Member Benefits: Web sites for Attorneys as Easy as 1-2-3
The New Hampshire Bar Association is now offering a new benefit for members – significant discounts on setup costs for Web sites developed through an online provider that caters to small-firm and solo lawyers, ESQsites123.com.
ESQsites123.com provides customizable Web site templates that are easy to use and inexpensive to create and maintain, with an affordable, simple pricing structure.
“It can cost thousands of dollars to pay for a Web designer and a lot of the smaller firms and sole practitioners just don’t have that kind of money in their budget,” says Rose Anocibar, Member Coordinator for the NH Bar Association. “This vendor makes it easy for anyone to set up a basic Web site – it can literally be done in minutes.” ESQsites offers an array of Web site packages to provide small-firm attorneys with as much of a Web presence as they choose, with the flexibility to upgrade and change as needed.
ESQsites123.com focuses on Web site design and hosting services for the legal community, and was founded by two California attorneys, Anthony Kalikas and Michael Shannon, who sought to provide sole practitioners and small firms with greater access to the world of Internet advertising and communication. The firm already partners with several other bar associations to offer affordable Web sites as a member benefit.
Pricing for ESQsites123.com Web sites is simple: choose one of four packages priced based on the number of pages. Each of the following packages includes personalized e-mail accounts, a disclaimer page and site map, all hosting costs, domain name, and telephone support.
