Web design for
law firms in Pickering.
This page is the Pickering slice of a survey of 42 law firms — every listing on Google Maps, every website opened by hand. 1 of the 39 sites do not work on a phone.
Those 42 listings were checked one at a time. 3 of the 39 sites came through with nothing wrong; the rest had at least one of the problems above.
What they are built on
5 platforms,
no clear winner.
We identified 5 different platforms behind the 39 sites in Pickering. WordPress accounts for 18 of them. 1 sit on a free or entry-level builder — a fair reading of how much the business has put into being found. 1 are still served by software discontinued years ago.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 19 of them.
We recorded every fault we could see on the 39 Pickering sites. The one that turns up most is no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does — 19 of them. Next is page title does not name the city they work in on 18, then no enquiry form anywhere on the site on 16.
A site here that fixes no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does alone is already ahead of 19 local competitors on that count. That is the whole argument for doing the dull parts first.
Who you are up against
99 reviews
from the top five.
The five most-reviewed law firms in Pickering hold 232, 165, 134, 126, 124. The middle of the field sits at 25, the lower quarter below 3 and the upper quarter above 47. 5 of the 42 are past 100 reviews and 24 hold a rating of 4.9 or better.

What this means for you
90% of Pickering sites
are technically fine.
Law firms in Pickering are in better shape than most trades we surveyed — 90% of the 39 sites are secure and work on a phone. Across the GTA the same field sits at 2% with no mobile version; Pickering is at 3%, near enough the same. Standing out in a market like this takes more than being technically correct: it takes saying something the other 38 sites do not.
The 3 law firms in Pickering with no site at all start at $590; a practice replacing something older sits higher. Either way it is paid after delivery, not before. Full pricing.
