Choosing a website theme for your practice area

A family law client and a criminal defense client arrive at a website in very different states of mind. The design should meet each of them where they are. That is why LegalWebDesigns offers six structurally different themes rather than recolors of one template.

Choosing a website theme for your practice area

A family law client and a criminal defense client arrive at a website in very different states of mind. The design should meet each of them where they are. That is why LegalWebDesigns offers six structurally different themes rather than recolors of one template.

Match the theme to the client's moment

  • Legal Executive (full-service and general practice): classic navy and gold, a practice-area slider and a trust strip for firms that handle many matter types.
  • Metropolitan (business and commercial): clean and corporate, structured like a professional services firm.
  • Hearth (family law): warm sage and terracotta, rounded cards and a three-step "How it works" for people going through a hard time.
  • Sentinel (criminal defense): dark canvas, a crimson "Available 24/7" bar and click-to-call everywhere, for people who need help tonight.
  • Legacy (estate planning and probate): refined burgundy and brass, editorial and calm.
  • Coastal (personal injury): a direct "free case review" call to action above the fold and intake forms on every page.

What stays the same in every theme

Mobile-first layout, WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility, schema and sitemap for search, a page per practice area, attorney profiles, intake forms and the AI website assistant.

When to go custom

If your firm has an established brand, ask for a custom design. On our platform it is included in the subscription with no extra design fee, and it still ships with the same accessibility and intake plumbing.
