Quality checklist
Mistakes to avoid
- !Using generic imagery or vague claims instead of showing named practice area and professional credentials and one focused offer.
- !Trying to speak to every possible audience instead of prioritising individuals and businesses seeking legal guidance.
- !Using decorative elements that compete with named practice area and professional credentials and the main call to action.
- !Publishing placeholder contact information or an offer without clear terms.
Avoid guaranteed case outcomes, superiority claims, or wording that creates an unintended professional relationship.
