  Announcing WEBSITE DESIGN and SEO For Mediators By Thurman Arnold

Website Design, Development and Optimization for

Divorce and Family Law Mediation

This blog article is written for anyone who is a mediator, or who is beginning to seriously consider making the commitment to establishing a mediation practice within their community. In order to be successful, you need to be visible to the public you would serve. However, for most legal professionals how to accomplish that visibility on the Web is a deep mystery.

I believe so passionately in mediation as a highly productive, relatively inexpensive, and richly satisfying alternative to family court litigation that I want to do everything within my sphere of influence to popularize it, including helping other lawyer-mediators and nonlawyer mediators to establish and develop their own dispute resolution practices. The internet is an incredible tool for reaching out to legal consumers and educating them about the availability and benefits of this option. It is an excellent setting for showcasing our own mediation philosophies and styles. Those of us who love to mediate because of the positive differences it makes in people's lives - and in our own professional practices to the extent that we divorce attorneys become an active part of the solution, rather than problem generators - have the opportunity and possibly even the responsibility to do everything we can to have an on-line conversation with disputants about the economic and emotional perils of adversary litigation. Mediator websites are a powerful platform from which to begin that dialogue. Not only do our on-line identities represent an ethical vehicle for attracting business and so earning a living, they are tools for change in how society, and people at the end of relationship in particular, make choices about what we value. If we value relationship warfare, that is what we will experience together with all the harm it causes ourselves and others. If people recognize that it is natural to be conflicted and reactive when the emotional and economic relationship implodes, but that it is possible to manage those feelings and to choose not to let them rule our lives, then another world of choices and outcomes opens up. The goal of dissolution related mediation is to alleviate human suffering, one couple at a time.

For these reasons I've decided to offer my services to legal and mental health professionals who wish to develop a sophisticated on-line presence in the field of divorce and family law mediation. After having invested hundreds and hundreds of hours developing my own sites, and sites for others (including two nationally recognized mediation trainers), I have gained a powerful intimacy with how Google and other search engines operate. I want to apply that expertise to your advantage. I can assist you with website design, in choosing and negotiating with the right website design company (for instance, Scorpion Designs), with important feedback concerning whether to incur costs with website developers like Findlaw.com and Mediate.com, and with search engine optimization techniques and content writing. My websites speak for themselves (please feel free to browse the links at the bottom of this page, and www.LosAngelesFamilyMediationServices.com). And they speak to potential mediation clients 24/7. 

If you wish to know more about the types of services I can offer you, and the reasons why utilizing these services will have a far higher impact on your customer base and the success of your mediation practices, please visit me at www.FamilyLawSEOSpecialists.com.
