  • Upgrading My Virtual Law Office Website

    After five years, I finally got around to updating my virtual law office website. I’m still kicking the tires and making a few tweaks, but I’m pretty pleased with it as it is. I’ve got grand plans to update my whitepapers and to send out monthly emails to my online clients.  I’d also like to add realtime chat and more instructional videos and testimonials in the near future.

    Because most of my clients are seeking online legal services, I needed to focus on the integration of social media applications and online “calls to action” to provide free, useful content related to NC Estate Planning. This approach should generate additional prospective clients for my practice.  I’ve also added a property analysis calculator for prospective clients to use to get an estimate of the value of their estate. The site launched last Tuesday afternoon and that week I landed a new estate planning client and saw an increase in prospective clients registering on my site. Not bad. Note also the disclaimer at the bottom of the homepage regarding information about my physical location, jurisdiction and office hours. There should be no question in anyone’s mind where I am licensed to practice law and serve clients.

    I worked with Cynthia and Selena at Rowboat Media on the redesign. Feedback is welcome.

Below are my contributions to the discussion.
