Web hosting for lawyers and law firms
A website clients find when they search, trust when they read, and can call in one tap. Build it with ChatGPT or Claude using the prompts on this page, put it live on yourfirm.com, add the disclaimer your bar council expects, and let Fylo keep it fast and readable for Google and AI assistants.
What is web hosting for lawyers?
Web hosting for lawyers puts your practice website online at an address you control, such as mehralaw.com or yourfirm.in, so a prospective client can check your enrolment and qualifications, see which matters you take and which courts you appear in, find your office and hours, and call, message or request a consultation in one tap.
On Fylo.Host you upload the site (an HTML file, a ZIP, a folder, or the code ChatGPT or Claude wrote from one of the prompts below), connect your domain, and it is served from Cloudflare’s edge in 330+ cities with free SSL. Fylo adds a legal guides blog with SEO + GEO files that search engines and AI assistants read, and the tools a working practice needs: a QR code for your card, consultation request forms, and maps that load only when tapped.
Keep your directory profile and Google Business Profile. Your website is the page they both link to, and the only one of the three where you write every word.

Every new client looks you up before they call
Referrals, search and AI assistants all end at the same place: a screen where someone decides whether to trust you with their matter. Your website is what that screen shows.
The referral
“My cousin said to call Advocate Mehra.”
They search your name before dialling. With a directory profile only, they see a few lines next to lawyers who paid for placement.
With your site, they see your qualifications, enrolment number, the courts you appear in and a photo of your office, and the number they were given matches the one on screen.
What the page needs: a page that ranks first for your own name, with your credentials on it.
The search
“divorce lawyer near me”
Google shows the map pack, then pages that match the words. With a map listing only, you are one pin among many, if your listing is complete.
With your site, a page titled for the practice area and the city can be found directly, and it links back to your Business Profile.
What the page needs: one page per practice area, the city in each title, matching name, address and phone everywhere.
The AI question
“Who handles tenant eviction cases in Jaipur and speaks Hindi?”
ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity answer from pages they can read and cite. Without a site, there is nothing to cite.
With your site, a clearly written practice-area page with your name, city and languages is exactly what an assistant quotes.
What the page needs: plain sentences that say who, what, where and in which languages, plus LegalService schema.
Assistants can only recommend what they can read. A credentialed, plainly written law firm website is easy to read.
What a law firm website needs
Sixteen things clients, bar councils and search engines look for, in four groups. On a small practice site most of them are sections of one page; every prompt below builds all of them.
Exhibit A: credentials
Why a stranger should trust you
- Name, degrees, enrolment or bar numberOn the home page and the about page, with your bar council or state bar
/about - Courts and jurisdictionsHigh Court, district courts, tribunals, or the states where you are admitted
- Real photosYou, your partners and your office, not stock
- Memberships and rolesBar association, panel counsel, notary, mediator, arbitrator
Exhibit B: practice areas
In the words clients use
- A page per practice area“Cheque bounce case” before “Section 138 NI Act”
/practice-areas - The city in each title“Property lawyer in Jaipur”
- What happens firstDocuments to bring, typical timeline, who you work with
- Legal guides with author biosAuthor, review date, no advice for one person’s case
/guides
Exhibit C: contact
One tap from any phone
- Call, WhatsApp and email buttonsA sticky bar on mobile
- Office hours and a landmarkNear the court, the metro, the market
- Consultation request formName, phone, area of law, preferred time. No confidential details.
/#consult - Fees policyConsultation fee, how matters are billed, what a first meeting costs
/fees
Exhibit D: compliance
What your bar expects
- The disclaimer your jurisdiction requiresBar council notice, Attorney Advertising, regulator line
#kit - No legal advice, no relationshipGeneral information only; contact does not create a lawyer-client relationship
- Confidentiality warning on the formSend nothing confidential before a conflict check
- Privacy noticeWhat the form collects, why, and for how long
/privacy
Law firm websites are regulated. The prompts respect that.
Bar councils, state bars and regulators all restrict how lawyers present themselves online, and search engines hold legal pages to a higher standard than most. The prompts on this page are written so the AI stays inside those lines by default.
What the prompts put in
- Your qualifications and enrolment or bar number on the home page and the about page.
- Plain facts: practice areas, courts, offices, hours, languages, fees policy and how to reach you.
- The disclaimer your jurisdiction expects, from a one-time notice in India to an Attorney Advertising line in the US.
- A no-legal-advice and no-relationship statement in the footer of every page.
- A confidentiality warning on the consultation form and a privacy notice it links to.
- An author and a review date on every legal guide.
What the prompts leave out
- Guarantees and superlatives such as “best lawyer in the city”, “guaranteed bail” or “100% success”.
- “Specialist” or “expert” claims unless a certifying body allows you to use them.
- Client testimonials and case results where your bar prohibits them, and anywhere without the required disclaimer.
- Comparisons with named lawyers and anything that reads as soliciting a particular person.
- Form fields for case facts, documents or other parties’ names.
- Review or rating markup in the structured data.
INBar Council of India
Rule 36 of the BCI Rules prohibits advertising and solicitation. Its 2008 amendment permits a website carrying name, address, phone, email, enrolment details, qualifications and areas of practice. Most firms add a one-time notice that the visitor is seeking the information voluntarily.
USState bars, ABA Model Rules 7.1 to 7.3
No false or misleading statements, limits on specialist claims and on solicitation. Several states require the words Attorney Advertising and a note that prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome.
UKSRA and BSB
Regulated firms state their regulator and number, publish the price and service information the SRA Transparency Rules list, and show complaints information. Barristers follow the BSB Handbook.
Rules change and differ by state, council and regulator. Check yours before you publish. This page is general information, not legal advice.
Your bar disclaimer and firm schema, written for you
Pick where you practise and fill in your firm. The kit writes two things: the disclaimer notice your jurisdiction expects (for India, the one-time notice visitors accept before the site opens; for the US and UK, a footer block), and the LegalService structured data that tells Google and AI assistants your practice areas, office and hours. Paste the disclaimer where it says, and the schema before </head>. It runs in your browser; nothing is sent anywhere.
It is a first draft
Read it against your council’s or state bar’s current wording and edit. Some states and bars prescribe exact text; use theirs.
Match your Business Profile
Use exactly the name, address, phone and hours on your Google Business Profile. Differences make search engines less sure which is right.
Test, then keep it current
Check the live page in Google’s Rich Results Test or the Schema Markup Validator. When your hours or offices change, update the page and this code together.
Prompts that build a lawyer or law firm website
Pick your kind of practice, replace the [placeholders] with your details, and paste the prompt into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any AI builder. Each one returns a fast, SEO-ready site with your credentials, practice areas, offices, the disclaimers your jurisdiction expects and a consultation form that asks for nothing confidential, ready to upload to Fylo as it is.

Technical and compliance requirements added to every prompt when you copy it
Technical and compliance requirements:
- Output index.html and every extra page I asked for as complete files, with all CSS in a <style> tag and only a little vanilla JavaScript. No frameworks, no build step, no external libraries.
- Mobile-first and responsive from 360px wide. On phones, add a sticky bottom bar with Call, WhatsApp and Email buttons. Tap targets at least 44px.
- Accessible: semantic HTML, one H1 per page, alt text on every image, visible focus styles, AA colour contrast, an 18px base font, and no autoplay audio or video.
- Fast: a system font stack or at most one web font with font-display: swap, width and height on every image, and loading="lazy" on images below the first screen. Don't add srcset; my host generates image sizes.
- Maps and videos: never load a Google Maps or YouTube iframe when the page opens. Show a static image with a button and insert the iframe only after a click. Always include a plain "Get directions" link to Google Maps.
- Contact: phone numbers as tel: links with the country code, WhatsApp as a wa.me link, email as a mailto: link, and the full address as text, never only inside an image or map.
- Consultation request form: a standard HTML <form> with method="POST" and a name attribute on every field. Ask only for name, phone, email, area of law (dropdown), preferred time, and one optional line "What is this about?" with a 120-character limit. Add a required consent checkbox that links to privacy.html. Do NOT add file uploads or fields for case facts, documents or the names of other parties. Above the button, write: "Please do not send confidential details, documents or the names of other parties until we have confirmed there is no conflict of interest and agreed to act. Information sent before then may not be protected."
- Disclaimers for [JURISDICTION]:
- India: a one-time notice that appears before the site is shown, stating that the Bar Council of India does not permit advertising or solicitation, that this site is not an advertisement, that the visitor is seeking information of their own accord, that nothing here is legal advice and that no lawyer-client relationship is created, with "I agree" and "Leave" buttons; remember the choice in localStorage. Keep the site readable without JavaScript.
- United States: the words "Attorney Advertising" in the footer, "Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome", and a statement that contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship.
- England and Wales: the regulator and registration number in the footer, a link to the complaints procedure, and the price and service information the SRA Transparency Rules require, marked [CHECK].
- Other: a general-information and no-relationship statement; mark [CHECK] for local rules.
- Content rules: no guarantees of outcomes, no superlatives such as "best", "top" or "No. 1", no "specialist" or "expert" claims unless I confirm a certification, no client testimonials, no case results, no client names, and no comparisons with other lawyers. Every legal guide shows the author with qualifications, a "Last reviewed" date and the line "General information, not legal advice." Mark any legal statement I must check with [CHECK].
- Every page footer: the enrolment or bar number, the regulator or bar council, a short disclaimer ("Information on this website is general and is not legal advice. Contacting us does not create a lawyer-client relationship."), and the privacy and disclaimer links.
- SEO: a title under 60 characters with the lawyer or firm name, practice area and city; a meta description under 160 characters; Open Graph and Twitter card tags; a canonical link to https://[yourdomain.com]/.
- Structured data (JSON-LD): the practice as LegalService (or Attorney for an individual) with name, url, image, telephone, address as a PostalAddress, geo, openingHoursSpecification, areaServed, knowsLanguage, knowsAbout for the practice areas, and sameAs links to my Google Business Profile and directory profiles. Each lawyer as Attorney with name, jobTitle, alumniOf and worksFor. Guides as Article with author and dateModified. FAQPage for any FAQ. No review or rating markup.
- Use relative links and paths such as images/portrait.webp so the site works on any domain.
- Mark every piece of placeholder text I still need to replace with [EDIT].
- Give me each file in its own code block, then list the photos I need with file names and sizes (portrait 800 x 1000, office photos at least 1600px wide, map preview 1200 x 600).
Size check: a six-page firm site with eight WebP photos is usually 2 to 4 MB, well inside the free plan’s 10 MB.
Prompts for the next step
Paste these into the same chat once the first version is ready.
Write your bio
Clients read it before they call.
Ask me 10 questions about my education, enrolment, the courts I appear in, the matters I take most often, the languages I speak and how I work with clients, one at a time. Then write a 60-word and a 200-word bio in the third person, in plain language, with no superlatives, no "specialist" or "expert" claims and no case results, and an Attorney JSON-LD block with my qualifications and worksFor.
Practice-area page
One per matter type, in client words.
Create practice-areas/[slug].html in the same style for "[e.g. cheque bounce cases in Jaipur]". Explain who it is for, what usually happens step by step, the documents a client should gather, a timeline range marked [CHECK], and a 4-question FAQ. No outcomes promised, no results quoted. End with a request-a-consultation button and the standard footer.
Legal guide
Answers what clients search before they search for you.
Write an 800-word guide titled "[e.g. What to do when you receive a legal notice]". Start with a two-sentence answer, use H2 sections and short paragraphs, add a "When to get a lawyer involved" box and a 4-question FAQ, and cite [statutes or official sources]. Show me as author ([name, qualifications]) with "Last reviewed [date]" and the line "General information, not legal advice." Add Article JSON-LD. Mark any statement I must verify with [CHECK].
Add a language
For clients who read Hindi or a regional language.
Create a [Hindi / Marathi / Tamil / Bengali] version of index.html at /[hi]/index.html. Use the everyday words clients use for legal matters, with the English legal term in brackets where helpful. Keep names, enrolment numbers, phone numbers and fees unchanged, translate the disclaimer, add hreflang links on both versions, and add a language switch in the header.
New office or new hours
Keeps the page and Google in step.
We have [opened a new office at ADDRESS / changed hours to ...]. Add offices/[slug].html in the same style with its own LegalService JSON-LD, update the offices section and footer on every page, update openingHoursSpecification, and list every file you changed.
Compliance, SEO and speed check
A second pass catches the misses.
Review my site as a technical SEO reviewer and as a bar compliance reviewer for [jurisdiction]. Fix titles, meta descriptions, heading order, missing alt text, images without width and height, maps that load before a click, and invalid JSON-LD. List, but don't rewrite, any sentence that promises an outcome, uses a superlative, claims specialism, quotes a result or testimonial, or gives advice for one person's case. Confirm the form asks for nothing confidential and that the disclaimer appears where it should. Return the corrected files and a short list of changes.
Publish what the AI built
Three ways from the chat to a live site, none of which needs a server or a terminal. Put your photos in images/ next to index.html first.
Drop the folder
ZIP the folder, or drag it as it is, onto fylo.host. It is live on a free subdomain in seconds.
Paste the code
Copy a single-page site from the chat into the HTML to website converter, preview it, and publish.
Ask Claude
Add the Fylo.Host connector to Claude and say “publish this site to Fylo”. New offices and changed hours go live the same way.
How to build and host a law firm website for free
No agency retainer, no WordPress to patch, no monthly builder fee. From prompt to a link you can print on your visiting card.
Generate it with AI
Copy the prompt for your practice, fill in your details and jurisdiction, and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. Add real photos of you and the office.
Upload it to Fylo
Drop the folder on fylo.host. It goes live on a free subdomain with SSL, up to 10 MB on the free plan.
Make it yours
Connect yourfirm.com from the Starter plan, add the link to your Google Business Profile and directory profiles, and print the site’s QR code on your card.
The site works while you are in court
It answers the hours question, sends directions, and collects call-back requests for your clerk or reception, without anyone touching a server.
A QR code for your card
Every site has one in the site menu. Print it on visiting cards, letterheads and the office door so a client saves your hours and directions.
Fast in a court corridor
Served from 330+ edge cities, so it opens quickly on patchy mobile data. Paid plans add the edge cache, about 100ms to first byte.
Consultation requests
On Pro and Business, the request form the AI built just works: requests are emailed to you and listed in the dashboard, with a spam filter and maths captcha.
Maps that wait
In Performance, lazy-load iframes so an embedded Google Map loads only when it is tapped. Photos are converted to WebP.
Every office, one dashboard
A site per office, partner or practice group: 4 on Pro and 10 on Business, each with its own domain and analytics.
Broken link checker
Judgment links, bare acts and directory profiles move. Dead links are found after each upload and fixed in one click.
Be the lawyer Google lists and AI assistants cite
Clients now ask ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity “who handles property disputes in Jaipur?” as often as they type it into Google. GEO, generative engine optimization (also called AEO), is how those assistants read and cite your site. SEO is how Google ranks it. Here is the page that answers each kind of question.
Site and blog sitemaps
Every page and post with a last-modified date, ready to submit in Google Search Console.
llms.txt and robots.txt
A plain index AI assistants can read in one request, and a robots.txt that points to your sitemap.
Markdown copy of each post
Every guide is also served as clean Markdown at its URL + .md, the easiest format for an AI to quote.
Article, FAQ and Organization schema
Written on every blog post, with your firm name and logo set once in Settings.
Author bios on every post
Your photo, qualifications and enrolment beside each guide: the expertise signal legal pages need.
Your firm schema
Practice type, areas and hours come from the prompts or the kit above.
A legal guides blog
Clients search their problem before they search for a lawyer. A clear, general guide on your own domain answers the problem and ends with your hours and a request-a-consultation button.
- ✓Styled like your site: Match my site borrows your header, footer and colours
- ✓Blocks for legal content: FAQ, table of contents, callouts for deadlines, and a CTA button to your request form
- ✓Any major language: English, Hindi, Tamil, Bengali and more
- ✓Publish from Claude through the MCP connector
Every blog feature is on every plan; the free plan includes 10 posts. No host can promise rankings or AI citations, and legal pages are held to a higher standard. Fylo removes the technical reasons a site isn’t found; your pages still have to answer what clients ask, accurately and in your own name.
Start free. Upgrade when the practice grows.
Every plan includes the blog, SEO + GEO files, speed settings, the global edge network and free SSL. Paid plans add your own domain, the edge cache, more sites and forms.

Good to know before you start
Fylo hosts static websites. That’s why they’re fast and need no upkeep, and it means a few things work differently.
Not a case management system
Fylo is for your public website. Keep case files, client documents and correspondence in your practice management or document system, not in site forms.
No client portal or e-signature
Link to the tools you already use for document sharing and signing. Collect call-back requests with Fylo Forms on Pro and Business.
No email inboxes
Keep your registrar or email provider for office@yourfirm.com. Your site and email share the same domain.
No PHP or databases
WordPress itself doesn’t run here. HTML, CSS and JavaScript do, including plain HTML sites and anything AI builders make.
Questions lawyers ask
Something else? Email ravi@fylo.host; a person answers.
Do lawyers need a website if they are already on a lawyer directory and Google Maps?
Most clients check a lawyer before they call, even after a referral. A directory profile sits beside competing lawyers and a map listing holds a few lines. Your own website is the one place that shows your enrolment or bar number, your practice areas, the courts you appear in, your fees policy, your office hours and how to reach you, in your words and on your domain. Keep the directory profile and your Google Business Profile, and point both at your site.
Is there free web hosting for lawyers and law firms?
Yes. The Fylo.Host free plan includes 1 site, 10 MB of storage, 1,000 visits a month, a free subdomain, free SSL, a blog with 10 posts and SEO + GEO files, with no credit card. When you want yourfirm.com, the Starter plan adds your own domain.
Can an advocate in India have a website?
Yes, within limits. Rule 36 of the Bar Council of India Rules bars advocates from advertising or soliciting work, and its 2008 amendment allows a website that carries the advocate’s name, address, telephone number, email, enrolment number, date of enrolment, the state bar council, professional and academic qualifications, and areas of practice. Many firms add a one-time disclaimer notice that the visitor is seeking the information voluntarily and that nothing on the site is solicitation. The disclaimer kit on this page generates that notice. Check the current rules and your state bar council’s guidance before publishing.
What disclaimer should a law firm website have?
It depends on where you practise. In India, a notice that the site is not advertising or solicitation and that the visitor is accessing it of their own accord. In the United States, many state bars require the words Attorney Advertising, a statement that prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome, and a note that contacting the firm does not create an attorney-client relationship. In England and Wales, regulated firms state their regulator and registration number and publish the price and service information the SRA Transparency Rules require. Everywhere, say that the content is general information and not legal advice. The kit on this page writes a first draft for each of these.
How do I build a lawyer or law firm website with AI?
Copy the prompt for your kind of practice from this page, replace the placeholders with your details and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. It returns a complete, SEO-ready site with your credentials, practice areas, offices, a consultation request form that asks for no confidential details, and the disclaimers your jurisdiction expects. Add your photos, then upload the folder to Fylo.Host, paste single-page code into the HTML to website converter, or ask Claude to publish it through the Fylo.Host connector.
What should a lawyer's website include?
Your name, qualifications, enrolment or bar number and the courts or jurisdictions you practise in; a page for each practice area written in the words clients use; office addresses with hours and a directions link; one-tap call, WhatsApp and email buttons; how fees work; what to bring to a first meeting; a consultation request form that asks for no confidential details; a privacy notice; the disclaimer your bar requires; and a no-legal-advice statement. A legal guides blog with author bios helps clients and search engines alike.
Can clients send me case details through my website?
Keep the form to what reception needs for a call back: name, phone, email, the area of law and a preferred time, with a one-line description at most. Ask visitors not to send confidential details, documents or the names of other parties until a conflict check and an engagement are done; information sent before that may not be privileged. Fylo hosts your public website and is not a case management or document system, so collect documents through the secure channel you already use.
How do I rank for “lawyer near me” searches?
Claim and complete your Google Business Profile, keep the same firm name, address, phone number and hours on your website, and add LegalService structured data with your practice areas and opening hours, which you can generate on this page. Give each practice area its own page with the city in the title, add a page per office, and link your website from your Business Profile and directory profiles.
Will my firm show up in ChatGPT and Google AI answers?
No host can promise rankings or citations, and legal pages are held to a higher standard than most. Fylo removes the technical reasons a site is not found: fast pages from the edge, plus sitemaps, robots.txt, schema markup, an llms.txt and a Markdown copy of every blog post that help Google and AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity read and cite you. Your pages still need to say clearly who you are, what you practise, where you appear and how to contact you.
Can my law firm website be in Hindi or another language?
Yes. A static site can hold pages in any language, for example an English home page with a Hindi, Marathi or Tamil version, linked with hreflang tags. The Fylo blog supports major languages, and one of the follow-up prompts on this page creates a translated version of your site.
Can I run sites for several offices or partners?
Yes. Pro includes 4 sites and 4 custom domains and Business includes 10 of each, each with its own analytics. A firm with several offices can also keep one site with a page per office and a profile per partner, which keeps everything under one domain.
Do you put ads or your branding on my law firm site?
We never inject third-party ads, banners or popups. Free sites show a small Fylo badge, and it is removed on every paid plan. Your site is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, so you can download it and move it any time.
