Most law firms think that they own and control their websites. They don't.
The illusion is usually shattered when the firm tries to switch SEO or marketing vendors, and all hell breaks loose. Files are held hostage. Access is denied. Technical gibberish, proprietary platforms, and outright obstruction are all used to prolong and derail what should be a straightfoward process.
It doesn't have to be like this. With LegalMark Managed Hosting, you can seamlessly transition from one vendor to another, with the peace of mind that you're in control. It's the right way to run your website.
Checked every minute, because downtime = lost clients.
Limited login attempts, intelligent IP blocking, and malware scanning.
Free from the limitations and risks of shared hosting. Tuned for WordPress.
Visitors receive files from the server closest to them, so it's incredibly fast.
24/7 support by a team of proactive, experienced web professionals.
Domain registration monitoring, page speed monitoring, and more to come.
30,000 websites are hacked every day and many website owners don't even know. Hackers use automated tools and target websites of all sizes, preferring that their attacks go undetected, so that they can continue to exploit your site. We'll set your site up with multiple layers of enterprise level security, to keep the bad guys out.
There's no excuse for a slow website. Not only do slow websites convert fewer clients, they also rank lower in Google. You need the performance of a Dedicated Virtual Machine. Along with blazing fast servers and intelligent caching, we include page speed monitoring for your website, to ensure that it's always performing at its best.
You wouldn't have an engineer do your marketing; why are marketers handling your hosting? We monitor your website 24/7 for uptime, speed, and even your domain name registration status. We handle backups, caching, security, SSL certificates, and other techy things you shouldn't have to worry about. If there is ever an issue, our team of engineers is here, ready to resolve it quickly.
We've worked with law firms for a long time and have seen far too many fall victim to poor planning and unscrupulous vendors.
Situations like these are why we created LegalMark Managed Hosting.
There's a lot of work that goes into correctly hosting a website: server upgrades and maintenance, security, monitoring, backups, WordPress updates, patches, support, etc. Most law firms don't know this or are under the misconception that their marketing company is qualified to handle these matters. As a result, their websites suffer and they put themselves at risk for more disasterous consequences.
At its simplest, LegalMark Managed Hosting means that we handle all the technical aspects of your website hosting, ensuring that everything is configured and running smoothly. But it's more than just that. When you host with LegalMark, we see you as a partner and our team of web professionals is 100% committed to the performance, stability, and security of your website.
25% of websites run on WordPress, and we think it's the best solution for small-to-midsize law firms.
Additionally, our exclusive focus on WordPress is one of the ways we ensure that we can provide a top level hosting solution at an affordable price point. There are any number of ways a law firm can set up its website, but we prefer to do one thing, and do it really well.
Of course! It wouldn't be managed hosting if we weren't here to help. If you're currently using WordPress, setting up your website with us should be a smooth and straightforward process. If you're not using WordPress, don't worry! While it might take a little longer, we can help migrate your website to WordPress as part of the setup process. In either case, our team will be there every step of the way.
We'll work with you to get some initial information about your website, and then the migration is handled entirely by our team of web professionals.
The first step is a thorough analysis of the site - you might liken it to a multi-point inspection. We use our web crawler to get a diagnostic report, document your website's current assets, and manually review your WordPress installation, plugins, and theme settings for any potential incompatibilities or misconfiguration. We pride ourselves on the speed, stability, and security of LegalMark Managed Hosting, and this process is absolutely essential for ensuring that quality.
We'll then configure a new hosting environment to meet the needs of your site, based on its size and traffic. A final review is performed after setting up a copy of your website on our demo/staging server, at which time we can seamlessly complete the migration. The one-time fee for this process is $1,200 (for current WordPress users). If you are using a different CMS or currently have a static website, the price will vary, based on the specifics of your situation.
Our goal is that after switching your website to LegalMark Managed Hosting, it will rank better than it did before. Obviously, we can't guarantee that, but we do take numerous steps to ensure the transition is smooth for users and search engines alike. These include performing complete website crawls thoughout the process, implementing 301 redirects if needed, and accounting for any existing tracking scripts, such as Google Analytics or Adwords. We also have a full-time SEO on staff who can help with the migration.
While the hosting and technical support infrastructure of large law firms can easily top $7,000/month, LegalMark Managed Hosting comes in at a fraction of the cost: $100/month (+one-time setup fee). By leveraging our knowledge and experience in the space, we're able to provide small-to-midsize firms the benefits of an enterprise hosting solution without the premium price tag.
Shared or vendor supplied hosting arrangements can be cheaper up front, but we've found that skimping on your website ends up costing far more than you save. Your website is the public face of your law firm. If it's worth doing, it's worth doing right.
