Ripping review by Minivanman. Love the honesty.
In my opinion your website is fine. Why? Because it doesn't really matter much at this point.
I recommend two things:
1. Remove prices. Your focus should be on the client and what they need. What if they need an $8000 site? What do you do then?
2. Reach out to a bunch of small lawyers and ask them if you can build them a free website in exchange for a review on Google. Maybe even throw in that they pay you $500 when they get their 5th lead through the website. What have they got to lose?
This does two things. It gives you an in to start a relationship with some businesses. Half of sales is relationships. If you are regularly talking to 100 lawyers, you will never run out of work.
It also gives you incentive to make their websites generate business. Build the sites, install Google Analytics, and learn SEO, making tweaks and changes as you go. After a few months you will start to see what's working and what isn't and most likely will be generating some leads.
At this point you will have some great reviews, happy clients that will likely keep paying you since you're now producing results, and a few lawyers that will send you referrals.
Depending on the type of law, lawyers make good money, so it's in their best interest to spend $300/lead when they are making $1200 per lead.
I've heard a lot of people have great success by being straight up and saying "Hey, I just started doing web design and need some clients to practice on. You don't have to pay unless you get great results and all I ask is that you promote me if I do a good job." People LOVE this shit...
If you go through all this, it will be six months from now and you won't have to ask the Fastlane Forum if your website is good because you will know from experience.
