File Under: A Ton Going On at Avvo
I really haven’t slept much in the last couple of weeks. First, we had a great media tour in New York last week (more on that in a later post), and this week we are dropped a WHOLE NEW SITE on the legal world. Yep, tonight Avvo is emerging from beta with a new look and feel, and I could not be more excited. With the new site, we are also launching Legal Guides for lawyers. Holy cupcakes, Batman!
The New Avvo
Well, it’s not really new, it just looks new. When we launched last year, our site was almost entirely focused on our unique legal directory. But with Avvo Answers and, now, Legal Guides, we need to better communicate all that we do for both consumers and lawyers.
Also, as we promised from the beginning, we have been collecting your feedback and have made many of the changes you asked for. One of the biggest changes is our new search functionality. It is very cool in that it puts Avvo users just a click away from the lawyer, legal information, and legal advice they’re looking for. Looking for information on “divorce in Seattle”? Just type in those words, click, and you’ll be presented with top-rated divorce attorneys in Seattle, Legal Guides related to divorce, and questions (with answers) other people have asked about divorce.
Take the new site for a spin and let us know what you think of it. All feedback is appreciated, especially kudos for our development and design teams who worked tirelessly on this redesign for months.
Legal Guides
We’re also launching free Legal Guides to help consumers better understand their legal issues. Ok, so free online legal information is not a new concept, but we think Avvo Legal Guides have raised the bar a bit. Here’s why:
