NextClient.com: The Future for Law Firm Web sites!
During the American Bar Association GP/Solo Section meeting in Beverly Hills this past October, I happened to be talking to a colleague who was busy on his laptop. When I asked him what he was working on, he told me he was in the process of updating his Web site. I knew he was not a “techie” by any stretch so I became intrigued. I asked him how he was able to work on his Web site at all, let alone make updates while away from the office. He then showed me a solution he found that allowed him to choose and launch a custom Web site in minutes, and then update it from anywhere he could connect to the Internet.
This solution comes from NextClient.com, a company that recently released Custom WebExpress, a unique product that allows you to instantly launch and manage a custom law firm Web site and includes practice-specific articles that feed directly into your Web site every week.
After returning from the meeting, I went to www.nextclient.com and discovered that Custom WebExpress offers about 100 or so Web site designs, all ready to launch to the World Wide Web. The interesting twist is that when you select and deploy your design choice, the system automatically removes that design from the online catalog. This means that no other lawyer can use the design you selected, unlike many of the template-based Web site solutions out there.
