The business and the goal
- Business
- Holloway Pryce is an invented law firm advising private clients on conveyancing, wills, probate and family matters, and local businesses on property, employment and disputes. Many of its clients contact a solicitor only once or twice in their lives, often at a stressful time, so the website has to be clear before it is clever.
- Goal
- Target: more enquiries that arrive with the right details and reach the right team the first time.
- Pages designed
- Homepage (shown here)
- Planned in the brief: service pages for each area of law, fees and service information, people, complaints and contact
What the design solves
Law firm websites often list every area of law in one long menu and hide the cost of a service until a phone call. Clients searching for a solicitor in Chester want to know quickly whether the firm handles their problem, roughly what it will cost and what happens when they get in touch.
The homepage splits services into two clear doors, for you and for your business, and gives fees and service information its own place in the main navigation. The SRA expects firms to publish price and service information for certain services and to show their regulatory details, so the design builds them in from the start: fixed fees with what they exclude, and a plain statement of who regulates the firm and how to complain.
The choices behind it
Two front doors
People and businesses look for different things, so each gets its own column of services from the homepage.
Fees in the main menu
A “Fees” link sits in the top navigation and a fees panel sits on the homepage, rather than a link buried in the footer.
What happens next
A short three-step panel explains the first call, which matters most to someone who has never instructed a solicitor.
Regulation in plain words
The firm’s regulator is named in the top bar and again in a bordered block in the footer, set at full contrast beside the complaints procedure, so it reads as information a client can use rather than fine print.
Ink and cobalt
A dark ink navy with a single cobalt accent, a readable serif for headings and a plain sans for body text keep the tone serious without feeling cold.
