A law firm's site for Melbourne
Healthcare, education, hospitality, logistics and construction employ much of the city, and a lot of the work is small business run from a home or a unit. Melbourne curves around the top of Port Phillip Bay and reaches out along the train lines to the foothills in the east and open growth country in the north and west.
People settling into new homes in Melbourne often need a will, a power of attorney and guardianship arrangements for the first time, so a page for new families pays off. Apartment owners around Melbourne meet disputes with body corporates, neighbours and developers, so a page for strata and unit matters, saying plainly what you advise on, gives them somewhere to start. Melbourne is wide enough that clients choose a firm near home or work, so name Preston and Brunswick, show parking and say which meeting options spare them a long drive. Clients around Melbourne come from many backgrounds and may be more at ease in another language, so name the languages your team speaks and keep the plain-language pages short and clear.
Name the places you really work, the way people type them: Preston, Brighton and Richmond, not just Melbourne.

The rules in Victoria
Victoria is a Legal Profession Uniform Law state, so costs wording and how the practice describes itself follow the same rules as New South Wales and Western Australia.
Solicitors' Conduct Rule 36 bars false or misleading claims in advertising, so every line on the site has to be accurate and able to be supported.

Law firms in Melbourne: questions
- How do I keep the site accurate over time?
- Treat lawyers' details, fee notes and practice areas as things that change. Review them when a lawyer joins or leaves, when fees change and at least once a year. Nothing damages trust faster than a departed lawyer on the team page or an old fee quoted as current.
- Should I write blog posts about the law?
- Only if someone with the right knowledge can keep them accurate. General information that explains how a process works can help a reader. Anything that looks like advice for their own situation can mislead. Date each post and say plainly that it's general information.
- Should a Melbourne law firm list the suburbs it covers?
- Yes, and be specific. Someone in Footscray and someone in Frankston are a long way apart, and each wants to know you will come to them or are close. Name the suburbs or the side of town you serve, then add the main roads so the picture is clear.
