Services · Website development · Law firm websites
Codeeo delivers law firm website development in the UK for national practices, regional firms with several branches, legal groups built through acquisition, chambers and alternative business structures. We plan sites that handle more than one jurisdiction and regulator, publish the transparency and complaints information each one requires, and let clients anywhere in the country find the right office, lawyer and service in a few clicks.
We work with UK firms remotely, holding discovery, design reviews and editor training by video call, with every decision confirmed in writing. The finished site is owned by the firm and run by its own marketing team.

What the website includes
The UK has three legal jurisdictions and several regulators. A firm regulated by the SRA in England and Wales must show its digital badge and explain the Legal Ombudsman route; a Scottish practice answers to the Law Society of Scotland and the Scottish Legal Complaints Commission; Northern Ireland solicitors are regulated by the Law Society of Northern Ireland. Barristers' chambers follow Bar Standards Board rules, and licensed conveyancers follow the Council for Licensed Conveyancers. A firm operating across these lines needs a website that keeps each set of obligations accurate without confusing the client.
On top of that sit rules that apply to every firm: UK GDPR and the ICO's guidance, PECR for cookies and marketing, the Equality Act and WCAG 2.2 for accessibility, Companies House disclosures for incorporated firms and LLPs, and consumer law for clients who instruct online. Our law firm website design in the UK treats these as part of the architecture, not as footer links added at the end.
Service pages that show the right process for the client's location: probate in England and Wales, executries and confirmation in Scotland, and the equivalent steps in Northern Ireland. A location choice or office link sets the context, and each version is maintained separately in the CMS. Lawyers in each office can also be filtered by the jurisdictions they are qualified in.
Clients read guidance that applies to them, not to another jurisdiction.
Reusable components for the SRA badge and number, Law Society of Scotland and Law Society of Northern Ireland statements, BSB wording for chambers and CLC details for licensed conveyancers, placed automatically on the pages and offices they belong to.
Each office shows the correct regulator without manual checking.
An office finder with search by postcode or town, a page for every branch with its own team and services, LegalService structured data and consistent details matched to each Google Business Profile. Branch editors can update local team photos and news without touching shared service content.
Every location can rank in its own area while sharing one brand.
Structured pages for the services the SRA Transparency Rules cover, such as residential conveyancing, probate, employment tribunal claims and immigration, with fees, inclusions, disbursements and timescales edited in fields rather than free text so updates stay consistent across offices. A review date on each pricing page reminds editors when figures need checking.
Required price information is accurate everywhere at once.
Quote tools for fixed fee work that include every mandatory charge in the headline price, as the drip pricing rules in the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 require. Where online payment of money on account is needed, checkout uses a provider that supports Strong Customer Authentication.
Quotes clients can trust and the firm can defend.
For consumers who instruct online, the acceptance flow presents terms of business, explains the cancellation right under the Consumer Contracts Regulations and records a request to start work early. Business clients follow a shorter route.
Online instructions meet consumer law from the first click.
One enquiry system that sends each message to the right office and department based on location, matter type and urgency, records the source page and campaign, and passes the details to your CRM or case management platform. Reports show which offices and services produce instructions, which helps decide where marketing budget goes next.
National marketing produces local, trackable enquiries.
Roles and permissions so branch staff edit their own office pages, fee earners draft articles and central marketing approves anything that touches pricing, regulation or brand. Every change is logged with who made it and when.
Many contributors, one controlled site.
Where a firm serves clients in Wales and chooses to offer Welsh, we build bilingual page pairs with correct language tags. Other languages can be added for the communities your offices serve, page by page.
Clients can read key pages in their preferred language.
Company or LLP name, registered number and office shown as trading disclosure rules require, a PECR compliant consent banner, a UK GDPR privacy notice and templates tested against WCAG 2.2 AA. Accessibility statements are drafted for your review.
Legal basics handled once, correctly, for the whole site.
Who this is for
A national site has to balance brand consistency with local relevance and regulatory accuracy. The right structure depends on how the business is organised: by office, by practice, by jurisdiction or by brand. We map that first, because it decides the URL structure, the CMS roles and how enquiries are routed long before any design work starts. Firms that skip this step often end up with branches editing copies of the same page, prices that disagree and enquiries that go nowhere.
A firm with offices in England and Scotland, or in Northern Ireland as well, needs separate guidance, separate regulator statements and separate complaints routes, all under one brand. We design content models where a service exists in each jurisdiction as its own version, linked to the right offices, so a client in Glasgow never reads English probate guidance by accident.
Jurisdiction is a content decision, not a translation.
Groups that have bought several regional firms often run several old websites with different designs and promises. We plan the consolidation: one structure, a page for every acquired office, retained local names where they carry trust, and redirects from every old domain so search value moves across rather than disappearing. We also retire duplicate service pages so the group stops competing with itself in search.
Redirect planning protects years of local search history.
High volume consumer firms compete on clarity and speed. They need instant quotes, transparent pricing, online instruction with cancellation information, and progress updates handled through a client portal linked from the site. We build the website side and the integration points, so quotes and instructions arrive in the case management system ready to work. Fixed fee pages and quotes can show the same price information, reducing the risk of contradictions.
Chambers serving several circuits, alternative business structures and referral networks have their own structures and rules. We build member or partner directories with search by area, location and seniority, show the regulatory statements that apply to each, and keep editing simple for clerks and practice managers who update the site alongside their main work. Public access information is added for chambers whose members accept instructions directly from the public.
Working together
A typical national project is delivered as a fixed scope build, sometimes split into phases by region or brand, followed by a retainer for new offices, pricing updates and search work. Groups with continuing integration, portal or acquisition work often prefer a dedicated team. We operate remotely from our offices in Dubai, Riyadh and Karachi, with written scope, a shared tracker and named contacts for central marketing and compliance. Each phase has its own written acceptance criteria, so the business can approve one region before the next begins.
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
For national sites we usually recommend a headless CMS with Next.js, or WordPress with a structured content model, and Laravel for quote engines and integrations. The choice depends on editor numbers, governance needs and the systems already in place. Hosting is placed in the UK or EU by agreement with your data protection officer.

Several regulators, jurisdictions and consumer rules at once.
A legal site must show the correct regulator for each office, publish transparency and complaints information, handle price display fairly, respect consumer cancellation rights for online instructions and protect sensitive enquiry data. Firms across jurisdictions must also keep guidance separate for England and Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. We build those requirements into templates so editors cannot easily get them wrong. The same templates make annual reviews faster, because a single change to a pricing field or regulator block updates every page that uses it.
