Build Your Online Brand With a Web 2.0 Plus Web Site.

How well is your existing web site designed? Get your free web site evaluation and legal web strategy consultation. Is your web site good enough for a "connected generation"

DirectLaw’s online marketing solution offers a Web site optimized for search engine placement, complete with an integrated online legal services delivery system. We call our law firm web sites - Web 2.0 Plus Web Sites because they contain the interactive and collaborative features that a connected generation wants. All of the web site that we develop are integrated with our DirectLaw Virtual Law Firm Platform. We don't do brochure web sites. (We think a simple, brochure web site, is a waste of money. It might have been good for your law firm in 2004, but not 2012).

DirectLaw™ Complete is our best value.

You get:

A free Web 2.0 Plus, web site included with a 12-month DirectLaw™ Complete subscription Plus Legal Content + Web-enabled document automation + libraries of automated legal forms + create your own forms + create your own legal services to sell online.

The perfect solution if you want to:

Enter the online arena with a brand new law firm web site that is optimized for collaboration and interactivity;
Create a second, standalone Web site where limited or "unbundled" legal services are offered separately from your traditional law firm services; or
Redesign an existing Web site to incorporate a virtual element and deliver online legal services.

Your law firm Web site is built based on one of our DirectLaw-designed templates and includes:

Integration of the DirectLaw Virtual Law Firm Platform;
Targeted messaging to attract online consumers seeking legal services;
Online marketing strategy to optimize your site for search engine placement;
A built-in blog facility for use now or later, depending on your ability to keep it current, based on WordPress;
