A web design studio from Found First, built for businesses that rely on trust.
Solicitors and law firms
Classy law firm web design built for authority and trust
Law firm web design should feel composed, discreet and quietly authoritative, never gimmicky. My advantage is search: SEO is my day job at Found First, so your practice area pages target the exact phrases clients use, like "probate solicitor" or "fixed fee conveyancing". You get an affordable, polished website with people-led profiles, price pages that satisfy the SRA rules and a calm, confidential route to the first consultation.

What clients need to feel
People rarely contact a solicitor on a good day. They need calm, clarity and confidence before they need cleverness.
A bereavement, a house move that is going wrong, a divorce, a dispute at work. Most clients arrive at a law firm's website stressed and slightly intimidated, worried about both the problem and the cost of solving it.
Your website should lower that temperature. Plain language, clear explanations of what you do and how much it costs, and people who look approachable rather than unreachable.
Authority comes from composure, not from dark wood and marble columns. A well-set typeface, generous white space and precise wording signal competence far more convincingly than stock photos of gavels.
I design law firm websites to feel classic and assured, with enough warmth that a nervous client feels able to pick up the phone.
Structure
Organised the way clients think
Clients do not search for "private client department". They search for "probate solicitor" or "making a will". The site follows their language.
Practice area pages
One page per service clients actually search for: wills, probate, conveyancing, divorce, employment. Each explains the process, typical timescales and costs.
People
A profile for each solicitor with expertise, experience and a natural photo. Many clients choose a person before a firm.
Fees and transparency
Clear price information where the SRA requires it, and helpful guidance everywhere else. Transparency builds trust even where it is not mandatory.
How we work
The first consultation, how you communicate, and what happens next. Reassurance for people who have never instructed a solicitor.
Regulatory information
SRA badge, SRA number, complaints procedure and professional indemnity details, tidy and consistent in the footer.
Price transparency
Fee pages that read like advice
Transparency rules can produce dry, defensive pages. They do not have to.
The SRA Transparency Rules require many firms to publish price and service information for areas such as residential conveyancing and uncontested probate. Too often the result is a dense block of legal text nobody reads.
I design fee pages that meet the requirements and genuinely help. A clear total or range, what is included, what might cost extra and why, the key stages of the work and who will handle it. Presented well, these pages often become some of the most visited on the site, because they answer the question every client has.
You remain responsible for the content, of course. My job is to make it clear, well organised and easy to keep up to date.
Being found
Local, specific and competitive
Legal searches are some of the most competitive online, but many are local and specific: "probate solicitor Oxford", "fixed fee conveyancing Headington". Focused practice area pages, detailed people profiles and consistent local details give a smaller firm a real chance against national brands.
I build every page with proper search structure, LegalService schema and fast, accessible markup. For firms that want to go further, Found First offers ongoing SEO, including content that answers the questions clients search before they instruct anyone.

Questions
Law firm website questions
Does a solicitors' website have to show prices?
For many firms regulated by the SRA, yes. The SRA Transparency Rules require published price and service information for certain areas, including residential conveyancing, uncontested probate, some employment tribunal claims, motoring offences and debt recovery, along with your complaints procedure. I design fee pages that meet those requirements and still read clearly.
Where should the SRA digital badge go?
SRA-regulated firms are required to display the SRA digital badge on their website. It usually sits in the footer of every page, with your SRA number, alongside a link to your complaints information.
Should every solicitor have a profile page?
Ideally, yes. Clients often choose a person before a firm, especially for private client, family and employment work. A good profile covers expertise, experience and a natural photo, written without stiffness.
How discreet should the contact process be?
Very. Sensitive enquiries need a form that asks only for what is needed, reassurance about confidentiality and, for some practice areas, an option to request a call at a safe time. I design with that care in mind.
What does a law firm website cost?
A small firm or sole practitioner can start with a Business Website from £1,250. Website + Visibility, from £1,750, adds local SEO. Larger firms with many practice areas and people are quoted individually after a call.
