One team of record for your account
The same people who built the site are the ones handling your revisions and tickets afterward.
Service
The difference between a studio and a legal website design agency in the traditional sense comes down to what happens after launch: a typical agency proposal ends with a delivered file and a final invoice, while an ongoing studio relationship keeps the same team responsible for revisions, hosting and new content every week the plan is active. A firm that hired an agency two years ago and has not touched its site since is the predictable outcome of the project model, since nobody on the original team is still being paid to care whether the site still looks current.

Who it is for
- Firms comparing legal marketing agencies and wanting a website-first alternative.
- Firms leaving an agency contract who want to own their site and domain.
- Firms that run ads with a specialist and need a strong site for those ads to land on.
Signs you need it
- 01Your agency owns the site or the domain and you are not sure what happens if you leave.
- 02You pay a retainer but cannot see what changed on the site last month.
- 03Edits go into a ticket queue and take weeks.
- 04You were quoted after a call and never saw a published price.
How a typical agency engagement runs
A proposal, a deposit, a design phase, a build phase, a final invoice, then the agency moves to its next client. That model can produce a good-looking site, but it has no built-in mechanism for what happens six months later when the firm adds an attorney, opens a second office, or simply wants the homepage headline changed. The firm either pays for a new scoped project, tracks down whoever originally built it, or lives with a site that quietly stops reflecting the firm as it actually is today. None of those outcomes reflect bad intentions from the original agency, they are simply the natural result of a business model built around delivering finished projects rather than staying accountable to any one client past the invoice date.
What changes with an ongoing plan instead
A monthly plan keeps the same team accountable past launch: 5 revisions a month included at any scope, raised through a client portal and turned around in 2 to 5 working days, then $20 each beyond that with no hourly billing and no cap. A new attorney profile, an updated office address, a changed headline, none of it requires a new proposal or a new invoice negotiation, it is simply the next ticket in the portal. That shift also means pricing stays predictable: a firm knows its monthly cost in advance rather than negotiating a new quote every time something needs updating, which removes the friction that usually keeps a firm putting off a needed change for months.
Content as an ongoing service, not a one-time deliverable
Most agency projects end with the site as delivered. An ongoing plan includes 2 to 3 new articles published every week, each 2,500 to 3,200 words, which means the site keeps growing on its own after launch instead of sitting static until someone pays for a redesign years later. That distinction, a site that is actively maintained versus a site that was built once, is the practical difference a firm feels eighteen months after signing. Those weekly articles also become new pages the firm's own site can point prospective clients toward directly, rather than the firm relying entirely on the handful of pages that existed at launch to answer every question a visitor might have.
What the pricing model looks like side by side
A traditional agency project is usually a large upfront invoice with no ongoing relationship implied. Here, a one-time $797 build fee is invoiced only after launch and your approval, followed by a transparent monthly plan, Solo Practice at $137, Multi-Attorney at $297 plus AI usage, or Multi-Office at $747, with hosting, SSL and support included in that price rather than itemized as extras discovered later. A firm comparing the two approaches over several years often finds the ongoing plan simpler to budget for than a traditional agency relationship, since revisions, hosting and content are already part of the monthly rate rather than separate line items negotiated each time something is needed.

In their words
Updating legal intake content used to mean describing a change by phone and hoping. Every change is recorded as old text, new text, approver, then published from that record. Far easier than narrating edits and hoping they survived the telling.

The documentation for the legal intake pages assumes nothing about the reader. It covers who to contact, how to request a change and what to check after publication. It has already earned its keep during one absence and one staff change.

Case studies
What it costs
The price is set by plan, not by page count or hours. Every plan carries the same design and build quality; what changes is what answers the phone and how much is published each week.
| Plan | Monthly | Live in | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Solo Practice | $137 / month | 7 days | The website, fully managed |
| Multi-Attorney | $297 / month + usage | 10 days | Everything, plus the AI Engine |
| Multi-Office | $747 / month | 15 days | Everything, plus the Content Engine |
Plus a $797 one-time build fee, invoiced only after launch and approval. Engagements started on or before Thursday, December 31, 2026 have the $797 build fee waived, so that invoice is never raised. Extra revisions beyond 5 a month are $20 each.

Not included
Legal advice or a compliance sign-off
We are not a law firm. We write to avoid outcome claims and add the disclaimers you ask for, but the firm reviews its content and stays responsible for its advertising rules.
Revisions beyond 5 a month
Each extra revision is a flat $20, with no hourly billing. Weekly detail updates never count as revisions.
AI usage on the AI Engine plans
The AI Engine is inside the Multi-Attorney and Multi-Office fee; the minutes answered and messages handled are billed at cost each month, with a running total you can see.
The AI Engine on Solo Practice
Solo Practice carries the full site, intake router and management. The AI receptionist, chat and messaging agents start on Multi-Attorney.
Social posts, reels and Google Business Profiles below Multi-Office
The Content Engine is on Multi-Office only. The other plans carry 2 researched articles a week.
A photographer on site
We give photography direction and build around the photos you send, or design pages that work without photos. We do not send a photographer.
Heavy third-party scripts against our advice
The 90+ PageSpeed guarantee does not cover scripts you ask us to add after we have told you what they will cost the score.
The terms of engagement
Six commitments, stated as terms rather than slogans, with the conditions visible.
- Clause 01
The build fee comes after approval
The $797 build fee is invoiced only once the site is live and the firm has approved it. Engagements started on or before Thursday, December 31, 2026 have the $797 build fee waived, so that invoice is never raised.
- Clause 02
Nothing goes live until you say so
You review the whole site on a private link and mark up what you want changed. Changes at that stage do not use your monthly revisions.
- Clause 03
90+ PageSpeed, kept
Every page we build and host scores 90+ on Google PageSpeed Insights for mobile and desktop. If a page drops below because of something we did, we fix it at no charge.
- Clause 04
Local search work continues until it lands
Local searches in your area start ranking within 3 to 5 months of launch, or the search work continues at no extra charge until they do.
- Clause 05
No fixed term
There is no contract length. Cancel by email with at least 2 business days before your next invoice date, and no further invoice is charged.
- Clause 06
Your domain and content are yours
The domain is registered in the firm's name or stays in it. On cancellation you get an export of your content and articles within 14 days.
All sales are final: the one refund the studio makes is for a duplicate or incorrect charge caused by its own billing, reported within 30 days. The refund policy sets out how that works. Read the refund policy.
Questions about legal website design agency
01What happens to our site after it launches?
Nothing stops. The same team keeps handling revisions, publishing weekly articles and managing hosting for as long as your plan is active.
02Do you outsource the design or development work?
No. The studio team that designs your site is the same team that builds and maintains it.
03How is this different from hiring a freelance developer and a separate SEO agency?
Design, development, hosting, revisions and weekly content publishing are one plan with one team, instead of coordinating separate vendors who do not talk to each other.
04Can we cancel if we decide to stop?
Yes, by email, at least two business days before your next invoice date, during business hours, 9 to 5 Central, Monday through Friday, excluding US public holidays. A message outside those hours counts from the start of the next business day.
05Are sales final?
Yes. The only refund issued is for a duplicate or incorrect billing charge, reported within 30 days.
06Do you run paid ads like an agency?
No. We build and manage the website. If you want ads managed, keep a paid-search specialist or agency; a fast, specific practice area page is a strong landing page for them.
07Can you take over a site an agency built?
Yes, as long as the firm controls the domain. We rebuild on our structure and redirect every old URL. If the agency holds the domain, recovering it comes first.
08Is your pricing really published?
Yes. Every plan, the build fee and the revision terms are on the pricing page. There is no discovery-call-only price.
09Who is our point of contact?
A person at the studio who replies within one working day, backed by the designer, developer and writer who built your site.
