Your website is often the first impression potential clients have of your firm. A modern, user-friendly, and responsive website is crucial for attracting and retaining clients.

Here’s what to consider:

  • Responsiveness: Your website should display optimally on all devices, including desktops, tablets, and smartphones.
  • User-Friendly Navigation: Ensure your website is easy to navigate and find necessary information quickly.
  • WCAG Compliance: WCAG compliance ensures your website is accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities. This is not just good practice, but may also be required by law in Australia.

Content marketing is the cornerstone of any successful marketing strategy. By creating high-quality, informative that resonates with your target audience, you can establish your firm as a thought leader in your area of expertise.
