Law
A website for a law firm
The brief for a lawyer or a small law firm: practice areas a client understands, the people and their bars, the mentions the profession requires, and how a first consultation begins.
In short
For a law firm whose clients arrive with a worry, not a category. Gets your assistant to build one page per situation in the client's words, one per lawyer, a fees page, a consultation request, with the mentions your bar requires and no promise of results. Published with SayLive.
What this prompt asks your assistant to build
Written as you would say it. Paste it as is, then answer what your assistant asks.
I want a website for my law firm, built in this conversation and published with SayLive. We advise individuals and companies in a few practice areas, and a new client usually arrives with a worry, not a legal category. The site must let that person recognise their situation, understand how a first consultation goes and what it costs, and ask for one without fear. Before writing. Look us up (the bar directory, Google Maps, the publications, LinkedIn), tell me what you found, and ask me one question at a time for the rest: the practice areas and the client situations behind each, each lawyer's bar admission and languages, how fees work (hourly, flat, first consultation), and the exact mentions my bar requires on a website. Never write about results, never promise an outcome, never invent a mention. Then propose the site plan, page by page, with what each page says and where it links. I validate, then you write. The pages. Home: who we help and with what, in the client's words, one call to action. One page per practice area, written from the situation ("my landlord will not return the deposit") rather than the category, with how we work on it, what to bring, and how long it typically takes. One page per lawyer: admission, languages, matters handled without naming clients, publications or teaching. A fees page: how they work, the first consultation and its price, what is free. Contact: how to request a consultation, with a form that asks only what is needed. And an FAQ: can I be helped on legal aid, do you work remotely, how fast can I be seen. The tone. Clear, calm, respectful of someone who is worried. Short sentences, no Latin, no "aggressive defence of your interests". So people find us. Write what people type: lawyer and the city, lawyer plus the situation (divorce, dismissal, lease, company dispute), first consultation price. One title and description per page, one H1, subheadings as the questions a client asks, and the bar, the address and the compulsory mentions in the footer of every page. Technically. A static site, fast on a phone, no third-party script and no cookie banner since we track nobody. The form never asks for the facts of a case: that happens in the consultation, and the site says so. With SayLive. I give you the portraits through the media library; the contact form is the one included with the site and messages reach my email. When I say publish, publish and give me the address. I reread every word, you fix and republish; if a version is worse, we go back to the previous one. When I am happy, I connect our domain.
What to have at hand before you paste it
- Your business name, address, opening hours, phone and email.
- Five to ten photographs you own the rights to.
- Three concrete proofs: years in business, a certification, a number that means something.
- Your bar's rules on what a law firm website may say, especially about results and fees.
With SayLive, even better
What you get with SayLive on top
This prompt is enough: pasted into any assistant, it gets you a good site. Connected to SayLive, the same assistant works with what is held back here, with nothing to install:
- The SayLive skills, loaded by themselves: the research on your business before a line is written, the floor a page has to reach, the SEO plan with its queries and internal links, the structured data, and the critical review the assistant gives its own work before publishing. Included with every site.
- The Blueprint "Law practice": what a specialist of your trade knows and this prompt does not say. The questions to ask before the first line, the pages a site of this kind needs, what goes wrong in this trade, and the claims never to make unchecked. Bought once, for the site, 29.
- Alma, our designer agent: an art direction that holds from one conversation to the next, rather than your assistant's default style. Recruited once, 99.
- A human, if you want one: the Boost, 499 per expert day, when you would rather have a person take the site in hand.
And with every published site: 150 publications, 50 MB of media, 50 form messages, 50 review tickets, your own domain connected, and the previous version back in one sentence.
Frequently asked questions
Can a law firm website mention results?
Usually not, and never a promise. The prompt tells your assistant to describe the kinds of matters, not outcomes, and to check your bar's rules before writing anything about results.
Should fees be on the site?
Explain how they work (hourly, flat, first consultation) rather than quote them. Where your bar requires a mention, the prompt asks for the exact wording.
Which mentions are compulsory?
They depend on your bar and country. The prompt tells your assistant to ask you for the exact text rather than guess, and to leave a visible gap until it has it.
