Potential clients rarely hire a lawyer without checking them online first. Your website is often their first impression of your firm's professionalism.
What to include
- Practice areas, each with its own page in clear language.
- Lawyer profiles: qualifications, bar admissions and experience.
- How you work: consultation process and what to bring.
- Insights: articles on common legal questions build authority and search visibility.
- Contact: office address, phone, WhatsApp and a short enquiry form.
Step 1: domain
Your firm's name as a domain signals permanence. Register it at IDX; a .com.eg works well for firms practising in Egypt.
Step 2: secure hosting
Enquiry forms may contain sensitive information, so HTTPS everywhere is a must. IDX shared hosting includes free SSL; larger firms with client portals can use web hosting or a VPS.
Step 3: confidential email
Legal correspondence should never go through free personal accounts. Set up business email on your domain, with separate mailboxes per lawyer, strong passwords and two-factor authentication where possible.
Step 4: build with restraint
A clean, formal design, real photos of your team and office, and no exaggerated claims. Review any rules on advertising that apply to your profession.
Step 5: publish regularly
Short articles answering clients' frequent questions bring steady search traffic over time.
