Every page your clients look for, and every change after.
A Settled Sites website is a complete law firm site, usually fifteen to twenty pages, plus everything it needs to keep working: hosting, changes by email, local search, accessibility and the Illinois advertising checklist. One monthly fee, $299, covers all of it.
The pages you get.
Every site starts from your homepage and branches into the pages your clients look for. Here is a typical small firm's site, before we fit it to yours.
Your homepage
What you do, where, what it costs and how to reach you, all on the first screen.
Practice areas
One page for each service you offer, written around the questions clients ask about it.
4 to 8 pagesFees
What you charge, what it covers and what is billed separately. Or how fees are agreed, if you prefer.
1 pageYour attorneys
Admission, languages, what each attorney focuses on, and a real photograph.
1 to 4 pagesGuides
Short, sourced answers about Illinois law that your clients search for, with your name on them.
3 to 6 pagesWhere you work
Your office, your towns and the courthouses you are in, so local searches find you.
1 to 3 pagesContact and directions
A short form with the right notices, your phone and hours, and how to find you.
1 pageThe legal pages
Disclaimer, privacy and accessibility statements, written for a law firm.
3 pagesAnything you add later
A new practice area, a new attorney, an announcement. Email us and it becomes a page.
As many as you need
Usually 15 to 20 pages. No charge per page. New ones are added whenever you need them.
What happens, and when.
From the first call to every month after launch. The first two steps cost you nothing.
Day one
A free review
We look at your current site the way a client does, on a phone, and send you a short report in plain English.
Within a week
Your new homepage
Built with your own words, on a private link. Look at it on your phone. You have paid nothing.
Weeks two and three
Every page, for your approval
We write and build the rest. You read every page and change anything that is not how you would say it.
Launch day
Live, with nothing lost
Every address on your old site points to its new page, your Google Business Profile is linked, and your email is not touched.
Every month after
Kept right, without a login
Email a new fee, attorney or article. It is usually live within one business day, and every page keeps being checked for speed, links and accessibility.
Behind the scenes, handled.
The work you never see, and the reason there is a monthly fee rather than a one-off bill. How every site is built for search.
Hosting, security, backups
Nothing for you to renew, update or patch. It is all handled for you.
Changes by email
Send a new fee, attorney or hours. It is usually live within one business day.
Articles without a login
Paste your text into a simple form. It comes back checked and published.
Found in local search
Your towns, courthouses and practices where Google looks, linked to your Business Profile.
Accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA
Tested with a keyboard and a screen reader on every page. No overlay widgets.
The Illinois rules, checked
No "specialist" claims, a responsible attorney named, disclaimers by results. You sign off.
Yours to keep
The domain stays in your name. If you leave, the site files go with you.
Every old page redirected
At launch, every old address points to its new page, so links and results keep working.
What is not in the price, on purpose.
So your fee stays simple and you only pay for what you asked for.
An SEO retainer
Your site is built to be found locally from the first day. Ongoing campaigns and paid ads are a separate conversation, only if you start it.
Accessibility overlay widgets
Plugins that sit on top of a site do not make it conform to WCAG. Your site itself is built to the standard instead.
Stock photos of gavels
Real photographs of your attorneys and your neighborhood. If you have none, a photographer can be arranged.
Written reviews and invented results
Never. Illinois Rule 7.1 and the FTC rule on fake reviews both forbid them, and your clients can tell.
See your own firm's new homepage before you pay anything.
