NEW LEGAL WEB SITE DESIGN – California DUI Lawyer

Here is a site redesign for a Riverside, CA DUI Attorney. We upgraded the site from a basic HTML site to a wordpress CMS site so the lawyers can easily make edits to the site.

We added additional pages to the site, created new content, created a new firm logo, added new legal images and setup a DUI legal blog.

One strategy you can use with Internet marketing is creating multiple websites in addition to having your main website.  You can create geographic specific sites that focus on one location, or you can create a practice area specific site that focuses on specific area of your legal practice.

Sometimes there might be a class action or brand new type of legal matter that you want to focus on right away. Sometimes creating a site that is focused just on that specific area can be a good idea and a good way to come up in the organic search results.  If done right, you might even get multiple sites to come up on the first page of the search results.

The latest practice area specific site that we have created is for a Securities law firm that focuses on securities litigation and class action matters.  This new site is for a Lehman Brothers matter.  The firm is  currently investigating claims on behalf of investors in several securities tied to Lehman Brothers.   So we have created a site for the Lehman Brothers UBS matter that focuses specifically on this investigation.

The site has information about the firm and then information on this specific Lehman Brothers matter and a way to contact the firm.

The goal of this site is to get organic search engine traffic for all Lehman brothers related keywords.

The site can also be used as a good landing page for the pay per click campaigns at Google adwords.   Having a landing page that focuses specifically on the keywords your bidding on can improve your Google adwords quality score.

Its also best to send people to a specific page instead of just your home page.  People have short attention spans and want to find what they are looking for right away, make it easy for them and they will probably contact you.

Clever Tweet will give you the following features:

• Customizable amount of tweets to display
• Onmouseover stops animation
• Option to show retweets (RT)
• Option to show mentions (@username)
• Customizable jQuery animation interval
• Clickable hashtags

• Cache for faster loading and less requests to Twitter

Many lawyers have multiple websites that they use to market different geographic locations and different practice areas.  Many times these are static basic sites that only have a couple of pages of content and are pretty outdated.  A lot of times I get asked if there is an easy way for the lawyers to update their websites, or easily blog on the site.  Usually for these older sites, its not easily possible or cost effective. SO the best thing to do is scratch that old mini site and upgrade to a WordPress legal site.

An example of the latest upgrade we have done is for a Chicago Corporate Law Firm. We have upgraded this from a basic site to a site done in WordPress that has a more updated design, new legal images, a Legal Blog and more content.

Updating your sites design can be a good idea, especially if your original site was created more then 5 years ago.  Not only can you upgrade the look and feel of the site with a new design, but you can also add additional pages of content, further optimize the site for the search engines and add new elements to the site.  We have upgraded an existing one page site for a Chicago tax law firm to a new WordPress legal site with a new layout and design, new legal images and expanded it with more pages and content.

We created this legal “mini-site” a few years back and it was a basic one page site that focused on the law firms Taxation practice.  We have recently upgraded the Tax Lawyers site design and also created it using WordPress, so its now setup so that the lawyer can easily update the existing pages and add new pages. We also expanded the site to include additional pages of content and have added a blog component so that we can add new recurring content.

The latest lawyer web design project we are working on is creating a new wordpress theme design for an existing wordpress site. The beauty of creating your website with WordPress is that you can easily change the theme and change the overall design of your site.  Sometimes you might start out with a very basic design and then later decide to upgrade the look and feel of the site.

It’s better to get a basic site up right away and start adding content and blogging and then later on you can always upgrade like we have done here. We created a new theme including a new color scheme, updated logo and different images that rotate on the home page for the Lynnwood Personal Injury Lawyers.

The Lynnwood, Washington Personal Injury Law Firm of Robert Kornfeld handles clients with major personal injury, medical malpractice, wrongful death, car-pedestrian-bus collisions and accidents with trucks, construction and maritime injuries, serious injury claims involving the knee, hip, and spine and those catastrophic injuries, such as burns, chemical exposure, paralysis and quadriplegia, and nursing home or elder abuse cases.  Contact Lynnwood Personal Injury Lawyer Robert Kornfeld for a free consultation.

Your WordPress database contains every post, every comment and every link you have on your blog. If your database gets erased or corrupted, you stand to lose everything you have written. There are many reasons why this could happen and not all are things you can control. But what you can do is back up your data. After all, it is important. Right?

Some people might not even realize they need to backup the site or that its even possible. Usually you can do it from the web hosting control panel, but its somewhat complex and technical.  Yet like most things in WordPress, theres an easier way to get it done using a plugin.

WordPress has plenty of information on how to backup your WordPress site and how important it is here.

There are plenty of free plugins available to backup your wordpress sites but I am using one that is a paid plugin called Backup Buddy and its very easy to use and works well.  Hopefully you will never need to know if it works but it’s important to have this done. Also when you backup your files, you should have them on a different server then your site is on, in case something bad happens to your existing web server.

BACKUP BUDDY PLUGIN FOR WORDPRESS:

BackupBuddy is an all-in-one solution for backups, restoration, and migration. The single backup file created by the plugin can be used with the importer script to quickly and easily restore your site on the same server or even migrate to a new server with a different domain and database. Whether you’re an end user or a developer, this plugin is sure to bring you peace of mind and added safety in the event of data loss. Our goal is to keep the backup, restoration, and migration processes easy, fast, and reliable.

Creating a blog for your legal practice is a good idea for a number of reasons, including demonstrating your expertise in your practice area.  Its also a  good way to keep people informed on the latest news, verdicts, settlement and other information related to your law practice.

Pat Trudell is a Washington personal injury lawyer practicing in King and Snohomish Counties. He has been arbitrating and trying cases since 1986.  Pat is a successful trial lawyer with a proven track record.

Updating your legal website is a good idea for a number of possible reasons. Obviously you want to update the look and feel of your site over time, but sometimes you need to update your site when you want to be able to make edits to your site, and/or post to your blog within your site.

We have helped the law firm consultants at RJH Consulting not only update the look and feel on the previous website, but they now can easily add entries to the blog and make edits to the existing pages, as well as add new pages and articles to the site very easily.  This can also help with organic seo rankings when you add a blog to your site and blog!  Adding new content is very important and the more unique content you add to your law firms site, the better Google is going to like you.
