Cruz Guillén Abogados: web design for an online law firm

The project

Cruz Guillén Abogados is an online law firm specialising in immigration law, with other practice areas such as criminal law. Because it works remotely, its website is both its office and its shop window: it is where the client decides whether to trust it and how to get in touch.

We designed a professional, functional website that adapts to all devices, with a dark, sober aesthetic that conveys seriousness. The home page opens with a powerful image —a judge's gavel— and a clear message for each practice area, next to an enquiry button, and is accompanied by the lawyer's picture to humanise the firm.

The challenge

To convey trust within a few seconds to people who come with doubts and often with urgency, and to make the first contact easy without making them travel or call blindly.

What we did

• Professional, sober web design. A dark, elegant and orderly aesthetic, in keeping with the seriousness expected of a law firm.
• Structure by practice area. Content organised so each visitor finds their case —immigration, criminal law— straight away.
• Visible ways to get in touch. Enquiry button and WhatsApp in view on the home page, because in an online firm the first contact is everything.
• A human presence. A professional photograph of the lawyer, so the client knows who they will be talking to even without an in-person visit.
• Design that adapts to every device. A functional website that looks good on mobile, the device from which many people make their first enquiry.

A law firm's website: trust and the first enquiry

People looking for a lawyer usually do so in a hurry and with worry. Within seconds they decide whether the firm inspires confidence. A clear website, with well-explained practice areas, visible contact details and a careful design, makes the first contact much more likely.

In an online firm this matters even more, because the website replaces the physical office. Specific content for each area, a prominent enquiry form or button and a blog with answers to real questions also help rank specific searches over time. You can see how we approach it in our web design for lawyers service and in local SEO.

How we approach a project like this

1. Getting to know the firm

   We talk about the practice areas, the type of client and how the firm wants to present itself.

2. Structure and texts

   We define the pages by specialty and review the content with you.

3. Design and development

   We build a sober, fast, mobile-friendly website.

4. Launch and SEO

   We publish with local SEO set-up and the Google listing prepared.

What we delivered

A law firm website ready to attract enquiries, with responsive design, structure by practice area and visible contact details.

Who is this type of project for?
