    WordPress Attorney Websites – The Benefits of WordPress for

    Law Firms

    All law firm websites should be built on a content management system (CMS) platform.  A CMS platform allows website owners to easily and quickly make website changes (such as adding new practice area pages and attorney profile pages).  Usually no html coding knowledge is required. Those with basic computer skills (like knowing how to use Microsoft Word) can easily manage websites with dozens or even hundreds of pages of content.

    What CMS platform is the best for our law firm clients?

    At Esquire Interactive, everything we do is based on the best interests of our clients.  Period.

    In considering the best CMS platform for our clients we had two choices.  We could build our own CMS platform like our competitors, or we could develop websites on an Open-Source CMS that has been developed and tested by top developers around the world, used in millions of websites and blogs, and is free for our clients.

    An Open-Source CMS was clearly the better alternative for our clients.  And, after evaluating several Open-Source platforms, WordPress emerged as the best option for our clients. Here’s why:

    • wordpress used by major companiesIt’s been built, tested, and is continuously improved upon by top developers all over the world
    • It’s free – there are no license fees
    • It’s used by top companies, universities, and organizations – over 50 million sites are powered by WordPress
    • There are more than 17,000 plugins that have been developed for WordPress which have been downloaded more than 250 million times.  These plugins include those for Google Analytics, video, e-newsletters, search engine friendly link building, slide-shows, and more
    • Virtually any type of website functionality desired can be included on a WordPress site.

    What you need to know in selecting a developer and a closed-source CMS platform

    A Closed Source platform may be thought of as one controlled entirely by one developer with no outsider development allowed.  There typically are no or few plugins, and no outside development community contributions.

    In most cases, the developer will require you to host your website with them.  The monthly required fees are typically high – often starting at $600 or more for a very simple website for a solo attorney (more than $21,000 for three years).   The monthly fee typically increases depending upon the number of firm attorneys.

    Why WordPress is becoming the CMS of choice for law firms – How you win

    EI Development on WordPress

    The Other Guys
    Ongoing License Fees None. Usually high ongoing fees
    Number of Plugins/Applications Developed for Platform Thousands. Usually None. Developer chooses functionality – you deal with it.
    Cost of Plugins/Applications Most are completely free, some have a very minimal cost. If additional functionality is desired, client must pay developer to develop additional functionality. Development can be costly.
    Hosting Company Choices Us, you, or thousands of hosting companies to choose from. Must host with developer company.
    Hosting Prices Cheap and Competitive. Determined by developer – no option to select hosting company. Hosting usually tied to monthly license fee.
    Can I Take my Website with me? Of course – it’s yours. Probably not. The thousands of dollars paid to the other company are gone – you will need to have a new website developed.
