Almost nobody calls a lawyer cold. They get your name from someone they trust, they look you up on their phone, and what they find decides whether they dial. This is what they find, and what it does when they get there.
They were given your name an hour ago. The page opens in under a second, says who you are, and puts your number under their thumb before they finish reading.
Instead of a voicemail nobody returns, they answer the questions you would have asked, including who else is involved, and it comes back to you written down.
They fill in a handoff rather than leaving a name on a voicemail. Conflicts at the top, the clock flagged, their own details attached.
Both figures below were measured on the morning of 17 August 2026, on a phone, with an empty cache, which is how somebody who has never met you arrives.
Every request is a round trip before your number appears.
On a phone, cache empty, which is how a stranger arrives.
The difference between a website that happens to belong to a lawyer, and one built by somebody who knew what a conflict check is, what Rule 7.2 forbids, and how few days the Commission on Human Rights gives a person.
The question was never whether a website is worth that. It is whether it brings you one client a year who would otherwise have called the firm whose page loaded first and answered fastest. On the evidence above, that is not a close question.
None of these are needed for the site to work, and none of them are what you are being asked to decide today.
