Built for Law Firms

Hand-coded WordPress for UK solicitors, barristers and legal practices. Fast, credible and built to generate enquiries.

// Why most law firms websites fail

Four problems we fix every time

01

Generic template appearance

Most law firm sites use the same off-the-shelf themes. No differentiation in design means no differentiation in the client's mind — your firm looks identical to every competitor in the same Google search results page.

02

Mobile users can't reach you

Over 60% of legal searches happen on phones. Template sites with broken mobile menus, tiny contact buttons and unreadable body text lose the majority of potential enquiries before they've read a single word about your firm.

03

No practice area SEO structure

A single "Services" page cannot rank for "family solicitor Manchester" and "conveyancing solicitor Leeds" at the same time. Without individual practice area pages, your firm is invisible for the searches that drive the most enquiries.

04

Missing E-E-A-T signals

Google ranks professional services sites based on Experience, Expertise, Authoritativeness and Trust. Missing team bios, no case study content, absent accreditation display and no publication history all suppress rankings for competitive legal search terms.

// The problem

What holds law firms back online

Most law firm websites are either over-designed agency vanity projects or neglected template sites from 2017. Neither converts. The real problems: slow load times that hurt Google rankings, no clear service structure for multi-practice firms, contact forms that break on mobile, and zero local SEO setup. Meanwhile, prospective clients are searching for solicitors on their phones and clicking the first result that loads.

// The WPDA approach

How we build it differently

We build hand-coded WordPress themes for law firms — no Elementor, no page builders, no plugin bloat. That means a 90+ Google PageSpeed score, clean semantic HTML that ranks, and a contact-first layout that pushes every visitor toward calling or emailing. We handle SRA display requirements, structured schema for legal services, and local SEO setup so your firm appears in Google's map pack for the searches that matter.

01
Practice area architecture

Structured service pages for each practice area — commercial law, family, conveyancing, employment — with internal linking that signals topical authority to Google and guides clients to the right team.

WordPress SEO →
02
90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed

Most law firm sites score 30–50 on Google PageSpeed. We build to 90+ by default — no render-blocking JS, optimised images, critical CSS inlined. A fast site ranks higher and converts better.

Speed optimisation →
03
Mobile-first contact flow

Over 60% of legal searches happen on mobile. We design click-to-call headers, mobile-optimised contact forms and sticky CTAs so clients can reach your team in one tap — not three scroll-and-clicks.

04
Local SEO foundation

Google Business Profile integration, LocalBusiness schema markup, location-specific service pages and citation consistency — everything needed to rank in the map pack for "solicitor near me" searches in your catchment area.

05
Solicitor profiles and team pages

Individual team member pages with professional photography guidelines, qualification display, practice area specialisms and links to authored content — the E-E-A-T architecture that Google rewards for professional services.

06
SRA compliance structure

Price transparency on regulated services, complaints procedure pages, regulatory status display and a CMS your compliance team can update independently — SRA requirements built into the site from day one, not retrofitted.

07
Case study and insight content

A content architecture that lets your team publish client outcomes, sector insights and legal commentary — without developer support. Blog and resource sections configured for the content that drives topical authority for legal search terms.

08
Conversion-optimised contact

Enquiry forms that qualify the brief before submission, click-to-call on every page, appointment booking integration and a "what to expect" section that removes the anxiety barrier for first-time legal clients.

// Who we work with

Every type of law firm

Sole practitioners and boutique firms

Single-solicitor practices and boutique firms of 2–5 lawyers who need a credible digital presence that wins against larger firm websites on the searches that matter to their practice area.

Multi-practice firms

Established firms with multiple practice areas — commercial, family, property, employment, criminal — who need a structured site architecture that lets each department own its search rankings independently.

Barristers' chambers

Chambers needing member profiles, practice area directories, clerk contact flows and a design that communicates the specific culture and seniority of their set — not the same template used by every other chambers.

Employment and family law specialists

High-volume enquiry practices in employment and family law where the website is the primary new client channel — built around immediate contact access, clear fee information and trust signals that convert distressed clients into booked consultations.

From 100+ verified UK client reviews

"They rebuilt our site in four weeks and we were ranking on page one within the month. It is the best commercial decision we made this year."

Sarah Thompson

Client · Manchester

"Our old WordPress site was slow, invisible in search and frankly embarrassing. They fixed all of it — we are faster, ranking better and finally winning the right clients."

Mark Davies

Client · London

"WooCommerce, SEO and hosting all managed in one place — it changed how we operate. Sales are up 40% since launch and we have not looked back."

Emma Wilson

Client · Edinburgh

"Our site converts better than anything our competitors are running. They built it around our actual customers — not a template."

// Common questions

Frequently asked

Law firm WordPress websites with WPDA start from £1,800 for a custom-designed brochure site. Multi-practice-area firms with 20+ pages typically run £3,000–£5,000. All projects are fixed-price — quoted in writing after a free discovery call. No hourly rates, no scope creep.

Yes. We're familiar with SRA Transparency Rules — price transparency on certain services, regulatory information, complaints procedure links — and build these into the site structure from day one. We're not a legal compliance firm, but we build the architecture so your compliance team can populate it correctly.

Yes. Our WordPress SEO service includes on-page optimisation, structured schema for legal services, local SEO setup and content architecture for practice area pages. For competitive terms like "family solicitor London", SEO takes 3–6 months to show results — we set realistic expectations and track progress from day one.

A standard law firm site (home, about, 4–8 practice area pages, team, contact) takes 5–7 weeks from briefing to launch. Larger multi-partner firms with individual solicitor profiles, case study content and blog functionality typically run 8–12 weeks. We provide weekly staging updates throughout.

Yes. We build a CMS admin panel configured around how your team works — adding team members, publishing news articles, updating practice area content — without needing to contact us. We include a WordPress training session in every project.

Yes. Chambers have specific requirements — member directories, practice area classifications, clerk contact flows, QC/junior distinction display — and we build these into bespoke WordPress sites rather than adapting a template. We've built sites for barristers' sets across commercial, criminal and family law.

Yes. We handle migrations from all major CMS platforms — Squarespace, Wix, old bespoke CMS builds and legacy WordPress installs — preserving all existing URLs to protect your current rankings. No downtime, no broken links, no ranking drops.

Yes. If you're running Google Ads for personal injury, employment or conveyancing enquiries, we build dedicated landing pages optimised for conversion — fast-loading, mobile-first, with clear CTAs and trust signals designed to maximise enquiry rate from paid traffic.

All contact forms we build include GDPR-compliant consent checkboxes, privacy policy links and appropriate data retention language. We configure form submissions to go directly to your email without storing personal data on the server unless you specifically require a CRM integration.

We integrate WordPress with Clio, LEAP, ActionStep, Salesforce and standard email-based enquiry routing. If you're using a CRM not listed, ask — we can usually build the integration via API or webhook.

Yes. Our WordPress Care Plans (from £150/month) cover core and plugin updates, security monitoring, uptime monitoring and direct developer access for content changes. Legal practices with compliance-sensitive content benefit from managed updates to avoid plugin conflicts that could break form functionality.

Yes. Multi-office firms need individual location pages for each branch — each with its own local SEO content, map pack setup and practitioner directory. We build this as a scalable CMS structure so you can manage each location independently.

Yes, in most cases. WordPress gives you full ownership of your site, no ongoing platform fees, flexible CMS access and the technical SEO foundation that matters for professional services rankings. The alternative most law firms consider is a bespoke build — which costs more and requires more ongoing developer support. For firms with complex portals or client-facing systems, we also build headless WordPress with Next.js.

Yes. High street practices with legally aided work have different website requirements to commercial firms — simpler booking flows, plain English copy, accessible design — and we build accordingly. The fixed-price process is the same regardless of firm type.

A 30-minute discovery call to understand your firm, your practice areas, your current site problems and your target clients. After that call, we deliver a written fixed-price proposal within 24 hours. We handle the rest — design, copy review, build and launch. You review and approve at key milestones.
