Websites for NY Lawyers That Will Get You Noticed Online!

If Somebody Was Looking Online For a Lawyer / Law Firm in Their Area, say New York (NY), and They Came Across Your Website, Would It Look Professional?

All too many legal websites appear to be put together from unimaginative templates and without the slightest regard for creativity. In fact, most of these websites do not even provide an identifiable logo from which a lawyer or law firm can build an identifiable brand. The look provided by such cookie cutter websites may be acceptable for certain businesses but it is far from the type of professional image a law firm should convey.

If you're not willing to put in the time and effort needed to create and maintain a great online presence, one that promotes you and your accomplishments through the use of branding, biographical information, firm news, testimonials, newsletters, photographs, videos, social networking, and other marketing devices, what is the point of having a website at all?

While you may already have a Facebook page, which is great, it does not replace having an effective website. A Website shows people that you have put in the time, effort and money to show people that you are an accomplished legal professional.

Benefits of Having a Legal Website from Creative Communications

Although you or your law firms may be listed in numerous legal directories, the information appearing there is limited at best and not an effective way of bringing in new business. A website, however, provides potential clients with an easy way to learn about you and the services you provide. It's like having a representative on duty 24/ 7.

In addition, we will see to it that your website is social network enabled so visitors can share your site with their friends on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and dozens of other Websites. Custom photography and biographical profiles will give potential clients a better awareness of your attorneys and staff, your offices, and your geographical location. You will also be able to post information about recent favorable verdicts, settlements, and appellate decisions.

A firm newsletter can add even more visibility to your firm's areas of practice and you will be able to immediately post breaking announcements regarding your firm as well as news articles in which you or your firm are mentioned.

In short, a website is your firm's chance to speak directly to potential clients at the time when they need an attorney the most. It will allow you to compete with larger firms on an equal footing and, most importantly, it will give you the recognition and respect you know you deserve.

Our Innovative "Instant Contact" Feature Provides Another Method of Securing New Business

No matter how hard you try, your schedule just doesn't allow you to be in the office when every new-case-call comes in. In fact, how many times has a potential client left a message that was not returned because it was lost, misplaced, forgotten, or became part of an unsuccessful game of phone tag?

With our exclusive Instant Contact Feature, when a potential client fills out the "Contact Us" page on your website, a text message containing all of their contact information will be sent instantly to your cell phone thereby minimizing the chances of losing the case. Such an instant response cannot help but impress anyone contacting your office through the use of your website.

We believe this feature is so important, we include it free with all of our Website packages.

Integration into Social Networking Sites

We all know that "social networks" are incredibly popular today, with Facebook alone having over 500 million members worldwide. As a result, they are changing the way we interact and socialize with others. These websites are redefining how businesses can reach and add new customers. The same is true for lawyers and law firms.

Until relatively recently, businesses (including law firms) would place advertisements in print publications like newspapers, magazines, and telephone books. Then, the best that could be hoped for was that someone in need of your particular product or services would first choose to look in that specific publication and then select your company from among many other similar businesses who had placed ads there. This was, at best, a crap shoot.

Geographically speaking, you would have to choose an area to advertise in. You could have a great ad in the Brooklyn Yellow Pages but be missing out on potential clients in Manhattan. You might have an ad in the New York Daily News and yet not be reaching all of the people who read the New York Post. There was also the matter of cost since this type of advertising was both expensive and short-term.

This is no longer the case, however. With social networking, people recommend products and services to their friends and so on down the line. This "word of mouth" method of promoting your business has no geographical or social boundaries. It never sleeps and is relatively inexpensive. This is a monumental break from the old way of doing business and those who fail to take advantage of it are missing out on a golden opportunity to grow their business.

All of our websites have built in social networking features and, additionally, we offer customized solutions such as the Wibiya tool bar (seen on the bottom of this site).

User-Friendly

Our websites are easy to use and no special skills are required. If you want to add a glowing client testimonial, a major settlement or favorable verdict, you will be able to do it yourself in seconds. You will even be able to change the look and feel of your site with the click of your mouse. This freedom is critically important to you.

Many website companies do not allow you to make changes to your site, period. In order to do so, you must contact them and, for a price, they will make the changes. This delays the implementation of the changes at the very time you need them posted quickly.

In truth, other companies hold your website hostage even though it belongs to you. Even if you are given the opportunity to make changes, these companies use software systems that are complex and difficult for customers to understand and use thereby leaving you in the same predicament. With many companies, you might not even be aware that you do not own your domain name.

Our system was built from the ground up for simplicity and ease of use. We believe you should have the ability to make changes to your website when you want, without needing technical assistance.

No More Excuses

There are no more excuses. This is the time to act if you want to increase your visibility and compete at a level that will increase your business. The best part is that all of this can be accomplished in a relatively short time.
