Law Firm Marketing BLOG

Many years ago, FLASH was the way to go.  If you had a website, you wanted it to move, play a movie, talk, and maybe even cook you dinner.  Today, this is just not the case.  Consumers want to find information quickly – without waiting through FLASH intros.  If you have one, it is time to put it to rest.  At a minimum, you definitely need to have the “skip intro” button.  However, ideally, just make the flash movie elements one part of your design (off to the side) where it can be appreciated for being innovative without wasting a surfer’s time.  Afterall, if a person doesn’t want to sit through it, they can always close out the website and go to another one (and that’s just giving business away).

If you’re looking to make your lawyer website design look great and still have the cutting-edge feel, it can absolutely be done.  But waiting for a long movie to load just is not it.

Though our clients may be great at using their legal-ese, they definitely can use a little help when it comes to the techno-babble of the Internet. 

Working in the IT (internet technology) department, I get to help our clients navigate through all the phrases that may not be familiar to them such as “what is FTP”  or ‘what is an MX record’  to the more familiar ‘how do I check my email online’ or ‘where do I go to register a domain name.”     

FTP or  “file transfer protocol” is the information we need when we update or design a firm’s website. It gives us access to the site so we can download and upload files quickly. 

An MX record refer to the Mail eXchange server’s IP address. We need this when we do not host a client’s email and will program this IP address into the site’s hosting configuration so that the emails go to the correct place. 

Depending on your hosting service, there should be an address where you can go and check your email online from any computer.  We provide this information to our clients to be sure that they have access to their emails anytime/anywhere. 

Registering a domain name is the first step to getting on the worldwide web.  We recommend godaddy.com but there are other registrars out there.  Shop around and compare pricing so you get the best name for your firm at the lowest price.
