Why only law firms
Law firm websites have a particular set of problems. The readers are often under stress. The content is advertising, so it has to meet professional conduct rules as well as consumer law. Some practice areas carry extra advertising limits. Profiles have to get accreditation wording exactly right. Enquiry forms touch on confidentiality and conflicts. A studio that works across every industry can learn these things project by project; we would rather build our whole process around them.
How we work
- Plain language first. Pages explain the process, timing and costs in words a client can follow.
- Accuracy over adjectives. We would rather say "has practised family law in Perth since 2012" than "leading family lawyer". Claims that need evidence are flagged for the firm to decide on.
- Accessibility from the first sketch. Contrast, headings, labels and keyboard use are part of the design, tested against WCAG 2.2 Level AA.
- Privacy by default. Short forms, collection notices, authenticated email and no unnecessary tracking.
- The firm owns everything. Domain, content and files belong to the firm, and we hand them over without fuss.
- Written scope, fixed price. You know what you are getting and what it costs before work starts.
What we do not do
We do not sell link schemes, guaranteed rankings, fake reviews or bulk suburb pages. We do not write testimonials. We do not claim results we cannot show. These are the same standards our guides recommend to firms.
The guides
Our resources explain how rules and standards affect law firm websites: advertising under Rule 36, personal injury limits, accredited specialist wording, reviews, privacy, spam and accessibility. They are edited by Sophia Turner, cite their sources, and show the date they were last checked. The editorial policy explains how we research and correct them.
Who we work with
Our process is designed for practices of one to forty lawyers: sole practitioners, small and mid-sized firms, and barristers' chambers. We can work remotely with firms anywhere in Australia.
Commercial interests
The owner of Lawquendrix has commercial interests in web design services. We say so because our guides are meant to be useful whether or not you ever hire us, and readers deserve to know who is writing them.
