Criminal Defense Law Website Structure Guide
A well-structured site for criminal defense firms organizes around charge-specific pages, what-happens-next timeline pages, rights explainer pages, penalty/sentencing guides — with clear navigation to each, not buried behind a generic "Services" menu.
What the top-level navigation should include
Each of these deserves its own clear place in navigation, not a sub-menu three clicks deep:
- charge-specific pages
- what-happens-next timeline pages
- rights explainer pages
- penalty/sentencing guides
Where most sites get the hierarchy wrong
No charge-specific content, so someone searching their exact charge at 2am finds a generic 'criminal defense' page instead of a real answer.
URL structure
Keep URLs short, descriptive, and matched to the page's actual content — a URL that matches the page's real topic (rather than an internal project code or generic ID) helps both visitors and search engines understand the page before they even click.
Or let Omnitopical build this for you.
Plans the full page set criminal defense firms actually need, writes every page, interlinks them automatically, and hosts the result — $99/mo, one domain.
