01 —Why it matters
Why lawyers and law firms need a website
Clients self-qualify
Clear practice areas mean the requests you get are the ones you can take.
Consultations, not just calls
A request form collects the details you need before the first conversation.

A page per practice area helps people searching for help near them.
Credibility
Your profile, approach and insights show expertise before a meeting.

03 —Step by step
8 steps to your new site
- 1
Create your free account
Go to the sign-up page and enter your name and email. You don't need a card, and your first month of Pro is free.
💡 Tip: Use an email you check often. New leads from your site arrive there.
signup - 2
Start from LinkedIn or your resume
Paste your LinkedIn link or upload your resume. Bhalikaar fills in your name, work, skills and contact details, so your site starts out already about you.
💡 Tip: No LinkedIn or resume handy? Skip this step and type your details instead.
signup - 3
Pick the lawyer website template
Choose your job when you set up your site. The template comes with the pages and buttons lawyers and law firms need: practice areas, a "Free consultation" button, FAQs and your own AI agent. Every word is plain language you can change.
💡 Tip: Everything in the template is a starting point. Change any word, photo or page.

Add your photo and a few words
Open Homepage in the admin panel. Add a friendly photo, your name and one or two sentences about who you help. Or open Edit with AI and type what you want, like "make my intro warmer".
💡 Tip: A real photo of you or your team builds trust faster than a logo.
- 5
List your practice areas
Open Offerings and add each practice area: what kind of matters it covers and who it helps. A visitor should know in ten seconds whether you handle their kind of case.
💡 Tip: Use the words clients use: "divorce" and "tenancy disputes", not just statute names.
- 6
Teach your AI agent
Open AI and add notes with the facts visitors ask about: hours, prices, location, what to bring. Your AI agent answers only from these notes. When it doesn't know, it offers to pass the visitor's details to you.
💡 Tip: Add your fees structure and consultation process: clients ask about cost first.
- 7
Get every request in one inbox
When someone presses "Free consultation" or leaves their details with your AI agent, it arrives in Leads and in your email. Reply from your phone, no app needed.
💡 Tip: Turn on email alerts so you never miss a new lead.
- 8
Publish and share your link
Press Publish when it looks right. Share your link on your social profiles and in your email signature, and print your QR code for your card, door or counter. Add your own domain on a paid plan.
💡 Tip: Put the QR code where people wait: reception, a menu or a business card.

What it does for your business
Your website is often the first meeting with a client. A clear, calm site filters out matters you don't handle, brings in better-prepared consultation requests and makes a small firm look as established as a large one.

06 —Questions
Questions, answered
Will the AI give legal advice?
No. Lawyer sites are set up so the AI agent answers questions about your firm only, and directs anything legal to a consultation.
Is it confidential?
Forms remind visitors not to share sensitive details until you've agreed to act. Requests go only to you.
Can I list several lawyers?
Yes: describe your team on the About page. For a page per lawyer, talk to us about organization plans.
Do I need a designer?
No. The template is ready; you change the words and photos.
