Law Firm Website Design That Brings In the Right Clients
Most people look at a law firm’s website before they pick up the phone, and many decide on the spot whether to get in touch. We design websites for law firms that feel calm and credible, explain each practice area in plain language and make it easy to book a first consultation.

People Choose a Lawyer Long Before They Call
Someone looking for a lawyer is usually dealing with something stressful, such as a separation, a property settlement, a will or a dispute. Before they call anyone, they search, compare a few firms and look for one that seems to understand their situation.
That is where many firms lose good clients without knowing it. The website looks dated, every practice area is crammed onto one page, the solicitors are hard to find and there is no simple way to book a first conversation, so the person moves on to the next firm in the search results.
A well-planned law firm website does the opposite. It shows who you are, explains how you help in words a client understands and makes the next step easy. It is part of our wider website design service, built around the way people choose a lawyer.
What Every Law Firm Website We Build Includes
Every website is planned around how people choose a lawyer, so it builds trust before the first consultation.
A Page for Each Practice Area
Family law, property, wills and estates and every other area you cover gets its own page, so a client finds what applies to them and Google can show the right page for each search.
Solicitor Profiles That Build Trust
People want to know who they will be speaking to. Each solicitor gets a profile with their photo, experience and the areas they work in.
An Easy Way to Book a First Consultation
A clear enquiry form on every page asks the questions your team needs, so you can respond quickly and know what the matter is about before you call back.
Content That Follows the Advertising Rules
We write with the solicitors’ conduct rules in mind, so your website does not overstate what you do or call anyone a specialist unless they are accredited.
Built to Be Found on Google
Every website includes the foundations of SEO, including page titles, local search setup and fast loading, so your practice areas can show up when people search for them.
Secure and Easy to Update
Your website is built on WordPress and tested on phones and computers, and we show your team how to update profiles, practice areas and articles.
Websites for Every Type of Legal Practice
Each area of law brings different clients with different worries, so we plan the pages around what those clients need to hear first.
Family Law
People going through a separation need to feel they are in safe hands. We keep the tone calm and supportive, explain your process simply and make it easy to arrange a confidential first conversation.
Property Law and Conveyancing
Buyers and sellers often search close to a deadline and want a fast answer. Clear service pages, fee information where you choose to show it and a quick quote form help you win the work before someone else does.
Wills and Estates
These clients are often planning ahead or dealing with the loss of someone close. We explain each service in plain language, from wills and powers of attorney to estate administration, and make the first step feel easy.
Commercial, Criminal and Other Practice Areas
Business clients want to see experience and a clear process, while someone facing a criminal matter wants to know quickly that you can help. We shape each practice area page around the client who is reading it.

A Law Firm Website Has to Follow the Rules
Your website is advertising, so it has to meet the same conduct rules as any other marketing your firm does. Most web designers do not know these rules, which is how firms end up with wording on their website they would never have approved.
Under the Australian Solicitors’ Conduct Rules, your advertising must not be false, misleading or deceptive, and you cannot use the words “accredited specialist” or anything close to them unless you hold that accreditation. That means words like “specialist” need care, and so do claims such as “the best” or “guaranteed results” that you could not back up.
We write and check every page with those rules in mind. We keep client details out of results and stories unless the client has agreed, and you review every word before anything goes live, because you know your obligations better than anyone.

How Much Does a Law Firm Website Cost?
Most law firms need a multi-page website, so each practice area and solicitor has its own page. Multi-page websites start from $4,500 + GST, and one-page websites start from $1,997 + GST for a sole practitioner or a single service.
The final price depends on how many practice areas and solicitors you need pages for, how much of the writing we do for you and any extra features such as online booking. You get a fixed quote before anything starts, so you know the full cost up front.
You can pay with a 50% deposit and 50% on completion, or spread the cost with a payment plan over 12 or 24 months. A good website is an investment, not just a cost, and for a law firm a single new matter can often cover it. Our guide to how much a website costs in Australia explains what changes the price.
