By Mehdi HassanHow much does a law firm website cost?
A law firm website costs anywhere from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands, depending on the firm's size, the number of practice area and attorney pages, who writes the copy and how intake is handled. WebFX's research puts small-business websites at roughly $1k to $48k, and law firms sit across that whole range.
This guide separates the website from the intake and practice management tools it connects to, because those are ongoing subscriptions with their own pricing. For what the site itself should contain, start with our guide to law firm website design.
Firm type | Typical scope | Where quotes usually land |
|---|---|---|
Solo practice | 5 to 8 pages, template or light custom | Low thousands to low five figures |
Boutique, 3 to 20 lawyers | 10 to 40 pages, custom design, bios | Mid four figures to mid five figures |
Mid-size, several offices | 40+ pages, people search, insights | Five figures and up |
Designify website | Up to 6 pages, copy included | $8,000 fixed, +$500 per extra page |
Designify landing page | One page for a single practice or campaign | $6,000 fixed |
These are typical ranges we see quoted, and they vary widely by region and agency. Agency builds on Webflow commonly run about $5k to $80k+, and custom Next.js builds about $20k to $120k, before any intake integration or ongoing marketing.
What drives the cost of a lawyer website?
The cost of a lawyer website is driven mostly by content, not visuals: how many practice area pages and attorney bios you need, and who writes them. Design and build time matter, but writing accurate, compliant, plain-language pages for each practice area takes longer than most firms expect.
- Practice area pages. Each needs a clear explanation, a process overview, an FAQ and the right attorneys linked. Ten practice areas means ten real pages.
- Attorney bios. Interviews, photography and accurate admissions for every lawyer. Photography is often a separate cost.
- Copywriting. Quotes that leave copy to the firm look cheaper. Several cost sources note that quotes can differ tenfold depending on whether strategy and writing are included.
- Compliance components. Disclaimers, results cards and intake form wording, reviewed by counsel. See our checklist of law firm website requirements.
- Brand work. A new logo and identity adds a separate project, typically before the website.
- Platform and CMS. People search, multiple offices and an insights library push you toward a larger build.
How much does intake integration add to law firm website cost?
Intake integration adds two separate costs to a law firm website: the subscription to the intake or practice management tool, and the one-off work to connect the website's forms to it. Tools such as Clio Grow and Lawmatics are priced per user or per plan by their vendors, so check their current pricing pages rather than relying on old figures.
Cost line | Who charges it | One-off or ongoing |
|---|---|---|
Intake or CRM subscription (e.g. Clio Grow, Lawmatics) | The software vendor | Ongoing, per user or plan |
Form connection and field mapping | Your web team | One-off |
Online booking and e-signature setup | Vendor tools plus web team | One-off setup, ongoing subscription |
Call tracking and chat | Third-party vendors | Ongoing |
Website hosting and CMS | Platform provider | Ongoing |
Many intake tools offer embeddable forms, which are quick to add but harder to style. A custom form that posts to the tool's API looks native to your site and lets you control disclaimer placement, but takes more build time. Hosting is a separate line too; our guide to website hosting cost covers what a marketing site typically needs.
Hypothetical example: budgeting a boutique employment firm
For example, suppose a six-lawyer employment firm wants a home page, four practice area pages and an attorneys page with individual bios. That's six core pages plus six bio pages.
At Designify, the first six pages are $8,000 and six extra bio pages are $3,000 (+$500 each), so $11,000 for the website, copy included. The firm's intake subscription, photography and any form integration beyond a standard connection would be budgeted separately and scoped on the intro call. This is an illustration of how we'd price it, not a client result.
How does Designify price a law firm website?
Designify prices a law firm website at a fixed rate: $8,000 for up to six pages, with $500 for each extra page. The same small team writes, designs and builds, so plain-language practice copy is part of the price, not an extra. We build in Next.js with a CMS your staff can update, including disclaimer components that only admins can change.
- Website, up to 6 pages, copy and CMS included
- $8,000
- Per extra page, such as a bio or practice area
- +$500
- Single landing page for one practice or campaign
- $6,000
- Brand & design sprint before the build
- $3,000
Timelines and any migration work are scoped on the intro call. If you're not sure about committing, the $1,000 trial week gives you a week of design and development to judge the work first. See all prices in our pricing section.
What should a solo or small firm spend on a website?
A solo or small firm should spend enough to get clear copy, real photos and compliant intake, and no more. For many solo practices, a well-written five-to-six page site or a single strong landing page is enough to win referrals and local searches. A larger custom build makes sense once you have several practice areas or lawyers to present.
- Under budget pressure: a quality template, your own carefully written copy and professional headshots.
- Growing practice: a custom six-page site with practice pages and bios, built on a CMS you can edit.
- Several lawyers and practice areas: add pages one by one rather than launching a large empty site.

What hidden costs should law firms plan for?
Law firms should plan for photography, counsel review of compliance wording, accessibility testing, intake subscriptions, hosting and ongoing content updates. These are rarely in a website quote, and together they can add meaningfully to the first-year budget.
- Photography for every attorney and the office.
- Counsel or ethics review of disclaimers, results and specialist claims.
- Accessibility audit before launch. Our guide to accessibility audit cost explains typical scopes.
- Ongoing updates for new lawyers, practice changes and recognitions.
