FindLaw’s Mobile Essential Uses Responsive Design Technology
FindLaw introduced Mobile Essential, a mobile solution for attorneys that uses responsive design technology to optimize law firm websites so that visitors and potential clients have a premium user experience whether viewing the page from a smartphone, tablet, or desktop. Unlike websites that have a separate mobile web address for mobile device viewing, websites with responsive design configurations automatically respond to the size of a screen so that the entirety of the firm’s website, including images and graphics, are viewed consistently across platforms. Responsive design is Google’s recommended configuration for mobile web delivery.Jim Schonrock, senior director of product management, FindLaw, stated, “Our law firms and attorney customers will be able to provide an optimal experience to the more than 160 million and growing number of smartphone users who increasingly rely on mobile devices as their primary Internet connection.” FindLaw’s mobile layouts integrate with the designs of FindLaw’s law firm websites and are search engine-friendly. In addition, the mobile designs include tap-to-call and tap-to-email buttons to provide site visitors the ability to easily contact the firm from anywhere, at any time. FindLaw, part of Thomson Reuters, is a leading provider of free, intelligent legal information and online marketing and client development services, serving the legal industry and consumers. Home to the largest online directory of lawyers that assists consumers in finding an attorney by practice area, FindLaw.com is the most popular legal website with 5 million people visiting each month for free information about a legal topic to either solve a legal problem or find a lawyer.
