Law firm website design for solicitors and lawyers
A serious online presence for practice areas, consultations, trust and qualified enquiries.
What we build for lawyers
- Pages by practice area
- Consultations
- Trust signals
- Qualified enquiries
Trust, clarity and a simple step towards a consultation
Law firm website design has to do two things for a potential client: show them quickly whether you can help with their problem, and give them enough confidence to get in touch. The site needs to look professional, read easily on a phone and explain each practice area clearly. Many people contact a lawyer at a stressful moment, so the tone should be calm and clear.
We build websites for solicitors, law firms and independent lawyers with a page for each practice area, profiles of your lawyers, answers to common questions and a simple way to book a consultation. Each practice area page explains who it is for, how the process usually works and what the first step is, in plain English rather than legal jargon.
The copy is measured and informative, with no promises about outcomes, and follows the advertising and transparency rules of your regulator. In England and Wales, the SRA Transparency Rules require firms that offer certain services, such as residential conveyancing, uncontested probate or employment tribunal claims for unfair or wrongful dismissal, to publish price and service information on their website. We plan these pages from the start. Where a fixed fee or a fee range is possible, we present it clearly alongside what it includes.
For sole practitioners, a brochure site covering the main practice areas is usually enough to begin with. Firms with several lawyers need a page for each lawyer and practice area, plus articles that answer clients’ common questions. In both cases, the site must load fast on mobile and make booking a consultation simple. Pages are optimised for searches such as “family solicitor + town” and linked to your Google Business Profile.
Common problems on law firm websites
Practice areas mixed together
All services sit on a single page, which is hard to read and hard to find in Google.
An outdated mobile site
Small text, awkward menus and contact details hidden at the bottom of the page.
No useful answers
Clients learn nothing helpful about their situation before they are asked to call.
Missing fee information
Clients cannot see how fees work, and price information your regulator requires is absent.
Enquiries not tracked
Nobody knows which pages or sources bring consultation requests.

How a website brings clients to a law firm
Searches about real problems
Clients rarely search for just “solicitor”. They search for a solution: divorce, settlement agreement, lasting power of attorney, buying a house, unpaid invoices. Practice area pages written in the client’s own language answer these searches and show from the first lines that you deal with this kind of matter regularly and understand what the client is going through.
Useful information before the consultation
An article explaining the steps of a process, the documents needed or typical timescales brings visits from Google and builds trust. Clients arrive at the first consultation better prepared, and the conversation is more productive for both sides. Price and timescale information, where you publish it, answers the first question most clients have and filters out enquiries that are not a good fit.
Professional, compliant presentation
The site presents your lawyers, qualifications and areas of work objectively, without promises of results or comparisons with other firms. Contact details, opening hours, how fees are set and your regulatory information are easy to find. We follow the advertising guidance of whichever body regulates your firm, and you approve all copy before it goes live on the website.
Questions about law firm website design
What can a law firm website include?
Information about your lawyers, practice areas, how you work and your contact details, presented objectively. We avoid promises about outcomes and comparisons with other firms, and you approve all copy.
Do we need to publish prices on our website?
If your firm is regulated by the SRA and offers services covered by the Transparency Rules, such as residential conveyancing or uncontested probate, price and service information must be published. For other services it is your choice. Your regulator’s guidance is always the final reference.
Is it worth having a separate page for each practice area?
Yes. Clients search for specific problems, such as “divorce solicitor” or “employment solicitor”, and a dedicated page answers better and is easier to find in Google.
Does a blog help a law firm website?
Yes, if the articles answer clients’ real questions. They bring visits from Google and show your expertise before the first consultation.
How much does a law firm website cost?
A brochure site starts from €469 and a complete site with practice area pages starts from €849. The final quote follows the free audit.
How long does it take to build a law firm website?
A brochure site usually takes 7-10 working days and a complete site with practice area pages 14-21 working days. Most of the time usually goes on the lawyers’ review of the copy.
