Most website designers and owners care how their websites look. After all, an attractive website is much nicer to look at than one that is boring or even ugly. However, most people realize that looks aren’t everything in web design and that functionality is almost always more important to a websites overall success. Take attorneys for example. Most legal websites, while concerned with their overall look, are for more concerned with the information offered and the message they portray. After all, the goal is to draw more customers. However, as it turns out, maybe attorneys should pay a little more attention to the color scheme of their websites.
If you’ve visited a few legal websites lately, then you might’ve noticed that many of them have a very similar feel. Legal websites from all over the country and from all practice areas tend to take on a very familiar look: a gray or white background with a touch of color, usually blue. Of course, this is a safe way to play it, since most other legal websites will have the same general look and feel. However. Not every attorney offers the same kinds of services. That means you could be missing out on connecting with the target audience, or clientele base you’re seeking by sticking to the standard color scheme.
What you really need to do in order to choose the right colors for your legal website is to determine what your market is seeking from you and what message the colors you choose are sending. To determine the first answer, consider the image you want to convey: stability, tenacity, knowledge, experience, assurance, etc. As for the second, you must consider what emotion and response you are trying to obtain from your target audience. Each color is associated with different emotions, so you should choose the right colors for the type of response you desire.
