A Chicago partner and a studio in England.
Settled Sites is two people who build and look after websites for law firms, and nothing else. That means you deal with someone who already knows the Illinois advertising rules, what your clients want to find out, and how to get it in front of them.
Who you work with
Gaston Sitbon
Partner, Chicago
Gaston is your first call and your local contact. He is a US Air Force veteran and an Illinois homeowner, and he lives in Chicago, so he can meet you at your office. His research covers the websites of 892 Cook County law firms, which is why he knows what you are up against when a client searches for a lawyer.
Mark Jarvis
Partner, studio ยท Hampshire, England
Mark designs and builds your site and makes every change you send. His studio builds fast, hand-made websites for small businesses, and Settled Sites is its law-only side. For you, that means one person who knows your site inside out.
Why law firms only, and why that helps you.
A law firm website has rules most websites never meet: what you can say about results, who must be named, what a contact form must warn people about, and how a fee can be shown.
Getting those right once, and building every site on that knowledge, means you are not paying someone to learn them on your time. It also means the questions your clients ask are already answered on your pages, because they are the same handful of questions for every firm in your practice area.
Why Illinois first.
Gaston lives in Chicago, so you can meet one of us in person. That matters more to us than reaching every state at once.
Illinois also keeps rules that some states have dropped, like Rule 7.4 on certifications and "specialist" claims. Your site is built by people who learned this rulebook properly, not a national template with your state name swapped in.
Words you will never find on your site.
We are web designers, not lawyers, and this is not legal advice. It is the checklist your site is built to, and you approve every page.
