Florida Law Firm Website Design
Custom websites for Florida law firms, built around the practice and the people it needs to reach. See current work for a Miami litigation boutique, a Melbourne criminal defense practice, and a Tampa mediator.
A Florida law firm website should prove more than geography
Florida firms compete in several distinct markets at once. A Miami commercial litigation boutique, a Melbourne criminal defense practice, and a Tampa mediator do not need the same website, even though each needs a clear position, credible proof, and a direct path to contact.
Dan Gilroy Design builds custom WordPress websites for law firms nationwide. For Florida firms, the work starts with the actual practice, audience, referral network, and geographic reach. We do not treat the state name as a substitute for a useful strategy.
Florida is not one legal market
A useful Florida law firm website should make the firm’s market legible quickly. That may mean presenting complex commercial disputes to business decision-makers in Miami, organizing a broad criminal defense practice for people searching in Brevard County, or giving attorneys across the state a simple way to evaluate and schedule a mediator.
The structure follows the buyer. Business clients may need industry context, attorney experience, and a substantial insights library. Individuals facing an urgent legal problem need clear service information, location details, and a fast contact path. Referral-driven practices often need credentials and a focused explanation of fit more than a large volume of pages.
Positioning comes before location pages
A Florida page can support search visibility, but it cannot rescue a site that never explains what the firm does or why the right client should choose it. We establish the firm’s practice structure, audience, and evidence first. City and regional pages are added only when the firm serves those markets and has enough specific content to make each page useful.
Every project includes an on-page and technical SEO foundation: information architecture, titles and descriptions, internal linking, structured data, indexing readiness, and location structure where the content supports it. Ongoing link building, Google Business Profile management, paid campaigns, and other off-page work require a separate engagement with a specialist. No designer can guarantee a ranking position.
Florida advertising rules shape content decisions
Florida law firm websites are subject to the substantive lawyer advertising rules even though a firm’s own website is generally not required to be filed for review. The Florida Bar’s current website advertising checklist addresses required content, testimonials, past results, claims about skills or reputation, dramatizations, and disclosures.
We organize content so the firm can review those issues before launch, avoid unsupported guarantees or comparisons, and identify material that may need ethics counsel. Dan Gilroy Design does not provide legal advice, and the firm retains responsibility for final advertising compliance.

How a Florida law firm website project works
The written proposal sets the fee, responsibilities, and schedule after the site, content, identity, and review needs are clear.
Consultation and proposal
A Zoom conversation covers the firm, audience, practices, current site, content, identity, and business priorities. Dan then prepares a comprehensive written proposal.
Questionnaire and working brief
After the agreement and first payment, a focused questionnaire, existing materials, and stakeholder input establish the site structure and direction.
Coded initial website
The first presentation is a complete, password-protected website. Design, content, navigation, and responsive behavior are reviewed in context.
Refinement, QA, and launch
The firm reviews the working site, agreed revisions and content are completed, and final accessibility, device, search, and launch checks follow.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have to be based in Florida to design a Florida law firm website?
No. Dan Gilroy Design works remotely with law firms nationwide and has completed current projects for firms and neutrals in Miami, Melbourne, and the Tampa area. The process uses Zoom, a focused questionnaire, a private working website, and direct review with Dan.
Can one website target several Florida cities?
Yes, when the firm genuinely serves those markets and has specific information for each one. We start with the main practice and office structure, then add city or regional pages only when they help a visitor and do not repeat thin location copy.
Do Florida law firm websites have to be filed with The Florida Bar?
A law firm’s own website is generally not required to be filed for review, but it must comply with the substantive advertising rules. Sponsored, boosted, or promoted online material can have different filing requirements. We flag content and presentation issues for the firm to review, but the firm and its counsel remain responsible for compliance.
Can you write the website content?
Every project includes content strategy, page responsibilities, framing copy, editing, migration, and utility copy. Original practice pages, attorney biographies, firm stories, and article libraries are scoped separately. The firm reviews and approves all substantive legal content before launch. See content strategy and writing for the full distinction.
What does a Florida law firm website cost?
There is no Florida surcharge and no fixed package. The written quote reflects the number and type of pages, content readiness, identity work, integrations, migration, and stakeholder review. The pricing page explains the main cost drivers and what every project includes.
