Let’s Pretend that this is True:
Ok, nobody would hire you just because of your nice looking suit either. Would you hire a lawyer who just wears old, dirty t-shirts? No.
The truth is that your website is part of your reputation. If your site is old, clunky, outdated, and hard to navigate, it says something about your firm. Perhaps it says that you rest on your reputation and do sloppy work? Perhaps it says you are behind the times and inefficient.
Even if you don’t think a website will help your bottom line, would you choose to put an old website into world.
You could say that nobody is going to hire you JUST on your reputation. Other factors can help or hinder.
Let’s Just Entertain the Possibility that a Website Could bring in Business
Yes, believe it or not, people do look stuff up on the Internet. It’s a very 21st century idea, but it happens.
What if there is an equally successful law firm who’s site comes up before yours. Perhaps they updated their site. That will give them an edge. In other words, some client would have hired you or not because of your website.
The Bottom Line
Sure, your stellar reputation is what gets you clients. But a stellar reputation and a stellar website is a better position. The truth is that you have no idea how much business you are losing with a bad website.
