Best Web Design for Legal Services (UK)
Clients want clarity quickly: do you handle their matter, who will lead it, how you bill, and what happens next. A calm, mobile-first site answers those questions and makes contact the obvious action.
See confident, approachable layouts in our portfolio.
Why this matters: UK adults use search heavily and browse mostly on mobile—so your practice areas, team details and fees signals should be easy to skim on a phone. Reviews help, but clients typically check websites for validation before they enquire.
From anxiety to action: what clients need to see
- Practice fit: crystal-clear pages for Family, Conveyancing, Wills & Probate, Employment, Litigation, Business—each with scope, typical timelines and documents needed.
- Team & credibility: human bios (not CV dumps), panel memberships, languages spoken and direct contact options.
- Fees signals: fixed-fee examples or “from £…” bands where appropriate, and a simple explainer of hourly vs fixed work.
- Contact routes: short triage form, call-back requests and clear response times.
- Accessibility & reassurance: office access notes, remote meetings, and sensible guidance about next steps.
Legal is a trust purchase. A calm site that avoids jargon and sets expectations wins enquiries—and reduces time-wasting calls.
Page structure that converts without feeling salesy
Practice area pages
Scope, process, documents, timelines, “what’s included” and what’s not. Add short checklists (e.g., for conveyancing: ID, proof of funds, mortgage offer).
Team pages
Approachable headshots, short bios and direct contact. People want to know who they’ll actually speak to.
Fees & funding
Where you can, give bands or fixed fees. Explain retainers, disbursements and common third-party costs.
Guides & FAQs
Plain-English guides (e.g., “Exchange vs completion”, “Settlement agreements—what to expect”). These reduce repetitive questions and build topical authority.
Reviews & case studies
With consent, show anonymised outcomes and client comments. Place next to CTAs, not on a hidden page.
Contact & triage
Short form: matter type, urgency, jurisdiction, preferred slot. Include a call-back option.
Mobile-first UX: accessible, fast, and respectful
We design for thumbs first: readable type, clear CTAs, and forms that take seconds. On desktop, we widen for comparison tables (fixed vs hourly), richer FAQs and supporting documents. Performance matters—we compress assets, lazy-load images, and aim to pass Core Web Vitals to keep the experience calm.
On-page SEO (included) & local visibility
- Keyword mapping: “solicitor [town]”, “family law [town]”, “conveyancing [town]”.
- Structure: H1-H3 hierarchy, descriptive meta titles/descriptions, internal links that mirror client journeys.
- Schema & alt text: correct opening hours, LocalBusiness details and meaningful alt text for accessibility and context.
- Content quality: unique practice pages (not duplicates) to satisfy search intent.
Indexing & launch
We generate your XML sitemap and robots rules and submit to Google and Bing so pages are discovered quickly. Brand queries typically index first; practice + area terms follow as crawlers review pages. Rankings are set by search algorithms, but clarity, speed and unique content are non-negotiables—we handle those.
