Over the last 25 years, we’ve designed hundreds of websites – including dozens for barristers’ chambers and law firms. That experience has shaped a set of features, tools and content structures that work beautifully for legal professionals, whether you’re a set of chambers, a boutique firm or a full-service practice.
Below are the core building blocks of a legal sector website that’s ready for 2025 and beyond. Most of our projects include many (if not all) of these features, tailored to your structure, content and audience.
Sitewide features
Everything your site needs to look professional and meet industry expectations: logo, contact details, main and footer menus, site search, social media icons, copyright and regulatory info (such as SRA or Bar Standards Board details), and important links.
Homepage
We’ll create a striking homepage that clearly communicates your expertise. It might include bold visuals, key messaging, testimonials, awards, a call to action, and your latest news, events or insights – all tailored to your firm or chambers.
General pages
We’ll help you structure pages such as About, History, Terms, CSR, Public Access, Careers, Pupillage or Recruitment. We can advise on content planning and labelling to ensure these pages are user- and SEO-friendly.
Practice areas
Each area of law you cover can have its own dedicated page, explaining your expertise and approach. These pages can also list relevant team members, recent work, publications, and related news or events – with contact info or enquiry forms built in.
People profiles
Whether for barristers, partners, associates or support staff, our profile system is easy to manage and a pleasure to use. Profiles can include biography, expertise, qualifications, contact details, social media links, vCards, and a downloadable PDF version.
Search, filter and sort tools help users find the right individual fast – whether browsing barristers by practice area or scanning departments in a large firm.
News, blog, cases & publications
We’ll set up easy-to-use archives for your news updates, case studies, blog posts and publications. These can be filtered, cross-linked with team and service pages, and fully optimised for search engines.
Events
List seminars, webinars or conferences with full details – including venue, downloads, speakers, and booking forms. You can take bookings or payments directly through the site, or link to platforms like Eventbrite if preferred.
Recruitment & careers
Create a section for pupillage, internships, training contracts or job roles – with application forms, FAQs and testimonials from past pupils or trainees.
FAQs & resources
Help visitors understand how you work and what to expect. Use this section to publish briefing documents, process guides or answers to common questions – reducing email traffic and building trust.
Mailing list
We’ll integrate a GDPR-compliant signup form with your mailing system – whether that’s Mailchimp, Campaign Monitor, or another tool. Using LEX or a third-party CRM? No problem – we can match the branding and link directly from your site.
Photo galleries
Add photo albums from recent events or marketing shoots, displayed in clean, modern galleries with scrolling thumbnails, slideshows or lightboxes.
Multimedia
We’ll help you embed videos using Vimeo or YouTube, and integrate podcast audio using Libsyn or Transistor. With the right tools, it’s easy to manage and publish multimedia content across your site and other platforms.
Contact
A clear and accessible contact page with address, phone number, embedded Google Map, and an enquiry form that captures submissions in your dashboard or database.
Search & filter
We’ll configure your site search to prioritise key content – like team profiles and services – and show results in a helpful, user-friendly way. We can also add filters to help visitors browse by department, expertise, date, or other useful criteria.
Sharing tools
Built-in options for users to share your profiles, publications or updates via LinkedIn, Twitter or email – helping your content reach a wider audience.
Compliance
We’ll support you in meeting all relevant requirements – including GDPR, accessibility and environmental best practice. That includes helping you publish a Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy and Accessibility Statement, and making sure forms and data handling are up to standard.
