Who it's for

Firms we design websites for.

Someone looking for a lawyer is usually under stress and comparing several firms at once. Whatever your practice, the website has to make your firm the obvious next call. We work with:

◉

Solo practitioners

A credible, focused site that puts one attorney's experience front and center without looking small.

◉

Small & mid-size firms

Multi-attorney firms with several practice areas that need visitors to find the right lawyer quickly.

◉

Personal injury & workers' comp

High-competition practice areas where local search and fast, mobile-friendly contact options matter most.

◉

Family law & criminal defense

Sensitive situations where tone, privacy and a calm, clear next step make the difference.

◉

Estate planning, probate & real estate

Planning-focused practices where clients research carefully and want plain-language explanations.

◉

Business, immigration & other practices

Corporate, employment, immigration, bankruptcy and niche practices that need their own focused pages.

What we build for law firms

What's included.

✓

Practice-area page architecture

Each practice area gets its own dedicated page, written and structured to actually rank for the searches people run when they need that specific kind of help.

✓

Attorney bio & credibility pages

Credentials, experience, and case results (where you can share them) presented clearly — often the deciding factor for someone comparing firms.

✓

Consultation-focused contact flows

A clear next step for someone in a legal situation — not a generic "contact us" form that leaves them guessing what happens next, protected by the same firewall and hardening practices we put on every site.

✓

Ethical-advertising-aware content

We write copy that avoids guaranteed-outcome language and stays mindful of attorney advertising rules — your bar's specific requirements should still get a final compliance review from your firm.

✓

Office & location pages

A page for each real office with its address, hours, map and phone number, matched to its Google Business Profile.

✓

Click-to-call & mobile layout

Many people contact a lawyer from a phone. The number and the consultation button stay visible on every screen.

✓

Legal resources & blog

Plain-language articles and FAQs that answer common questions, reviewed by your attorneys before publishing.

✓

Disclaimers & required language

Footer disclaimers, "no attorney-client relationship" notices near forms, and any statements your firm specifies, built into the design.

✓

Intake & analytics

Forms routed to your intake team or legal CRM, with call and form tracking so you can see which pages produce consultations.

The client journey

Designed around how people choose a lawyer.

1

Search

A prospective client searches a legal problem or "lawyer near me." Practice-area pages and your Google Business Profile get you seen.

2

Understand

They want to know whether you handle their kind of matter and what the process looks like, in plain language.

3

Trust

Attorney bios, credentials, real photos and honest explanations answer "can this firm help me?"

4

Contact

One clear action: call, or request a consultation through a short form that explains what happens next.

Local SEO for law firms

Law firm website design that helps Jacksonville clients find you.

Legal searches are some of the most competitive local searches there are. Visibility comes from a few things working together:

✓

Google Business Profile

A complete profile for each real office location, with accurate categories, hours and photos, and a name, address and phone that match the website. More on Google Business Profile.

✓

Reviews, within the rules

Ask clients consistently, without incentives or filtering, as Google's review policies require. Keep replies short and never reveal client information; your confidentiality duties still apply online.

✓

Practice-area pages

One focused page per practice area, and where it makes sense, per city you serve, so Google has something specific to rank.

✓

Structured data & technical SEO

Schema markup, clean URLs, an XML sitemap and internal links between attorneys, practice areas and offices.

We also build law firm websites elsewhere in Florida, working remotely. See our professional services SEO page or our SEO services for ongoing work after launch.

Advertising rules

Written with the Florida Bar's advertising rules in mind.

In Florida, the lawyer advertising rules in Subchapter 4-7 of the Rules Regulating The Florida Bar apply to lawyer and law firm websites, not just billboards and TV. The Bar's advertising regulation page links to those rules, its Handbook on Lawyer Advertising and a checklist specifically for lawyer and law firm websites and social media. Here's how that shapes our work:

✓

No guaranteed outcomes

Our copy avoids promising or predicting results. Language like "we'll win your case" doesn't go on the site.

✓

Past results, only as your firm approves

Case results and testimonials appear only if your firm decides they meet the rules and wants them shown.

✓

Claims you can support

We avoid unverifiable superlatives and use only the credentials, certifications and memberships your firm provides.

✓

Your attorneys sign off

We're web designers, not lawyers, and this isn't legal advice. Every page gets your firm's compliance review before launch.

Accessibility

Accessible to every prospective client.

The U.S. Department of Justice's web accessibility guidance says businesses open to the public need to make their online services accessible and points to WCAG as a helpful standard. We design law firm sites to WCAG 2.2 AA: readable contrast, keyboard navigation, labeled form fields and descriptive alt text. If your current site needs an audit first, see our ADA website compliance service.

Speed & security

Fast, secure and careful with what visitors share.

✓

Mobile-first speed

Compressed images, lean code and caching keep pages quick on a phone and Core Web Vitals healthy.

✓

Short, secure first forms

Forms submit over HTTPS, carry spam protection and ask for contact details and a brief summary rather than the whole story.

✓

Hardening & backups

A web application firewall, limited admin access, two-factor logins and regular backups. Website security details.

Process

How a law firm website project runs.

1

Discovery

Your practice areas, attorneys, offices, ideal clients and the intake tools you already use.

2

Sitemap & content plan

Every page mapped to a client question and a search term, with attorney review points marked.

3

Design

Wireframes, then high-fidelity desktop and mobile designs reviewed with your team.

4

Build & compliance review

Development, intake integrations, accessibility and speed testing, then your firm's review of every page.

5

Launch & support

Redirects from old pages, Search Console and Google Business Profile checks, then optional ongoing SEO and maintenance.

Where this comes from

We've built for firms before.

Wilcox, McFadyen, Fields & Sutherland PLLC is a past client of ours — a law firm build where the goal was the same as it is for every firm we work with: a site that reads as credible to someone who's often dealing with a stressful situation, and that gets them to the "schedule a consultation" step without friction. We're not attorneys and we don't give legal advice on your content — final review of anything claiming a specific outcome or result should always go through your firm before it's published.

Socially Bold has been designing websites for more than 10 years and has built 100+ websites and apps. We're rated 5.0 on Google from 33 reviews, and our office is at 12620 Beach Blvd, Suite #3, Jacksonville, FL 32246.

Common questions

FAQ

Do you write the legal content, or do we need to review everything?

We write from information and direction your firm provides or approves. Anything describing case outcomes, results, or specific legal claims should get a final review from an attorney at your firm before publishing — we'll flag where that matters most.

Can you handle bar-compliant advertising disclaimers?

We build the disclaimers and required language your firm specifies into the design, and we write copy that avoids guaranteed-outcome language by default — but your bar's exact requirements are ultimately your firm's call, not ours.

Do you work with solo practitioners, or only larger firms?

Both — the practice-area page structure and consultation-focused design work the same whether it's a solo attorney or a multi-partner firm; it's just a question of scope.

We're not local to Jacksonville — can you still work with us?

Yes. Most of our client relationships run remotely through video calls and a shared project board.

Do the Florida Bar's advertising rules apply to a law firm website?

Yes. The Florida Bar's lawyer advertising rules in Subchapter 4-7 cover websites, and the Bar publishes a checklist for lawyer and law firm websites. We write with those rules in mind, but your firm is responsible for the final compliance review. This isn't legal advice.

Can we show case results and client testimonials?

That's your firm's decision under the advertising rules. If you choose to include them, we display them exactly as your firm approves, along with any disclaimers you specify.

How do you help a law firm rank in local search?

We build a focused page for each practice area and office, add structured data, and align the site with an accurate Google Business Profile for each location. Steady, policy-compliant reviews help too. No one can guarantee rankings, but these are the foundations local search depends on.

What should a law firm contact form ask for?

Contact details, the general type of matter and a short summary. Detailed facts are better handled in a follow-up conversation, and a notice near the form explains that submitting it doesn't create an attorney-client relationship.

Will our law firm website be ADA accessible?

We design to WCAG 2.2 AA, the standard most accessibility audits use, and can audit and fix an existing site. For a legal opinion on your firm's obligations, consult counsel.

Can you redesign our existing firm website without losing rankings?

Yes. We inventory your current pages and the searches they rank for, keep or improve that content, set up 301 redirects from every old URL, and watch Google Search Console after launch.
