About Us · Since 2005
We Built This Because Lawyers Were Being Overcharged
AWebsiteForLawyers.com was founded on a simple premise — solo practitioners and small law firms deserve professional websites at prices that make business sense.
The Story Behind the Service
In 2005, web designer Matt Schaefer noticed something that didn't sit right: lawyers and attorneys were paying roughly five times more for a website than typical business clients — not because the work was five times harder, but because no one had built an affordable, transparent alternative specifically for the legal market ruled by big law directory firms.
Law firms were spending thousands with web designers and directory listing services, only to find they weren't appearing on Google. Billing was opaque. Response times were slow. Small changes took weeks. Many attorneys simply felt ignored by their web services providers — paying monthly fees that exceeded industry standards by ten times, with little to show for it.
Matt decided to do something about it. He founded AWebsiteForLawyers.com on a straightforward premise: solo practitioners and small law firms deserve professional, effective websites at prices that make business sense.
Who We Are
AWebsiteForLawyers.com is a U.S.-based team of web designers, SEO specialists, and content writers who work exclusively in the legal market. Led by Matt Schaefer, our team has spent over 20 years focused on one thing: helping attorneys and small law firms get found online, convert visitors into consultations, and compete with larger firms without the overhead of a big agency.
We work with solo practitioners and small firms across the United States — immigration lawyers, bankruptcy attorneys, personal injury firms, estate planning practices, family law attorneys, and general practitioners — each with different needs, budgets, and markets. What every client shares is the same core requirement: a professional website that works, maintained by a team that actually responds.
What We Believe
01
Transparency Matters
What you see is what you pay. No surprise fees, no monthly retainers that quietly inflate, no billing for services you never asked for.
02
You Own Your Website
Every site we build belongs to you — on WordPress, fully portable, with no lock-in if you ever need to move.
03
Response Time Is a Service
Attorneys who've worked with other providers consistently report the same frustrations: slow responses and weeks of waiting for small changes. We built AWebsiteForLawyers around the opposite approach — fast turnaround, direct communication, and personal accountability on every project.
04
Affordable Doesn't Mean Basic
Every package includes custom design, secure hosting, built-in SEO, mobile-friendly layout with tap-to-call, and a Google Business Listing. Not as add-ons — as standard.
