Primary route
The first screen should tell a solicitor prospect what you do, where you work, what the next step is, and why they can trust the page enough to keep reading.

Solicitors.
A solicitor's website built to SRA Price Transparency rules. Practice-area pages, transparent fees for conveyancing and probate, SRA badge in the header, and a secure contact form.
Why this site mattersWhat a solicitor site
What a solicitor site
is really doing.
Solicitor websites have one job: turn a serious legal problem into a secure, qualified enquiry.
Your client is anxious, comparing firms, checking fees where transparency rules apply, and deciding whether you feel credible enough to trust with the matter.
Every site I build for solicitors is engineered around that one action — practice-area pages, SRA-compliant fee information, secure forms, clear team bios, and trust signals all working together to make the enquiry feel safe.
High-intent industryMake the Enquiry
Make the Enquiry
Obvious.
Brief focus
I'd scope the site around four decisions: what a visitor needs to see before they trust you, the action that should be easiest on mobile, the pages that deserve to exist for search, the proof you genuinely have and the proof you still need to collect. That keeps the page practical rather than decorative.

I can describe what a strong solicitor site needs. I won't claim I've shipped client results in this industry unless the facts file supports it.

How I build itMy process
for solicitors.
for solicitors.
Starter is £250 delivered in 10 working days. For a law firm that covers a homepage, up to four practice-area pages, a team page, an SRA-compliant fees page, a secure contact form, and a privacy policy. You send me fee data, partner bios, and photos. I draft, you review for legal accuracy, we launch.
I build with Next.js and host on Vercel's free tier. The site serves over HTTPS by default with HSTS enabled. Contact-form submissions are encrypted in transit. I set up cookie consent aligned with ICO guidance before any analytics fire.
If you need client intake workflows, document upload portals, or matter-management integrations, that's Business at £400 or Growth at £1,000. Complex integrations are scoped separately before I quote.
What to avoidCommon
Mistakes.
Mistakes.
The commonest failure is missing or incomplete SRA Price Transparency pages. Firms that should publish fees (conveyancing, probate, employment tribunal, immigration, motoring offences, debt recovery) sometimes don't, or they publish 'from £X' without the required components. This is an active SRA compliance risk and I build your pages to the current rulebook.
The second issue is team pages populated with stock silhouettes or grouped photos from 2014. Clients instructing a solicitor want to see the person. Recent professional headshots with a proper bio for each fee-earner are the single biggest conversion improvement I see on firm sites.
Common questions
Solicitors FAQ.
Yes. I read the current SRA Standards and Regulations before drafting, and I avoid anything that overstates outcomes, compares firms unverifiably, or implies guarantees where none exist. If there's a specific point your COLP flags, I'll work to it. Compliance is easier to build in than to retrofit.
For fixed-fee work, yes, through Stripe or GoCardless. For client-account funds the regulatory bar is higher and that's a Business or Growth plan build with proper client-account safeguards. I'll be honest if the right answer is 'use your existing system' rather than a custom integration.
I don't install live chat by default on solicitor sites. Most small firms can't staff it properly and it damages trust when messages go unanswered. A prominent phone number and a same-day-response contact form convert better. If you want chat later it's straightforward to add.
I write a privacy policy tailored to your actual data handling (forms, analytics, cookies, client intake). I don't use generic templates. If your firm has a specific DPO or outside counsel who reviews policies I can work to their brief. This is standard on every Starter build.
