So many law firm websites look the same. And I think the firms know it too.
I recently worked on a website for Jiggetts PLLC, a Chicago-based law firm. Before I started designing anything, I spent a while just browsing other firms' sites. Dark blue, stock handshakes, huge footers, generic image in the header, the same layout repeated across hundreds of firms.
I wanted to challenge that, and luckily, my client agreed.
We went with something darker and more luxurious. Not what you'd expect from a legal website. That was the point.
My client didn't have any professional photography. For me, that was a nice challenge. So I turned to Midjourney.
But I stayed away from AI-generated portraits. They still look off, and on a site where trust matters, that's a risk you don't take. Instead, I went with blurred motion. People moving through hallways, desks with paperwork, the feeling of a firm that's actually busy. It works. The images feel intentional rather than fake.
The site isn't live yet, but I have permission to share it. Some of the content is still placeholder and the contact form isn't set up, so don't try that. But the direction is there.
Check out the site via the link in the comments.
I'm available for new website projects or if you need a hand with Webflow development.
