Law firm website design

Clients choose a lawyer on trust: before they call, they check your website. Abstract27 builds websites for law firms, solicitors and other regulated professions that answer their questions clearly — who you are, what you handle, how you are regulated, how to reach you. A first website or the redesign of a dated firm site: we install, host and run it for £25 a month, with no setup fee — or build it all for you, redesign included, for £749 once.

What a law firm website needs

• Clear practice areas, one page each, written for the client rather than for other lawyers.
• Regulatory information in the footer and wherever it is required, with your regulator's details and badge where applicable.
• Team profiles with qualifications and languages spoken.
• Legal briefings you publish yourself and send to clients as a newsletter.
• An enquiry path that works on mobile: call, email or booking.
• Bilingual pages for international practices.

Your profession

• Website for accountants and tax advisers: services, guides, calculators

What the SRA expects on a law firm website

The SRA Transparency Rules set out what a solicitors' firm must publish online. We build them in from the start:

• Price and service information for the services the rules list, such as residential conveyancing, probate, employment tribunal claims or debt recovery: total or average cost, basis of charges, what is included, key stages and timescales.
• Your complaints procedure, including how and when a client can go to the Legal Ombudsman and to the SRA.
• Your SRA number and the SRA digital badge, displayed in a prominent place.
• Clear, accurate wording: no misleading claims about results, and reviews that are genuine.

Regulated by another body (CILEx Regulation, the Bar Standards Board or a foreign bar)? We adapt the pages to your rules and you approve every text before it goes live.

Redesigning a law firm website

Slow, dated, or impossible to update without a developer? We move your content across, reorganise your practice areas, redirect every old address so you keep your Google rankings, then train you to publish yourself. That is exactly what we did for The French Law Practice. The redesign, migration and content transfer are part of our full website creation, £749 once; the managed plan (£25 a month) then keeps the site running.

Built on Ghost, open-source software you own

Every site we build runs on Ghost®, the open-source publishing platform. The editor is as simple as writing an email, the newsletter is built in, pages load fast, and your content and subscriber list can be exported at any time — nothing is locked in. Ghost is the only platform we build on.

What we have built

• The French Law Practice — a bespoke static site replaced by managed Ghost, with an architecture built for a regulated practice; the solicitor now publishes her own legal briefings.
• TaxTrends — a bilingual tax advisory site moved from Blogger to Ghost, with redirects and training.

Price

£25 a month in one language or £40 a month bilingual: we install your professional website and run it — hosting, security updates, daily backups and newsletter. No setup fee: you add your own texts with an editor as simple as writing an email, and you can cancel any time. Want us to build it all for you — pages written up, your existing content moved across, launch and training? Full website creation is £749 once, live in 7 days. See plans and pricing.

How it works

1. Free call. You tell us about your organisation and what the site must do; we tell you exactly what we would build.
2. Your site installed within a week. We set up your website, newsletter and forms — the same day if it is urgent — and you add your texts. With full website creation (£749 once), we build your pages too: written up, your existing content moved across, live in 7 days. If you prefer, we build it first on a beta site of ours: you check that everything works, and only when it suits you do we move it to your official domain, safely.
3. We run it for you. Hosting, updates, backups and changes on request are included. You publish when you want, we handle the rest. We adapt to what you need — our client reviews say so.

Frequently asked questions

How much does a law firm website cost?

With Abstract27, £25 a month in one language or £40 bilingual: we install your website and run it (hosting, updates, backups, newsletter), with no setup fee. Want us to build it all for you — pages written up, your existing content moved across, launch and training? Full website creation is £749 once.

Can I publish legal updates myself?

Yes. The editor is as simple as writing an email, and each briefing can go to your clients as a newsletter from the same screen.

Do you handle bilingual practices?

Yes. Many of our clients are French-speaking professionals in London; we build sites in English, French or both.

What must a solicitor's website show under the SRA Transparency Rules?

Price and service information for the services the rules list, your complaints procedure with Legal Ombudsman and SRA details, and your SRA number with the SRA digital badge in a prominent place. We set these pages up and you approve them.

Where should the SRA digital badge go?

In a prominent place on the website, usually the footer of every page. It is a snippet of code supplied by the SRA, which we install for you.

Can you redesign our website without losing our Google rankings?

Yes. A redesign includes moving your content and redirecting every old address, so Google and your clients find every page.

Can we show client reviews?

Yes, as long as they are genuine and not misleading. Many firms also link to an independent review platform.

Do you work with accountants and other regulated professions?

Yes — the same needs apply: clear services, regulatory information and trust.
