The verdict in three sentences
A law firm doesn't buy a flashy website: it buys credibility and restraint. A clean institutional showcase (intro, practice areas, team, contact) costs 350,000 to 550,000 FCFA in 2026. The modules that truly make a difference — expertise blog, online appointment booking, bilingual FR/EN — add 150,000 to 500,000 FCFA and turn the site into a discreet client-acquisition tool.

Mini case study
Maître Diallo runs a business-law firm in Dakar-Plateau. He invests 900,000 FCFA in the full pack with blog and online booking. An initial consultation is billed at 75,000 FCFA and often leads to a high-value case. If the blog, well ranked for "business lawyer Dakar", brings 2 qualified consultations a month, that is already 150,000 FCFA monthly before signed cases: the site is paid off in about six months, an excellent ratio for a durable acquisition asset.

Kolonell builds websites that attract clients, optimized for the Sénégalese market. Free quote in 2 minutes.
Does a firm really need a blog?
The blog is a lawyer's best SEO tool: a serious article on a business-law or labour-law question can rank you durably for "lawyer + specialty + Dakar". Budget +150,000 FCFA for the module.
Is online booking suitable for a firm?
Yes, if kept restrained. A simple consultation calendar (+200,000 FCFA) cuts coordination calls and sharpens the image without harming confidentiality.
Should the tone differ from a typical commercial site?
Yes. We favour a clean design, restrained typography and precise wording. Credibility trumps visual flourish: that's what a client entrusting a dispute is looking for.
Should client names be displayed?
Rarely. We prefer discreet references (sectors, case types) over names, to respect confidentiality while demonstrating experience.
How long to deliver?
A restrained showcase ships in 3-5 weeks; the full pack with blog, booking and bilingual support in 5-7 weeks.
