Web design for
law firms in North York.
There are 69 law firms listed on Google Maps in North York. 65 of them put a website on the listing, and we opened every one of those 65 ourselves. Here is what was behind them.
8 of the 65 North York sites had nothing wrong with them at all. The other 57 had at least one of the faults listed above, and most had more than one. (North York is part of Toronto — we count the businesses that give North York as their address.)
What they are built on
5 platforms,
no clear winner.
Behind the 65 sites we counted 5 platforms. The split says something about budget: 54% on WordPress usually means somebody was paid to build it, while the 2 on free builders were almost always put together by the owner.
What actually breaks
No analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does
on 26 of them.
26 of the 65 law firms we opened in North York share the same fault: no analytics — nobody is measuring what the site does. 24 have a second one on top of it — no enquiry form anywhere on the site. None of this is visible to the owner, which is why it survives for years.
If you own one of these 65 sites, the order to fix them in is the order above: the fault 26 businesses share is the one your competitors have not fixed either, so it is where the cheapest advantage sits.
Who you are up against
298 reviews
from the top five.

North York is the 3rd largest market for law firms in our survey of the GTA, with 69 of them against 1,383 across the region. Review counts are not comparable between trades, so none of this means anything outside law firms.
What this means for you
The North York leaders
already fixed this.

Before you decide anything
Find out whether
you have a problem.
Most people asking about a rebuild do not need one. The free check opens your site, looks at how it behaves on a phone, whether it is secure and how old the page is, and tells you which of those apply to you.
