For solo attorneys and small firms
Attorney website design in St. Louis and St. Charles County
Someone deciding whether to call you has your website open next to two other firms' sites. That comparison takes seconds and it happens before anyone reads a word about your experience. We build and host the site that comparison lands on, from here in St. Charles County.
What a small firm actually needs from its website
The right basics, done properly and kept running.
Credibility at a glance
Someone choosing between two estate attorneys will judge both websites in seconds. A clean, fast site that states your practice areas plainly does more for intake than any slogan.
Email on your own domain
A gmail.com address on a law firm business card undercuts everything else printed on it. Managed business email puts every attorney and assistant on your firm domain instead.
An intake form that works
Contact forms that silently drop submissions are more common than most owners realize, and for a firm every dropped inquiry is a matter that went somewhere else. It's worth knowing exactly where yours delivers, and worth testing it before you need it.
What you get, and what you keep
You can take it all with you
If you ever leave, we help you move your domain out and hand over an export of your site files. Plenty of firms have found out too late that a marketing vendor held both, and getting them back turned into a fight.
We don't run a lawyer directory
The big legal marketing vendors also run the directories that compete with your firm in the same search results. We sell you a website and nothing that ranks against it, so there is no version of this where our other product outranks yours.
Nothing for you to patch
Your site runs serverless on AWS. There is no WordPress installation quietly aging in the background, and no plugin updates falling to whoever is least busy that week.
Quick on a phone in a courthouse hallway
People look up attorneys from hallways and parking lots. Serverless hosting keeps the site fast on a mobile connection, which is where a slow page simply gets closed.
You review everything first
You see a working demo before anything goes live, and attorney review fits naturally into that step. Your firm stays in control of what it publishes.
Local, named support
When the firm needs a change, you contact the people who built the site. Update credits cover ongoing changes at the turnaround times our pricing page publishes for the Standard and Pro plans.
How it works
Demo first, live second, billed third. You're not paying for hosting until your site is actually up.
- 1
1. We talk about your practice
A short call about your practice areas, the matters you want more of, and what the site needs to do. No pitch deck.
- 2
2. We build and host a demo
You and anyone else at the firm review a working demo before launch. Content changes happen here, while they are cheap.
- 3
3. You go live, and billing starts
The one-time build fee plus your monthly plan, which runs $25 to $40 depending on what the firm needs. Domain, DNS, SSL and email are configured as part of the launch.

4. We keep it running
The firm practices law. We keep the website online and quick, with changes handled through update credits.
Questions law firms ask
If yours isn't here, call +1 (636) 362-6221 or email yourfriends@adamsdigital.com and you will reach a person, not a queue.
How much does a website cost for a small law firm?
A one-time build fee plus monthly hosting, both published on our pricing page rather than quoted only after a call. Starter is $499 to build and $25 a month, Standard is $1199 and $30, and Pro is $1499 and $40. Annual payment earns a discount. Starter is a single page, so most firms that want practice-area pages and attorney bios are looking at Standard or Pro.
Do you work with solo attorneys, or only larger firms?
Solo and small firms are who this is built for. A single-attorney practice and a four-attorney partnership need the same things from a website, and neither one has somebody in the building whose job is the website.
What should a small law firm have on its website?
Practice areas in plain language, who the attorneys are, how to reach you, and where you practice. Clients hire a person, so a real photo and a direct paragraph beat stock imagery of gavels every time.
What happens to our website and domain if we leave?
You go, and they go with you. We help you move your domain out and give you an export of your site files to take to any compatible service. Some stock images get stripped on the way out for licensing reasons, and we'd rather say that up front than have you find it later. Plenty of firms have discovered the hard way that a previous marketing vendor held the domain and wouldn't release it.
Who is responsible for attorney advertising compliance?
You are, and the process is built so that stays practical. Your content is yours, and attorney review fits naturally into the demo step, so nothing goes live before the firm has signed off on the wording. We build the site. You remain the authority on what your bar requires it to say.
Can you set up email for several attorneys and staff?
Yes. Managed business email is $6 per user per month on your firm domain. Adding an associate or an assistant later is a quick request rather than a project.
We already have a website. Can you take it over?
Usually, yes. Transferring your domain in costs the same as registering a new one, with no transfer fee on our side. Tell us what you are on now and we will tell you honestly what moving it involves.
Where does website accessibility fit in?
Firms hear about ADA demand letters and reasonably want to know where they stand. We publish an accessibility statement covering this site, which names the standard it's built to and how to report a problem with it. We don't sell accessibility as a separate package, so if it matters to your firm, raise it when we talk and we'll be straight with you about what we can and can't do.
Why not just use a website builder?
A builder site is one more thing the firm has to maintain, and it tends to look like one. Here the site is built and looked after by the same local people, and your time stays billable.
