Mission Statement
Attorney Café’s mission is to be the lowest priced, easiest-to-use,
legal
website builder on the internet for the legal community.
About AttorneyCafe.com
Formed in 2003, Attorney Café is designed to be an online software
system that enables you to create your own law
website without requiring any previous programming experience. Using your
browser, you can create professional looking law
websites at a fraction of the cost that is needed by a company to have the
same level of inbuilt functionality. You can make unlimited modifications at
anytime from anywhere and all the changes will be implemented instantaneously
on your legal
website.
Our Thinking
Return on Investment: Too many solo and small sized law
firms have no presence on the internet because the cost of hiring a web
developing team does not offer an attractive return on investment. A simple
5 page legal
website normally costs around $500 which does not even include a database.
More elaborate law firm
websites can cost you a couple thousand of dollars. With Attorney Café,
6 pages is just the start and you can add many more sub-links. Then you can even
add sub-links to the already existing sub-links, thereby creating sub-sub-links
which can give you a total of 258 pages for your website. This does not even
take into consideration the time taken to design the legal
website or the initial set up fees that some companies charge. Again, an Attorney
Café website for as little as $99 per month gives you great value for money.
Ease of Use: Assuming you pay the $500 for your law
website, what happens when you want to make an update to the site? You are
at the developers’ mercy when it comes to making changes to your legal
website once it is uploaded to the web. Attorney Café offers you
a Free Site Manager, so when you have an important announcement to make, there
is no waiting around to get the developer to make the change, you can do it
all yourself in a snap. Basically, if you know how to use Microsoft Word or
WordPerfect then you can use the Site Manager … it’s that easy.
Image: It is a marketing rule of thumb that you have 15 seconds
to make an impression on a potential client. Normally, an attorney will offer
a business card with relevant contact information, but, too many solo
and small sized law
firms have general email addresses, such as joesmithlaw@aol.com or joesmithlaw@hotmail.com.
With Attorney Café, you can now have your own domain
name, alongside an email address with the same domain name, i.e. www.joesmithlaw.com and the email address is
jsmith@joesmithlaw.com. This conveys a more professional image on your behalf.
Communication: When was the last time you
made contact with a client you provided services over two
years ago? You probably never have. Attorneys are way
too busy handling the day to day grind of their existing case
load, and do not leave enough much time to nurture the value of their
existing client base. Too often thousands of dollars are spent
on advertising costs when your best advertisement is your
existing client base. With Attorney Café, you automatically
get a Client Database, Newsletter Feature, and a Poll Feature
to help you keep in contact with your clients more efficiently. You
can keep them updated on new developments in your specific
practice area, or simply send them a greeting to wish them well.
Keeping your name and practice fresh in the minds of all your
clients will generate more business than the thousands of dollars spent
on advertising.
