For solicitors in England and Wales

Websites for high-street solicitors, built around what the SRA asks your site to show.

Your prices, your complaints route and your SRA number, where a stranger looks for them, and a phone number they can ring. I design, write and build the whole site, for one fixed price: US$7,500.

We talk on video before you pay anything.

The proof, and what it is not

No solicitor client yet. Here is the nearest thing.

I have not built a solicitor’s site yet. I have built one for a licensed immigration adviser in Tauranga, New Zealand, whose regulator polices what advisers say, and it runs today. Open it yourself. The red notes are my reasons.

NZ Visa Immigration Services’ home page on a laptop: ‘Straight answers on your New Zealand visa, from a licensed adviser’, with the adviser’s name and licence number near the top.
Live now nzvisaimmigration.co.nz (opens in a new tab) Marked on the film: ‘Licensed’ comes before her name, and before any promise. Her licence number, one tap from the public register. Six visa pathways, a page each, in the words people search. The adviser herself: named, pictured, credentials listed. Four plain steps, from the first call to a lodged application. WhatsApp or call, and the first consultation is free.

One licensed adviser, up against operators who promise what she legally cannot. So her licence number sits near the top of the home page, beside her name, with the public register one tap away, and it closes every one of the twelve pages. Nothing on the site promises an outcome. The first phone consultation is free, and the fees page gives a starting figure.

A regulator, a public register, and prices on the page. What travels to a solicitor’s site is the mechanism.

Your version is below: what the SRA’s Transparency Rules ask a firm’s site to show, five checks to run on your own, and two studies of a high-street firm.

The licence line in the first screen of nzvisaimmigration.co.nz: Sakshi Vij Sekhon, Licensed Immigration Adviser. IAA licence 202001106. Check it on the public IAA register.

Her number, and where to check it

Her home page, first screen
The last lines of every page of nzvisaimmigration.co.nz: Immigration New Zealand makes the final decision on every visa application, and no outcome is guaranteed.

Who decides, and nothing promised

The foot of every page

“I was expecting to spend the whole time explaining what an adviser is not allowed to say. I did not have to. Aditya had read the rules before the first call, and the site he wrote puts my licence number where anyone can check it in one tap, rather than burying it in a footer. Twelve pages, eight working days, and he was a day early.

The one thing I would say to anyone else: he will ask you a lot of questions at the start, and the whole schedule depends on you answering them quickly.”

Sakshi Vij Sekhon · Licensed immigration adviser, NZ Visa Immigration Services, Tauranga

The SRA’s Transparency Rules

What the SRA asks your website to show.

Four things, in the SRA’s own words, and how a site shows each one. The SRA checks: by October 2024 it had issued 439 official warnings and 36 fixed penalties over these rules since May 2023, and more than 500 firms had changed their sites.

Prices, for the work the rules name

Rules 1.1, 1.3 and 1.4

If your site says you offer any of these, it must publish cost information for them. For people: buying, selling or re-mortgaging a home; probate where the estate is in the UK and nobody contests it; immigration applications and First-tier Tribunal appeals (not asylum); summary-only motoring offences at a single hearing; and an employee’s claim for unfair or wrongful dismissal. For businesses: defending those claims, debt recovery up to £100,000, and licensing applications.

On the site. A page of prices for each of these you offer, one tap from the first screen. Not a PDF in the footer.

What a price has to say

Rules 1.5 and 1.6

The total cost, or an average or range where that is not practicable; the basis, such as hourly rates or fixed fees; the experience and qualifications of whoever does the work, and of their supervisor; the likely disbursements and their cost; whether VAT applies, and how much; what the price includes, with the key stages and likely timescales, and what it does not. Clear, accessible and in a prominent place.

On the site. Each fee page in that order, so a reader can tick every item off. Your figures, my words, your approval.

Complaints, and the Legal Ombudsman

Rule 2.1

Publish your complaints handling procedure, including how and when a complaint can be made to the Legal Ombudsman and to the SRA.

On the site. One page, in plain words, linked from the foot of every page, with both routes and when each one opens.

Your SRA number and the badge

Rules 4.1 and 4.2

Display your SRA number and the SRA’s digital badge in a prominent place on your website. Your letterhead and emails carry your authorisation number and the words “authorised and regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority”.

On the site. The number and the badge in the first screen, not only the footer. The SRA supplies the badge as a piece of code, through its partner Yoshki. It shows only on a domain your firm has registered in mySRA, and a tap opens the SRA’s own page confirming the firm is regulated. It is the one thing on the page that comes from elsewhere, allowed because the rule asks for it.

SRA Transparency Rules, the version in effect from 11 April 2025, as read on 25 September 2026. The figures on warnings and fines: Law Society Gazette, 2 October 2024. This is what the rules say and how a site can show them; it is not legal advice, and your firm’s COLP has the last word.

Five checks

Check your own site before you speak to anyone.

Open it on your phone and tick each one it already passes. Every site I build is built to pass all five.

If your site passes all five, you don’t need a new one, and I would rather say so than sell you one. Or send it to me for a free review

Two studies

How I would start on a high-street firm.

A first screen and a fees page, drawn as boxes, for a firm that does not exist. Nobody asked for them and nobody paid for them. They show how I read a firm’s rules before I draw anything.

A study, not a client

A high-street firm’s first screen

Unsolicited, and made up: Hartley & Crane, a two-partner firm in Stockport, the same invented firm as the specimen scope. Drawn from the SRA’s Transparency Rules, not from anyone’s site.

  1. What you do and where, for the person moving house or sorting out a parent’s estate. Buying and selling homes, wills and probate, in Stockport; not “a full-service law firm”.
  2. Your SRA number and the badge, before the first button (rule 4.1).
  3. Conveyancing and probate fees, one tap away (rules 1.1 and 1.6). Not a PDF in the footer.
  4. Call, with who answers and when. Most people ringing a solicitor want a voice before a form.
  5. Complaints and the Legal Ombudsman, from the foot of every page (rule 2.1).

A study, not a client

The same firm’s conveyancing fees

Unsolicited, and made up, like the first. The order follows rule 1.5, so a reader, or the SRA, can tick each item off. The figures are blank: they are the firm’s to set.

  1. The total for a typical purchase, or a range, first (rule 1.5a).
  2. The basis: a fixed fee, what it covers and what it does not (rules 1.5b and 1.5f). A leasehold or a new build, if they cost more, said here and not at completion.
  3. The disbursements, each with its cost or range, and the VAT on what attracts it (rules 1.5d and 1.5e).
  4. The stages, from instruction to completion, and how long each usually takes (rule 1.5f).
  5. Who does the work, their experience, and who supervises them (rule 1.5c). With their photographs.

The price

US$7,500

The whole site: structure, every word, design and a custom-coded build. Fixed, and agreed in writing first.

Up to 12 pages; an extra page is US$400, writing included. Most sites take six to nine weeks from the Site plan to launch, including your review time.

How you pay

An ordinary bank transfer in your own currency (US dollars, pounds, euros, Canadian dollars and more) to a local account in your country; no international wire. Or by Wise. In New Zealand and the Gulf, you pay in US dollars by bank transfer or Wise. Or by card, through the link on your invoice.

Your price in your currency is fixed on the day you sign.

Questions

What solicitors ask first.

I’ve never met you, and you’re in India. Why would a law firm send you money?

You will have met me first: we talk on video before any money moves. Then the first payment is US$750, about £570, for a Site plan in writing within 10 working days: yours to keep, and credited in full to the build. You read the plan before you book the build, and see the design before you pay for it.

Do you know the SRA’s rules?

I read them before the first call, and this page links each rule to its source. What I don’t do is give legal advice, or write anything that amounts to it. You and your COLP approve every word, and compliance stays with your firm, because it cannot be anyone else’s.

Who writes the fee pages?

I do, from your figures and your answers: the total or a range, what is included and what is not, the disbursements, VAT, the stages and how long each takes, and who does the work. I never invent a fee, a review or a result. Where a figure is yours to decide, the page waits for it.

Is there a solicitor I can ring for a reference?

Not yet, and I would rather say so than let you find out. My regulated client is a licensed immigration adviser in New Zealand, who will tell you what it was like. The first firms I build for in the UK become the references for the next.

How do I pay, and what about VAT?

By an ordinary bank transfer in pounds to a local UK account, so there is no international wire, or by Wise. Your price in pounds is fixed on the day you sign. A business customer in the UK accounts for any VAT itself, under the reverse charge; the specimen invoice shows how it is set out. Ask your accountant how it applies to your firm.

Can we speak, rather than write?

Yes, and before you pay anything: half an hour on video. Calls start between 11:00 and 14:00 London time on weekdays (10:00 and 13:00 in winter), plus Thursday at 15:00 (14:00 in winter): see the times in yours.

What happens after it goes live?

Thirty days of fixes and small changes are included. After that, Care is US$150 a month if you want it: the site watched, anything broken fixed, up to an hour of changes a month and a short note each month. Small changes start at US$100, priced in writing first. Hosting is billed to you by the host.

When we can talk

A call in your working day.

Calls start between 11:00 and 14:00 London time on weekdays (10:00 and 13:00 in winter), plus Thursday at 15:00 (14:00 in winter). The list below works them out in your own time.
