The #1 thing to remember when developing the graphic design for your firm’s site is to focus on what your clients want, not what you want. Put yourself in their shoes and picture what would impress you if you had just stumbled across the website and were looking for legal advice.Â
Avoid bells and whistles; a law firm is a professional organization and not a carnival. Everything should be based on user friendliness and search engine accessibility. JavaScript and Flash images do not look appealing to crawlers and directories, and they are slow to download for even broadband users.  Find a professional designer with an understanding of the effective use of color and white space; one who will create a consistent layout and design for the entire site.Â
Make sure the end result is easy to read, to navigate, and to locate in cyberspace. Â If you follow the KISS rule (Keep It Simple, Stupid), you will find yourself with a beautiful, professional, elegant site that will cater to the needs of your client and be very search engine friendly.
