MasurLaw.com – exemplary law firm website

Steven Masur, the managing partner of MasurLaw.com, recently left a comment on a post – which led me to his the firm website.  I think that in many respects, the Masur firm website sets benchmarks. It’s easy to navigate, makes it clear to startup clients that the firm is sets standard (flat) fees for certain startup tasks, as well as making it clear that they’ve worked for clients great and small.

Nor does the firm itself pretend to be bigger than it is – the site’s effect is thus both strong and clear; navigation is nicely set up and consistent. If you’re thinking about constructing a site for any professional practice, this might be a site to use as a starting point for design criteria.

One thought – in listing prior clients and projects – many are readily  identifiable – at least to me – for instance, the Alvin Ailey dance company – but others were not. So perhaps a link – or rollover copy – would make the intended point more readily.

 

Ellen Victor/The Victor Law Firm: excellent website with multiple blogs

Ellen Victor, like many excellent lawyers has, probably by a mix of planning and happenstance, appears to have found herself practicing in several  areas, most with at least a little overlap, at once. Her outstanding website - The Victor Law Firm- helps prospective clients by permitting them to easily navigate between pages focusing on one practice area or another.  The practice areas are Special Needs clients; small business formation and planning; non-profit formation and planning; elder law and Medicaid and estate planning. Some of the practice area landing pages are set up as blog pages (I’m guessing the entire site runs on WordPress, but I’m not sure) with sensible, well-explained advice.

The double entendre of her surname – suggestive of “victory,” of course – probably adds to the site’s authoritative feel.

My other thought was that I liked the color combinations in the logo/identity graphic (reproduced above), but with the sole reservation that to reproduce the look in printed matter (letterhead, business cards) conflicts with my essentially miserly attitude about production costs.
