Where the business was before the website
Stevan Drašković runs a law office in Savski venac, Belgrade, and handles a wide range of cases: criminal, commercial, family and inheritance law, real estate, contracts, employment law, damages, IT law and debt collection. Some of his clients are foreigners doing business or buying property in Serbia.
A client looking for a lawyer does not search for "a law office" in general, but for a lawyer for their problem: "a lawyer for damages", "buying a flat lawyer", "unfair dismissal". A website that keeps every practice area on one page cannot appear for any of those searches, and a foreigner who does not read Serbian cannot even tell what the office does.
The task was a website that inspires the same trust as the office itself, that says clearly in both languages what the office does and what it costs, and that can grow through legal articles.
The solution, step by step
We built the site from scratch as a fast static site with no database and no plugins to update. The design follows the seriousness of the profession: a dark palette with gold details, serif headings, a photo of Themis in the first screen and one clear "Book a consultation" button. Address, email and phone are at the top of every page, and a call button follows the visitor while they scroll.
Each of the 11 practice areas got its own page with a title and description based on how people search: criminal law, commercial law, family law, inheritance, misdemeanour proceedings, buying and selling property, drafting contracts, employment law, damages, IT law and debt collection. Plus a price list, FAQ and contact.
The whole site also exists in English, with a separate address for every page (for example /en/criminal-law/), not as an automatic translation on top of the Serbian pages. That way the English pages can rank for searches by foreigners, and the language switch is in the header.
The blog launched with legal guides in both languages: buying a flat in Belgrade, unfair dismissal, damages after a traffic accident and choosing between a limited company and sole proprietorship. Every article leads to the matching practice area and to booking.
Technical details
- A static Next.js site with no database and no plugins, fast and resistant to the attacks WordPress sites face
- Serbian and English with separate addresses for every page, hreflang tags and one sitemap for both languages
- 11 pages per practice area, price list, FAQ, contact and a blog with legal guides in both languages
- Address, email and phone in the header, a floating call button, Google Search Console from launch
We use the same approach on every project: web development and website redesign and SEO.
What changed
The office got a website that says in a few seconds, in Serbian and English, what it does, what it costs and how to book. After the launch, attorney Stevan Drašković wrote on Google: "I can honestly say I didn’t expect such a huge impact... My law office Draskovic performance improved almost immediately. Everything feels more professional, faster, and more user-friendly."
The site is now the base for a two month SEO plan (November and December 2026): the office's Google profile, new pages for the most searched topics and legal articles. We will publish Search Console numbers here when the plan is done, not before.
What you can apply to your own business
- People do not search for "a lawyer", but for a lawyer for their problem. Every practice area deserves its own page, because Google ranks pages, not websites.
- If you work with foreigners, the English version has to be a real site with its own addresses, not a button that translates the Serbian text on the fly.
- For a lawyer, the website sells trust. A serious design, clear prices and contact details at the top of every page do more than long texts about tradition.
- Legal guides are the best way for the site to grow: they answer the questions people type before they call a lawyer.
The difference a well-built website can make is incredible. My law office Draskovic performance improved almost immediately.
