A website that supports the right enquiries

Your website should help people understand whether your firm handles their matter, who they would work with and how to make first contact. It also needs to represent the practice you want to grow. A firm seeking employer-side mandates needs a different message from one taking employee enquiries; a referral-led boutique has different priorities from a firm investing in advertising.

We start with those distinctions. Your website brief connects the matters you want, the clients and locations you serve, and the capacity of your intake team. The aim is a credible presence and a clearer route to suitable enquiries, with results evaluated against your firm’s actual enquiries and consultations.

What your firm should expect from the project

A clear website proposal should explain what your firm will receive and what your team needs to contribute. Our written scope identifies the pages, design work, content responsibilities, contact features and launch deliverables. You can see where lawyer review is needed and which services continue after launch.

• A recognisable firm: design and messaging that reflect your practice, people and approach.
• Useful practice pages: clear explanations of the matters you handle and the next step for a prospective client.
• Confident first contact: accessible contact options and enquiry handling agreed with your staff.
• Review before launch: opportunities to review content and design against the agreed scope.
• A practical handover: training for the delivered website and clear boundaries for future support.

Compare proposals on these deliverables, as well as appearance. A lower initial fee may cover fewer pages, less writing or a different level of ongoing support.

Legal content and your firm’s approval

Your website represents your professional reputation. We write and design around the facts you can support: practice focus, lawyer backgrounds, approved recognitions and the way your firm works. You review legal explanations, fee statements, testimonials and results before publication.

Ontario firms can refer to the Law Society of Ontario’s marketing rules when deciding what to approve. Your firm remains responsible for its content and professional obligations; Canada Create’s writing and design services are not legal advice or a regulatory compliance review. This division of responsibility is set out in our Terms of Service.

Accessibility, privacy and first-contact requirements

These requirements affect what you buy, who needs to review it and how visitors can reach you. We agree the accessibility standard, page coverage and testing as specified deliverables in your written scope. Your firm determines which obligations apply, with Ontario’s website accessibility guidance as a starting reference.

For contact forms, your team approves the information requested, recipients, privacy wording and notices about confidential information. We can include the agreed notices and enquiry features in the build. Your lawyers retain responsibility for conflicts checks, establishing the client relationship and approving the firm’s privacy and consent requirements. If you are preparing an existing site for launch, our law firm website launch guide provides further context.

When your website no longer reflects your firm

A website project becomes worthwhile when there is a clear business reason: you have added a practice group, opened an office, changed your positioning or outgrown a site your team struggles to update. Another common concern is a mismatch between the firm’s reputation and what prospective clients see online.

Bring us those concerns, along with your current website. We can discuss a focused improvement or a wider redesign and identify which scope best addresses the problem. An existing site with useful content and a sound foundation may need less work than a full rebuild.

Your team’s time and project decisions

A law firm website needs input from busy people. We agree who supplies firm information, who reviews each practice area and who gives final approval. If writing is included, we can work from lawyer interviews and materials you provide. AI-assisted research and drafting may be used with human review, editorial judgement and applied expertise; your firm approves the final content.

You review the proposed pages and visual direction before the full WordPress development work. The schedule reflects the agreed scope and approval requirements. Under our Terms, each major phase includes up to two revision rounds unless the agreement says otherwise; additional scope or revisions may change fees and timing.

Practice areas, lawyer profiles and offices

We scope the website around the information a prospective client needs to choose your firm. That can include:

• Practice pages for the services you want the website to support
• Lawyer profiles showing relevant experience, qualifications and approach
• Office and service-area information that accurately reflects where you work
• Answers to common first-contact questions, reviewed by your lawyers
• Separate paths for different audiences, such as employers and employees

The number of pages, writing requirements and any multilingual content are agreed before development. For larger firms, we also discuss how new lawyers, offices and practice groups will be added over time.

Launch support, hosting and ongoing care

Your proposal sets out launch testing and handover, including the agreed contact features and website access. One-time website projects include reasonable handover training and 90 days of limited defect-correction support after acceptance, subject to the Terms. This is different from ongoing content changes, maintenance or support for later third-party changes.

Our managed website hosting is paid annually in advance and includes the services stated on that page and in the Terms. Additional maintenance and care are quoted separately. We make these responsibilities clear so your firm knows who will look after the site once the project ends.

Enquiries your team can act on

An enquiry is useful only when your staff know what to do with it. We agree the contact options and routing around your practice areas, office responsibilities and working hours. A consultation request, phone call or booking option should reflect the way your firm actually accepts new enquiries.

Where included in your scope, CS+, Canada Create’s CRM, supports enquiry routing and follow-up. Your team reviews the messages and receives a demonstration of the agreed handover. Detailed confidential intake and conflict checks remain within your firm’s approved process. We also agree which enquiry measures the website can report, without treating every submission as a qualified client or retained matter.

Website improvements or ongoing SEO?

If your site attracts relevant visitors but they struggle to understand your services or contact the right person, improvements to content and enquiry options may be the immediate priority. If reaching more prospective clients is the main concern, discuss ongoing SEO or local SEO alongside the website.

These services are custom-scoped after discovery. The proposal distinguishes the website build from ongoing marketing, its fees and its reporting. We do not guarantee rankings, enquiry volumes or retained matters.

Fees, ownership and what you are buying

Law firm website pricing depends on the work your firm needs. The main cost drivers are the number of practice and lawyer pages, content writing, design requirements, languages, photography, existing content to retain and any booking or CRM features. We quote after discovery rather than attach a single price to every firm.

Fees are quoted in Canadian dollars unless stated otherwise, plus applicable taxes. Your agreement sets the payment schedule and term. Review it with the Terms of Service, including the non-refundable payment and full-term fee provisions, before committing.

Who owns the website?

After full and final payment, you own the final work created specifically for your firm, subject to the Terms’ ownership and credit conditions. Third-party materials and Canada Create’s pre-existing tools are excluded. Advertising accounts, analytics properties, Google Business Profiles, domains and social media accounts are set up in your firm’s name where the platform allows, and remain yours. The required Canada Create credit remains with the work, including after a hosting move; source files or access reasonably required to operate the deliverables are provided on final payment unless the agreement says otherwise.

To assess the investment, consider suitable enquiries, consultations and matters your firm can attribute to the website, alongside its total project and ongoing costs. Your own intake records provide the context for judging value.

Marketing after launch

For firms seeking ongoing acquisition support, SEO services for law firms and Google Ads management can be scoped alongside or after the build. We agree the service priorities, fees and reporting with you. Advertising spend is paid separately to the platforms.

If your firm offers suitable services for online purchase, ecommerce website work can be discussed as additional scope, subject to your firm’s professional requirements. For broader planning, see our law firm marketing guide and Canadian lawyer advertising overview.

A website suited to your practice

The right brief depends on the people you advise and the decisions they face.

• Family law and estates: a calm, discreet presentation of sensitive services and the first consultation.
• Personal injury and criminal defence: clear contact options, accurate availability and careful presentation of fee arrangements and results.
• Immigration: understandable service descriptions and language options that match your firm’s capacity.
• Business and employment: a clear explanation of the clients you represent, from individuals to employers and in-house teams.
• Real estate: straightforward information about the transactions you handle and how to request assistance.

We use these differences to shape the scope and tone with your firm, rather than assume every practice needs the same website.

Choosing the right level of design

A solo practice launching its first site may need a focused set of pages and a straightforward enquiry route. An established boutique may need stronger positioning and detailed lawyer profiles. A multi-practice firm may need more extensive content, office information and separate enquiry paths.

Our custom design work is scoped around those requirements. In discovery, we discuss the budget, what can be retained and which features are worthwhile now. You can compare the proposal with a simpler template-based option on the work included, editing needs, licences and future costs.

Redesign without overlooking the existing site

If your current website already supports referrals and enquiries, that value belongs in the redesign brief. We review the existing pages and content before recommending what to retain or replace. The agreed migration scope addresses the existing site, contact routes and launch responsibilities.

Tell us about important pages, recent changes and any bookings or marketing activity the site supports. Search visibility can change during a redesign; we discuss that risk and the agreed launch checks without promising unchanged rankings.

Presenting your lawyers with confidence

Your people are central to the buying decision. We can develop profiles that explain each lawyer’s practice focus, background and approach in language prospective clients understand. Firm-supplied credentials, recognitions and experience claims need to be accurate and approved.

Photography and visual direction should feel consistent with your firm. We discuss available images, any new photography required and the related costs. The existing design images below illustrate presentation possibilities; your firm’s scope and design are agreed separately.
