Short answer
A managed law firm website subscription can include the website, domain, hosting, and SSL, along with software for firm operations and client intake. LegalWebDesigns charges $0 for setup, then $49 per month or $490 per year. The subscription has no contracts, and the firm owns its website and data. Check the plan details to confirm which features are included and what setup or ongoing work you will handle yourself.
What does the website subscription cover?
The website is the public-facing part of the service: the pages prospective clients visit to learn about the firm and contact it. The subscription includes a domain, hosting, and SSL, so those core website services are part of the stated price.
SSL helps encrypt information sent between a visitor’s browser and a website. It is a standard security component, but it does not by itself make every form or process secure. Ask how website forms handle submissions and what steps the firm must take to protect information after it arrives.
The site comes with a choice of six themes. Each offers a starting design, rather than requiring the firm to build every page from scratch. Review the themes and sample sites to see which visual approach fits your practice. You can browse website examples before deciding.
What software and intake tools are included?
The subscription also includes practice management software with matters, a calendar, documents, billing, and a client portal. Those functions cover common administrative workflows, but they do not automatically replace the firm’s existing processes. Before switching, consider how the tools fit your staff’s day-to-day work and whether you need to move existing records.
An AI website assistant is included for intake conversations. It runs using the firm’s own API key, so the firm needs to provide that key. Ask what AI provider the firm plans to use, what that provider charges, and how the assistant handles information visitors enter. The subscription price does not establish the cost of the firm’s API usage.

How much does it cost, and what are the terms?
The stated price is $49 per month or $490 per year, with $0 setup. The annual option costs $98 less than paying the monthly rate for 12 months: $49 multiplied by 12 is $588. The annual price is a separate billing choice, so confirm when it is charged and how renewal works.
There are no contracts. The offer also includes a 30-day money-back guarantee. Review the current terms for how to request a refund and whether any conditions apply. No setup fee does not necessarily mean every possible change, integration, or third-party service is included; ask about anything your firm specifically needs.
Who owns the website and data?
The firm owns its site and data. Ownership matters if the firm changes providers or needs copies of its content and records. Before starting, ask how to access the website, how to export data, and what steps are needed to keep the domain if the subscription ends.
Also clarify what “managed” means in practice. Confirm who updates text and images, handles technical requests, and makes design changes. Those details can affect the time and additional costs involved in maintaining the site, even when domain, hosting, and SSL are included.
