A law firm's website must inspire trust within seconds, respect the profession's ethical rules and make first contact easy. We design sober, fast firm websites that rank on local and specialised searches, without ever crossing the line into comparative advertising or solicitation that the French bar forbids.

## What we do

### Firm presentation

Practice areas, team, fees, background: a clear structure designed for the client looking for a lawyer, not for the firm admiring itself.

### Contact and appointment booking

Qualified contact form, calendar integration (Calendly, Google), call-back request: every page leads to a contact, without friction or spam.

### Local and specialised SEO

Pages per area of law and per city served, Google Business profile, LegalService structured data: being found for 'employment lawyer Aix-en-Provence'.

### Legal content and news

A simple article space to publish your analyses, with SEO review and categories by practice area.

## What a client expects from a law firm website

They look for three things, in this order: does this firm handle my problem, who will I talk to, how do I reach them. A good site answers on one page: explicit practice areas, faces and backgrounds of the team, a contact button visible everywhere. The rest (fees, method, news) reassures and differentiates, but comes second. We apply the same discretion to [healthcare practices](https://eldev.fr/en/sectors/healthcare/index.md), another profession bound by secrecy.

## Being found without advertising

Organic search is the lever most compatible with professional ethics: clear pages per area of law, a complete Google profile, articles answering the questions your clients actually ask. We build that technical base (structure, speed, structured data) and give you a simple framework to publish. See also our [web development](https://eldev.fr/en/services/web-development/index.md) service and, for a firm that publishes a lot, [WordPress](https://eldev.fr/en/technologies/wordpress/index.md).

## Industry constraints

- French bar national rules (RIN): mandatory notices, personal advertising allowed but regulated, no comparison and no solicitation.
- Professional secrecy: minimal form, no case details requested online, controlled hosting and email.
- GDPR: processing register for contact data, privacy policy, retention period.
- Digital accessibility (RGAA) recommended, mandatory above certain thresholds for public or assimilated bodies.
