Websites for law firms
A custom website for your law firm
We design your firm’s site from a blank page and connect it to the tools your firm already uses for intake, scheduling and client files. If you don’t have an intake system, we can build one that asks only for the names your team needs to begin its conflict review.
$1,000 once for up to five pages. The site is yours, with no required monthly fee to us.
- Designed from scratch for your firm
- Connects to the intake, scheduling or client portal you already use
- Console, your own dashboard for editing attorney bios, articles and news, free for six months
- Built for search engines (SEO)
- Most sites live in 1 to 4 weeks
We reply within one business day, and we’re happy to meet in person around Dallas–Fort Worth.
Try it the way your clients would
Vale Counsel is a demo firm we built to show this work. Send a sample inquiry as a client, then switch to the firm’s side and see how it arrives.
Recent client work
Ponder Chamber of Commerce
A new website, iPhone and Android apps, and a dashboard that publishes to all three at once.
iPhone and Android apps, built for iPhone Duo
Members and visitors get the same events, news and business directory in the apps. Open on iPhone Duo, the app uses the whole screen, with two columns on the home page and event pages laid out like the website on a computer.
New inquiries, handled the way your firm already works
Template sites give you the forms they come with. We start from how your firm takes on clients today and pick the setup that fits it.
Connect the system you already use
Included. If your firm takes inquiries through Clio or another intake system, the site’s Contact and Book buttons open it, or we embed its form on your Contact page where the provider allows that. Your provider bills you directly.
A short callback request
Included. Visitors leave their name, a phone number or email and the practice area, and the request goes to the inbox you choose. A notice above the form asks them not to describe their situation yet.
Names first, then booking
Quoted with your plan. For firms without an intake system, the first step collects only the names your team needs to begin its conflict review. Your staff run the check in your own system, record the result, and the visitor gets a booking link once you clear the inquiry. This is the flow in the Vale demo.
A live sync, such as sending each inquiry into Clio automatically, depends on what that company’s plan allows, so we check it and quote it before we start.
A clear way into your client portal
Case details and documents stay in the secure portal your firm already uses. Your site’s menu has a clearly labeled Client portal link, and your booking confirmation can point new clients to it.
Flat fees with dates
Each flat fee shows a “valid through” date, and every published change is kept in Console’s history.
Attorney and office details on every page
The responsible attorney and office details your state’s advertising rules call for stay in place when someone edits the site. Your firm still decides what its rules require.

Already talking with a provider? Ask these before you sign:
- Who owns the domain, the design and the content?
- What happens to the site if we stop paying?
- How much notice do we have to give to cancel?
- Who controls our analytics and Google Business Profile?
How can it be $1,000? Every design starts from a blank page, but Console, hosting setup and the handover use parts we’ve already built and tested, so your project’s time goes into your design and features. Your domain is paid directly to your registrar, and hosting can be free on Cloudflare. See everything that’s included
Who you’ll work with
You work directly with the person building your site
Projects are led by Joshua Brackin, our lead developer. He spent 12 years at Apple as a Senior Technical Advisor, working out what was going wrong for customers and working with engineering teams on the fix, and he was CTO of a startup for three years.
Every project starts with how your firm takes on clients: who answers new inquiries, how conflicts get checked and when someone can book a call. We turn that into a written plan before any design begins.

Questions firms ask
Is Vale Counsel a real firm?
No. It’s a demo we built, and its attorneys, fees and contact details are samples.
Do you know the advertising rules for lawyers?
We build in the details you tell us your rules require. We aren’t lawyers, so your firm remains responsible for what the site says and for any filings.
Does the site check for conflicts?
No. Your firm runs its conflict check in its own system. The site collects what your team needs to begin that review, and with the names-first option, booking opens only after your staff record that the inquiry is cleared.
Who writes the notice on the intake form?
Your firm. We show your wording on the form. With the names-first option, the site also records which version each visitor accepted and when.
Can it connect to Clio or our calendar?
Yes. Linking to your intake form, scheduler or client portal, or embedding it where the provider allows, is included. Sending each inquiry into your system automatically depends on that system: Clio and Calendly have public APIs, MyCase offers its API on its top tier, and PracticePanther grants access case by case. We check what your plan allows and quote that work before we start.
Do you run ads or monthly SEO?
Those aren’t included. We build the site to be ready for search engines, and you can hire any marketing company you choose. The site and its accounts stay yours if you change providers.
Can clients upload documents through the site?
No. The site sends them to your firm’s secure client portal, which is built to hold case files. If you don’t have one yet, we’ll talk through the options and quote any custom work before we start.
Where are inquiries stored, and who can see them?
We agree that with you in the written plan before we build: what each form asks, where submissions go, who on your team can see them and how long they’re kept. Even names can be sensitive, so the first form asks for as little as your firm needs.
Will my site show up on Google?
We build every page so search engines can read it, and we set up the basics they look for. We can’t promise a ranking, because that also depends on your content, reviews and local competition.
What will I pay after launch?
Your domain costs about $10 to $20 a year, paid to your registrar. Hosting can be free on Cloudflare’s free plan. Console is free for six months, then $499 once or included with care. Monthly care is optional, starting at $49.
Do you work with firms outside Texas?
Yes. We work remotely anywhere, and we’re happy to meet in person around Dallas–Fort Worth.
Prices are in USD. Texas sales tax is added for Texas-based customers.
