Criminal defense attorney website design
Criminal defense attorney website design.
A DUI firm's website has one job: convert a stressed person on a phone, at night, on a bad connection, into a phone call. Everything else is secondary to that. We hand-code static sites with no page builder, no plugin stack, and no database, so the page arrives in under a second, the phone number is unmissable, and every charge page is structured to rank and to be quoted by AI.
What kind of websites does Traffic Lawyer Marketing build?
UpdatedWe hand-code static sites with no page builder, no plugin stack, and no database, built to load in about a second on a phone.That is where and how a client searches after an arrest, often at night on cellular data.
Websites start at $3,000, quoted on how many charge and jurisdiction pages the build includes.Pay up front and the engagement runs six months, or amortize across twelve. The recurring program is separate, from $1,000 a month.
You own the domain, the content, and the code.No proprietary platform. If the relationship ends you keep a working site, and every charge page stays structured to rank and be quoted.

What criminal defense attorney website design has to get right
Speed
Static HTML with no plugin layer loads in a fraction of the time a page-builder site takes.That matters most in the exact conditions your clients are in: a phone, cellular data, one bar of signal, and no patience.
Conversion
The phone number is persistent, tappable, and impossible to miss on every screen size.Plus a short form that does not demand a life story, and copy that names the client's situation so they know they are in the right place.
Indexability
Content is in the HTML, so search engines and AI extractors see it without executing JavaScript.Clean heading hierarchy, real schema, fast crawl. The SEO work has something to stand on instead of fighting the platform.
Law firm website speed
Page-builder law firm sites versus hand-coded
| Typical page-builder build | Hand-coded static | |
|---|---|---|
| Mobile load | Frequently 4–8 seconds | Around a second |
| Assets per page | Dozens of CSS and JS files | One small bundle |
| Attack surface | Database, login page, plugin CVEs | Static files, nothing to log into |
| AI extraction | Content often behind JavaScript | Content in the served HTML |
| Ongoing maintenance | Plugin and core updates, breakage | Rebuild and redeploy |
| Adding a charge page | Slow, and often inconsistent | Templated and consistent |
This is not an argument that WordPress is bad. It is an argument that a marketing site which is mostly text should not ship a page-builder runtime to render text.
Bar compliance
Built to your jurisdiction's advertising rules
Most template law firm sites quietly violate at least one advertising rule. Missing advertising labels, prior-result claims without the required disclaimer, testimonials that imply a guarantee, and contact forms that never say a submission does not create an attorney-client relationship.
We build the required disclaimers in from the start, keep case results and testimonials inside what your jurisdiction permits, and flag anything ambiguous for your review before launch rather than after a grievance. Where a rule is unclear we take the conservative reading.
