Web Design & Development for Solicitors & Lawyers

FAST, SCALABLE WEBSITES BUILT FOR LAW FIRMS AND SOLICITORS

 

 

WEBSITES THAT BUILD TRUST BEFORE THE FIRST CONVERSATION

Web Design for Solicitors & Law Firms

Since 2006, boxChilli has worked with law firms and solicitors across the UK to design and develop websites that are fast, intuitive and built around clear user journeys. From commercial clients looking for specialist advice to private individuals needing support with family law, conveyancing or probate, we create legal websites that make it easy to find the right service, understand your expertise and contact the right team.

Led by a dedicated Project Coordinator, our in-house team of designers and developers build bespoke WordPress websites that are secure, accessible and scalable, while remaining simple for internal teams to manage. From complex practice area and sector structures to detailed fee earner profiles, multi-office journeys, pricing information and consultation forms, every element is built around the practical needs of a modern law firm. With SEO, SRA requirements and long-term growth considered from the outset, your website becomes more than a place to present the firm, it supports client acquisition, business development, recruitment and expansion across the services, teams and locations you want to grow.

WEBSITES BUILT TO SUPPORT INSTRUCTIONS AND GROWTH

Specialist Website Design & Development Services for Solicitors & Lawyers

The websites we build for law firms vary depending on how services are structured, how teams are organised and how prospective clients move from research to enquiry. Some firms benefit from flexible WordPress platforms that make it easy to manage service pages, legal insights, fee earner profiles and office content, while others need more structured journeys around consultation requests, client intake and specialist practice areas.

In many cases, law firm websites also need bespoke functionality or integrations that support the wider business. This can include CRM connections, enquiry routing, payment systems, recruitment platforms, document handling, pricing information and links with practice management software, particularly for firms managing multiple offices, departments or client types.

Because every practice operates differently, our work spans brochure-style legal websites, conversion-focused enquiry platforms, migration-led rebuilds and custom solutions designed around more complex operational needs. Every project follows the same principle, your website should reflect how your firm works today while remaining flexible enough to support new services, additional locations, evolving SRA requirements and changing client expectations in the future.

WORDPRESS WEBSITES

With deep WordPress expertise, our in-house team designs and develops fully responsive websites for law firms and solicitors that support day-to-day marketing, business development and content management. Built using our proprietary SDK rather than off-the-shelf themes or page builders, each site is structured around the way your firm operates, from practice areas and sector pages to fee earner profiles, office locations, legal insights and recruitment content.

This gives your marketing team greater control without creating unnecessary complexity. New services, solicitors, articles, office pages and campaign content can be added easily, while the clean, maintainable codebase provides a strong foundation for SEO, CRM integrations, client intake tools and future development. The result is a flexible WordPress platform that is straightforward to manage in-house and ready to grow alongside your firm.

ECOMMERCE & ONLINE PAYMENT WEBSITES

For law firms, eCommerce functionality is less about selling products and more about making payments, billing and client transactions easier to manage online. We build secure website functionality that can support invoice settlement, consultation fees, deposits, account payments and other legal service charges, giving clients a straightforward way to pay while reducing unnecessary administration for your team.

Depending on how your firm operates, this can include integrations with payment gateways, CRM systems, practice management software and client portals, as well as tailored payment journeys for different services or departments. Every setup is built with usability, security and scalability in mind, helping your firm streamline payment collection, improve the client experience and create a more connected digital process from initial enquiry through to payment.

Bespoke Websites

Some law firms need more than a standard CMS setup, particularly where client journeys, internal workflows or integrations are more complex. Bespoke website development is suited to firms that need functionality built around the way they actually operate, whether that means custom enquiry routing, secure client areas, specialist calculators, document handling, CRM connections or integrations with practice management systems.

Built on a carefully structured codebase and supported by our SDK where appropriate, bespoke legal websites are designed to remain secure, maintainable and scalable over the long term. This gives your firm the flexibility to introduce new services, offices, tools and integrations without forcing existing processes into rigid pre-built systems, creating a platform that can evolve alongside both your operational needs and client expectations.

Website Migrations

Website migrations are often needed when a law firm’s existing platform becomes outdated, difficult to manage or no longer supports the way the firm is growing. Every migration is carefully planned to protect search visibility, preserve important service, team and office content and reduce disruption to enquiries, client journeys and day-to-day marketing activity.

Before any rebuild or transition begins, we review the existing site in detail so key content, functionality, integrations and SEO value are carried across correctly. Whether you’re moving to WordPress, consolidating multiple office websites or replacing a legacy platform, we create a more reliable and scalable foundation that is easier to manage, supports future development and gives your firm room to grow without losing the visibility and authority already built online.

A MODERN WORDPRESS WEBSITE FOR A MODERN LEGAL FIRM

HOW WE DELIVERED A PROFESSIONAL, ACCESSIBLE AND CLIENT-FOCUSED WEBSITE FOR CAPITAL LAW

Capital Law, a full-service commercial law firm headquartered in Cardiff, needed a website that reflected both the depth of their legal expertise and their progressive approach to client service. boxChilli was appointed to design, develop and launch a fully responsive, accessible and conversion-optimised platform, that is built to support business development, recruitment and international growth.

Built using boxChilli’s proprietary SDK, the new website delivers a sleek user experience, intuitive service navigation and long-term scalability. Custom features, such as lawyer profiles, case studies, sector-specific service pages and an international specialist directory, were developed to ensure the site meets the needs of a growing, global clientele.

OUR 7-STEP PROCESS

clear stages and no surprises

1

Discovery & Client Introduction

You’ll meet your Project Coordinator and Design & Development Lead, who will guide you through the full journey. We begin with a structured kick-off and discovery session to understand your business, goals, audience and technical requirements, while agreeing milestones, responsibilities and how the project will run from start to finish.

2

Internal Kick-Off & Planning

Your brief, sitemap and requirements are reviewed internally by our design and development teams, and the project is scheduled within our wider workflow. This stage ensures the right specialists are involved early and that design and build move forward with a clear, shared plan.

3

Homepage Design & Direction

Our in-house designers collaborate closely with you to create the homepage concept first, as this sets the visual direction, layout and tone for the rest of the website. Once you’re happy with the direction, we move confidently into designing the remaining pages and mobile layouts, keeping you involved throughout.

4

Full Design & Sign-Off

With the homepage approved, the full site design is completed and refined across all key pages. You’ll see the creative come together as a cohesive whole, with structured review points and final sign-off before development begins, ensuring consistency and clarity before anything is built.

5

Development & Build

Our developers build the website using our proprietary SDK or a tailored tech stack, carefully matching the approved designs. Templates, CMS structures, functionality and integrations are developed during this phase, with internal QA running alongside the build and content supplied in parallel to maintain momentum.

6

Content Population & Pre-Launch Checks

We populate your content, apply consistent styling and provide access to a staging environment so you can review the site in full. Once approved, our technical and SEO teams carry out detailed pre-launch checks covering performance, accessibility, redirects, security and browser testing.

7

Go Live, Training & Aftercare

Your website goes live with deployment and final checks handled by our team. Post-launch, we run tailored training sessions so your team can confidently manage the site, and we’re able to remain on hand to provide ongoing aftercare and support refinements based on real-world use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Cant find the answer you are looking for?
Get in touch and we will be happy to help

Q. Can our new website integrate with our existing legal practice management software or CRM?

A.

Yes. We regularly integrate law firm websites with legal practice management platforms, client intake systems, and CRMs such as Clio, Leap, Peppermint, and Mindbody/custom legal software. Whether you require automated enquiry routing, live chat integrations, or secure online fee-payment portals, we build custom API connections to streamline your firm’s administrative workflow.

Q. How long does it take to build a website?

A.

Most website design and development projects are completed within approximately 16 weeks, although timelines vary depending on build complexity, scope and the speed of feedback and content delivery. Clear milestones are agreed from the start, with regular updates throughout the process so you always know where the project stands and what comes next.

Q. Will our team be able to update content, insights, and fee earner profiles easily?

A.

Absolutely. We build law firm websites on intuitive, flexible Content Management Systems (CMS) tailored to your team’s workflow. We provide comprehensive training and documentation so your marketing team or fee earners can effortlessly publish legal insights, add new team members, update practice area details, or manage career listings without needing technical development skills.

Q. What is the process for feedback, revisions and approvals?

A.

Each stage of the process includes clear opportunities for feedback and approval, with agreed review points before the project progresses. Designs are shared openly for discussion and refinement, and development only begins once sign-off is in place, helping ensure changes are made collaboratively and at the right stage.

Q. What ongoing support or maintenance services do you offer after launch?

A.

Once your website goes live, we remain on hand to support it as it becomes part of your everyday operations. From post-launch aftercare to optional ongoing website support and maintenance, we help ensure the site remains secure, reliable and well maintained as your business grows and changes.

Q. Will my new website be optimised for SEO?

A.

Yes, every website we build is developed with SEO in mind from day one. That includes fast loading times, mobile-first design, clean semantic code, structured data, optimised metadata and a clear site architecture across services, sectors, fee earner profiles and office pages. If you’re migrating from another platform, we also manage redirects carefully to help preserve existing rankings and search visibility.

Q. Do I need to rebuild from scratch or can you improve my existing website?

A.

It depends on the condition of your current site and what you need it to achieve. If the foundations are strong, we can often improve speed, navigation, accessibility, enquiry journeys and content structure without starting again. If the platform is outdated, difficult to manage or restricting growth across new services, offices or integrations, a full rebuild may provide better long-term value.

Q. Can you support law firms with multiple offices?

A.

Yes. Multi-office firms need a website structure that makes locations easy to navigate without duplicating or confusing service content. We can create dedicated office journeys, local contact information and clear links between locations, solicitors and practice areas, giving prospective clients a straightforward way to find the most relevant team while supporting local SEO.

Q. Can clients pay invoices or fees through the website?

A.

Yes, where appropriate we can integrate secure payment gateways for invoice settlement, deposits, consultation fees and other online payments. These journeys can be tailored around your existing finance processes and connected with relevant systems, helping reduce friction for clients and unnecessary administration for your team.

Q. How do you approach accessibility and SRA requirements?

A.

We consider accessibility and legal-sector requirements throughout the design and development process, from navigation and readability to pricing information and other required client-facing content. We can structure websites around the information your firm needs to communicate clearly while building an accessible experience that works across devices and for a broad range of users.
