Services · Website development · Law firm websites
Codeeo handles law firm website development in London for solicitor practices, barristers' chambers and specialist boutiques, from the City and Holborn to firms serving a single borough. We build the practice area pages, lawyer profiles, insight library and enquiry routing that a London firm competes on, with the SRA transparency material and complaints information placed where regulators and clients expect to find them.
Our team works with London firms remotely, running discovery, design reviews and training by video call. You get a site your marketing and business development staff can update themselves, built to rank in a crowded city and to turn a reader into a qualified enquiry that lands with the right partner.

What the website includes
A general counsel in Canary Wharf, a family moving house in Lewisham and an investor abroad buying a Mayfair flat all research a firm the same way: they search, compare two or three sites, read a partner's profile and decide whether to call. The site has to answer them quickly and look like the firm they would want acting for them.
London is also where competition for legal search terms is fiercest. Large firms publish heavily, directories rank above individual practices, and comparison sites take the generic queries. So we plan the site around specialist topics where your lawyers have something to say, structured so search engines understand who does what and where. Every feature below is something we decide with you in discovery rather than a fixed package, and the order changes with your practice mix.
A custom law firm website development London firms can rely on also needs an editing experience that suits lawyers: simple fields, approval steps and no risk of breaking a layout.
Each practice area gets a hub page linking to its sub services, sector pages, relevant lawyers and recent insight. A real estate hub might branch into development, leasehold enfranchisement and landlord and tenant, each with its own page instead of a single paragraph.
Visitors and search engines see the depth of each team.
Profiles with admissions, languages, sectors, notable matter types described without client names, publications and a direct enquiry button. Editors update them in minutes when someone joins, is promoted or moves office.
Clients choose a person, and the profile helps them do it.
The SRA digital badge and number, complaints procedure with Legal Ombudsman details, and price and service pages for areas such as residential conveyancing, probate or employment tribunal claims. For chambers, the Bar Standards Board wording, pricing models and public access guidance link.
Transparency obligations are met without cluttering the design.
Articles, briefings and case comment filtered by practice, sector and author, with newsletter sign up that records consent under PECR and UK GDPR. Lawyers can draft in the CMS and send to marketing for approval before anything goes live.
Knowledge becomes search traffic and a mailing list you own.
Forms that ask for the other party's name, the matter type and urgency, then route to the right team inbox or CRM queue. Nothing confidential is requested before a retainer, and the form says so plainly. A short warning about payment fraud reminds clients that your bank details will never change by email.
Business development sees sorted enquiries, and conflict checks start earlier.
Key pages in the languages your London clients actually speak, such as Arabic, Mandarin or Russian, with correct hreflang tags and right to left layouts where needed. We translate selected pages, not the whole site, unless the work justifies it.
Overseas clients find a firm that already speaks to them.
Separate pages for each London office, consistent name, address and phone details, and structured data for LegalService and Attorney types, so a firm in Holborn and a branch in Croydon both show in local results.
Each office earns its own visibility in maps and local results.
Pages for breakfast briefings, webinars and in house training sessions, with registration forms, calendar files and automatic reminders sent from your own email platform. Past sessions can stay online as recordings or slide summaries, so the effort behind each event keeps attracting readers.
Client events fill without spreadsheets.
Training contract, SQE and vacation scheme pages, live vacancies fed from your recruitment system, and profiles of current trainees written by them. Lateral hire pages for partners and associates sit alongside, with a confidential expression of interest form routed only to HR.
Graduate recruitment has a home that reflects the firm's culture.
UK or EU hosting chosen with you, a content delivery network, automatic backups, web application firewall rules and two factor sign in for every editor. Pages are built to pass Core Web Vitals on a mobile connection, which matters when a client reads your profile on the Tube between meetings.
A fast site that stays online and keeps editor accounts protected.
Who this is for
The right website for a City LLP has little in common with the right site for a high street practice in Ealing. Size, client type and how instructions arrive all change the architecture, so we start by asking how your best clients found you over the last year, what they read before calling and which enquiries your team would rather not receive. The answers shape navigation, forms and the tone of every page.
Your clients are general counsel, finance directors and founders who compare panels. They want sector knowledge, partner credibility and fast access to the right contact. We build sector and practice hubs, rich profiles, an insight library and deal and case announcements written without breaching confidentiality, plus a clean route into your CRM for business development tracking.
Profiles and insight do most of the selling here.
Individuals in Hackney, Richmond or Bromley usually search with a problem in mind: buying a leasehold flat, a divorce, a will. They need clear pages, published prices where the SRA requires them, honest explanations of what affects cost, and an easy way to call or book a first conversation. We write the structure around those questions.
Clarity and reassurance beat a long services list.
Chambers sites need member profiles, clerk contacts, practice group pages and the BSB transparency content, including the homepage regulation statement and a link to the public access guidance where members accept public access work. Solicitors use these sites to shortlist counsel quickly, so search by practice area and call year, downloadable CVs and direct clerk details matter more than marketing copy. We also make it simple for clerks to mark members as available for new instructions.
A specialist immigration, employment or regulatory boutique can outrank larger firms on narrow topics. We build a lean site that can grow, with a strong publishing workflow and local search set up for the office address from the start, so you are not rebuilding in two years. If you are a spin out from a larger London firm, we plan the launch so announcement pages, profiles and the new SRA details go live on the day the firm opens.
Working together
Most firms commission a fixed scope rebuild, then keep a small monthly retainer for new pages, updates and search work. Firms with a programme of client portals, intranets or integrations alongside the website sometimes take a dedicated team for a longer period. Every option is run remotely from our offices, with written scope, named contacts and a shared tracker so your marketing manager always knows what is in progress, what is waiting for partner approval and what has gone live.
A defined build with a deadline
We agree what the product has to do, write it down with a price and a date, and build exactly that. Changes are priced before they are made, not discovered on the invoice.
A product that keeps evolving
Named engineers who work your hours, join your standups and stay on the codebase. You direct the backlog; we own the quality of what ships.
Something live that needs looking after
A monthly block of hours for improvements, fixes and the small requests that otherwise wait months. Unused hours carry for a quarter.
Technology
We choose between WordPress, a headless CMS with Next.js, or a custom Laravel build based on how many editors you have, how much content you publish and which practice management and CRM systems the site must talk to. The choice is explained in plain terms, so the firm understands what it is committing to maintain.

It depends on page count, content readiness and integrations more than design.
A boutique with a handful of practice areas and ready profiles moves quickly. A multi office firm with hundreds of insight articles, several languages and a CRM link takes longer, mainly because content approval and migration need partner time. We give you a written schedule after discovery, with the points where the firm's own review is needed marked clearly, and we agree a launch window that avoids your busiest periods such as financial year end or a merger announcement.
