Look at the typical law firm website.
Boring, isn’t it?
The message is bland. Lacking in personality and energy. Devoid of passion.
It fails to get anyone excited about the solutions offered. Hell, it probably doesn’t even mention solutions (benefits), it probably does what most lawyers’ websites do–provide a list of practice areas and a few bon mots about the attorney.
It’s ineffective. It looks like every other firm’s website. And it is very easy to ignore.
Don’t let this happen to you.
Clients often decide to hire an attorney based on how they feel about them and they make up their minds in the first 60 seconds.
If you want to stand out and get people excited about working with you, you can start by adding a little pizzazz to your website.
Don’t go overboard. Keep it professional. Dignified. Manicured and tailored. But pump some blood into its veins and add some color to its cheeks.
- Show people the positive side of what you do. Show them how your clients like working with you and are thrilled with the work you do for them.
- Show them your personal side–your background, your side interests, family, and what you do for fun.
- Show them the passion you bring to helping your clients–why you do what you do.
- Show them how your partners and staff love what they do, that your firm is a great place to work.
- Show them that while you might deal with serious subjects and painful problems, your practice is imbued with a positive spirit, and a productive and happy atmosphere.
Show prospective clients not just how you can help them but that you are passionate about helping them.
Make people feel good about you. Put a little life into your website (and other marketing collateral) and you should see more clients signing up.
You should also feel more excited about coming to work.
