Draft plan for Alder & Finch Estate Planning

A website that books consultations, with an intake that does the paperwork first

New clients book online, answer the family and asset questions at home, and arrive at the first meeting ready to plan. Every matter sits on one private board the partners share.

01

What changes for you

New clients play phone tag to book a consult

They book online in under a minute, on a partner's real calendar

The first meeting is spent gathering basics

The questionnaire is done beforehand, so the meeting is about the plan

Matters live in inboxes and sticky notes

Every matter sits on one board, with what's next and who has it

02

Pick a direction

Early homepage mockups, desktop and phone. Flip between them and react to each. The favorite gets refined on a private preview link; you can also mix and match.

Quiet confidence

Cream paper, deep evergreen and a classic serif under an arched window. Calm and trustworthy, the way a family's estate plan should feel. Reads well for older clients.

03

How it works, on a phone

The moments that matter most, drawn the way your customers and team will see them.

Good to know

Rules we build around for law firm websites

Research to support your own review, not legal advice. You approve everything that goes live.

Attorney advertising rules

Why it matters
No misleading claims or guarantees, plus the state's required disclaimers
How the build handles it
A locked disclaimer in the footer and on the booking page

Testimonials and reviews

Why it matters
Many state bars restrict how client testimonials appear
How the build handles it
A hidden section that turns on only once the partners approve wording

Confidentiality

Why it matters
Questionnaire answers are sensitive client information
How the build handles it
Encrypted, stored only in the admin, never sent by email

No attorney-client relationship

Why it matters
Visitors shouldn't assume a form makes them a client
How the build handles it
Clear notice on the questionnaire and contact form

Accessibility

Why it matters
ADA claims against professional websites are common
How the build handles it
Built to WCAG 2.2 AA with an accessibility statement

Ideas for later

Not part of this plan and not priced. Just tell us which sound useful, and we'll revisit them once things are running.

  • Intake summary drafts

    A one-page family and asset summary from each questionnaire, reviewed by a partner before use

  • Signing-day reminders

    Reminders and a checklist before signing, then a funding checklist after

  • Annual check-ins

    A yearly email asking whether anything has changed: births, moves, new property

  • Workshop sign-ups

    Event pages and registration for community estate planning workshops

All set?

On a real plan, this is where you’d let us know you’re finished. Within a few days you’d get the final plan, opening with a short “you said, so we changed” summary.

On a real plan, this lets Corey know you're finished.
