How much time have you wasted emailing clients back and forth to set up meeting times?
You can automate this by using online scheduling.
It will help you save time and get more clients.
Online scheduling is software that allows people to schedule a time to have a meeting, phone call or video call with you.
The best part?
We can set it up for you.
Easy scheduling: Anyone with the calendar link can schedule an appointment with you online. They can choose an available time, and you can set how long each appointment will be. Clients love it.
Set your availability: If you want to do meetings and take calls only during certain times of the day or on certain days of the week, you can set an availability window. People will not be able to set appointments outside of that window.
Calendar sync: You can sync your online calendar with existing calendars. So you don’t have schedule clashes. If you have time blocked out in your existing calendar, people will not be able to schedule appointments with you during that time.
Multiple appointment types: You can set up different types of appointments for different purposes. One type for your current clients, one type for potential new clients, etc. You can set different appointment lengths and availability windows for each type of appointment.
Put it on your website: You can set up a “schedule consultation” button on your website. Potential new clients on your website can click the button and schedule a meeting time that suits them. Potential new clients love it.

We usually do the copywriting.
It’s just easier for our clients.
But if you want to be involved, that’s totally fine.
Most importantly, our copywriting is appealing to Google and humans.
This means it’s SEO-friendly and enjoyable to read.
Let’s talk about leads –
Do you want people calling you? Booking an appointment? Sending a message?
We’ll discuss this with you and build an effective lead generation system based on your needs.
This includes:
We can help you get clients in any location that you choose.
How?
Location landing pages.
Our websites are responsive. What does this mean? They look great on ALL devices. Computer, Tablet and Mobile.
Most websites receive more than 50% of new traffic on mobile. So, it’s arguably more important than desktop.
What pages should most law firms have?
What pages should a law firm website include?
This is an important Google ranking factor. In fact, research suggests more 50% of people leave a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load.
We’ll listen to your ideas, challenges and dreams. This will form the basis of our work. It’s YOUR project. Expect something special. Not some dull, lifeless, ‘cookie-cutter’ website. Our work is hand-crafted for Aussie and NZ law firms.
Your new Legalsites website will help you build brand awareness.
We’ll use our experience to guide you through the project. Expect well-written emails and responsive communication. We’ll guide you through every step of the way. After all, every project needs a leader.
We’ll build your new website on a private URL. This means you can see what we’re doing – before anyone else does. Google won’t ‘crawl’ this private link. In other words, it won’t show up in search results.
Edit and update your own website (if you want to). How? We use the #1 wordpress site builder ‘Elementor’. No coding required. Most people with a basic ability with computers can do it.
Site migration (i.e. removing your old website and launching your NEW website onto your web address)
How do people find your website? What pages do they use? Which search queries are most profitable?
We’ll ensure you can easily access this information.
Our websites are designed to convert clients from organic and paid Google clicks.
Our websites include high quality copywriting.
This informs your audience and keeps Google happy.
You’ll be guided through the copywriting process.
Say goodbye to cheesy stock photography.
We only use premium images.
We can easily add videos to your website. Just send us the link.
We can include a News/Blog page.
We recommend linking to your social media channels in the footer and contact page.
It’s generally not a good idea to make these links highly visible (e.g. in the header or hero sections).
That’s because it could encourage people to leave your website before they have contacted your law firm.
Once they’re on social media, they might get distracted and never return.

If your website was built on a different CMS, our web developer will ensure a smooth and easy migration.
