How much does a law firm website cost? Design, development and ongoing fees.

Law firm website development typically costs from a few hundred dollars for a simple, template-based site to well over $10,000 for a large multi-practice firm with custom design and extensive content. For most small and mid-size firms, a professionally built attorney or solicitor website lands in the middle of that range, and the real question is what you get for the money. This guide explains what drives the price and where a law firm should and should not spend.

What drives the cost of a law firm website

• ▸Number of pages: every practice area, attorney profile, and location usually needs its own page.
• ▸Design: a custom design costs more than adapting a template, and it is easier to make stand out.
• ▸Content: well-written practice area pages are the biggest SEO asset a firm has. Writing them takes time.
• ▸Features: online intake forms, appointment booking, live chat, multilingual pages, and client portals add cost.
• ▸Integrations: practice management software, CRM, and call tracking.
• ▸SEO and performance work: technical setup, schema markup, and speed optimization.

Typical price ranges

• ▸Simple 5-page site for a solo practitioner: roughly $300 to $2,500, depending on who builds it and how much content is included.
• ▸Growth site with 10 to 20 pages, a blog and strong on-page SEO: commonly $2,500 to $8,000.
• ▸Larger multi-practice or multi-office firm sites with custom design and bespoke features: $8,000 and up.

Ongoing costs most firms forget

• ▸Hosting and domain: usually small, but worth paying for quality.
• ▸Website maintenance: updates, security, and backups. See our website care plans.
• ▸SEO and content: a law firm website that is never promoted rarely wins cases. Budget for ongoing SEO.
• ▸Paid ads: many firms add Google Ads for high-value practice areas.
