Should an Attorney have a Template Site or a Custom Designed Site?

A templated site is the kind of site you get from LexisNexis, lawyers.com or martindale.  These 3 are essentially the same company. The benefit is their focus is on building attorney sites.  You would expect they have it down to an exact science since it is all that they do.   They can also integrate their marketing services directly with your website.  You might also get better pricing, better quality or some combination working with a template providor vs a web designer or agency.

Some of the concerns or challenges of using a templated solution.  No standard pricing, they set whatever rate they feel you will pay, it is more of a volume sales service.  You will be hard pressed to truly evaluate the talent, experience of your specific providor.

And a major flaw of the templated system…when you stop paying for it, you no longer have a website.

Why Attorney Sites Need Website Design Professionals

Having your website designed by a website design agency can have significant benefits.  Some of the most popular and appreciated benefits are:

  • Your site will stand out from the templated sites
  • You own your site
  • You can work with someone local

Other benefits include getting a better quality of on page seo included or at a one time cost with your website.  You might spend less money overall.

There are pros and cons for either style.   And there will be fans and critics of both the templated solutions and custom design solutions from web companies.
