A law firm website in 2026 falls into three bands. A simple informational office site costs roughly 25,000–60,000 TRY (about 800–1,900 $), a custom-designed firm site with a page per practice area runs 60,000–150,000 TRY (1,900–4,700 $), and a bilingual site with ongoing content production starts at 150,000 TRY (4,700 $) and up. These are one-off build fees; on top of them come recurring costs — domain, hosting, business email and maintenance — of roughly 5,000–15,000 TRY per year. What moves the price is not the size of your firm but the scope of the site, and below we break that scope down item by item.
Five items that determine law firm website cost
Two firms can describe the same project and receive quotes that differ by a factor of two. The gap almost always comes from scope, not from claims about quality. These five items move the price the most:
- Page count and practice-area depth: the difference between a five-page brochure site and a structure with a dedicated page per practice area is the single largest line in any quote — and most of your search visibility comes from those pages.
- Design: adapting a ready-made theme is the cheapest route; a design drawn around the firm’s own identity is a separate body of work.
- Multilingual setup: for firms with international clients, TR+EN is close to standard. A second language is not just translation — it means a separate URL structure, hreflang and twice the content entry.
- Copywriting: costs drop when the firm writes its own texts. Having the agency write practice-area pages and articles is billed per piece.
- Technical scope: a privacy-compliant contact form, online appointments, a client login area or secure document sharing each push the figure up separately.
Quotes collected before you decide which of these items you actually need are not comparable. For what belongs on a law firm site — and what bar advertising rules keep off it — see our website guide for lawyers and law firms.
Price bands for 2026: what each budget buys
- Entry level (25,000–60,000 TRY): four to six pages, theme-based but fully responsive. About, practice areas, team, contact. A reasonable start for solo practitioners and newly opened offices.
- Mid level (60,000–150,000 TRY): custom design, a page per practice area, a blog/insights section, a compliant contact form and a proper technical SEO setup. This is where most law firm sites in Turkey land.
- Upper level (150,000 TRY and above): bilingual structure, high-performance custom development, modules such as a client portal or appointment system, and packages that include content production. Suited to multi-partner and internationally active firms.
The gap between two quotes for “the same site” usually comes down to three lines: page count, custom design versus theme, and who writes the copy. Ask for all three in writing before you compare prices.
One-off fee plus yearly running cost: budget them separately
Treating the build fee as the whole budget is the fastest way to be surprised at the end of year one. Once the site is live, these items continue:
- Domain and hosting: starts at a few hundred TRY a year and rises to a few thousand depending on traffic and infrastructure. See our guide to domain and hosting fees for current figures.
- SSL certificate: a free Let’s Encrypt certificate is enough for most setups; an organisation-validated certificate is a separate line.
- Business email: accounts on the firm’s own domain are billed per user, per year.
- Maintenance and updates: security patches, backups, content updates and small improvements. Annual maintenance is usually planned at 15–20% of the build cost.
The right comparison is not the one-off fee but the total cost over three years. A cheap-looking quote that excludes maintenance and content entry can end up more expensive by year three. We break that arithmetic down line by line in our corporate website cost guide for 2026.
How advertising restrictions affect the price
In Turkey, the bar association’s advertising restrictions shape a law firm site’s content strategy directly: success rates, client testimonials, campaigns and price lists cannot be used. That constraint does not reduce cost so much as redirect it. Where promotional language is closed off, search visibility has to come from informative content — which is why a relatively large share of the budget on lawyer websites goes not into visuals but into carefully written practice-area pages and explanatory articles. A final compliance read of all copy before launch belongs in the plan as well.
Six questions to ask before you sign
- How many pages are included, and what is the unit price for an extra page?
- Is the design custom, or an adaptation of an existing theme?
- Who writes the copy — the firm or the agency?
- Is the technical SEO setup (titles, sitemap, speed, mobile) included?
- Is there a content management panel, so we can publish articles ourselves?
- After year one, what are the annual maintenance and hosting fees?
Conclusion
Law firm website costs in 2026 run from around 25,000 TRY to well over 150,000 TRY, and where you land depends on the scope you choose rather than the size of your practice. Judge a quote by the three-year total and by how well the site can actually rank, not by the build fee alone. If you would like us to define that scope with you and shape a plan that fits your budget, take a look at our web development service or simply request a quote.
