For solicitors & law firms

Solicitor websites that tell clients what happens next

We build law firm websites that explain each process step by step, give instant quotes for routine work and say when clients will hear back. Plus small tools that take ID checks and status updates off your fee earners.

Every matter · a clear next step
the real issue

What clients complain about

Often it's not knowing what happens next. The website can set expectations early, and small tools can keep clients updated during the matter.

The wait
Clients chase when nobody has told them what happens next, or when.
The jargon
Exchange, requisitions, grant of probate. Words that mean nothing to a first-time client and make a firm feel unreachable.
The silence
A matter with no visible next step feels stalled, even when it's moving. Silence is what gets read as bad news.

Legal Ombudsman complaints lean heavily on service and communication rather than the quality of the legal work. So this page is about staying in touch, on the website and during the matter.

the site

What a solicitor's website needs

This is Marchmont & Pike, an accountancy concept we built to show the standard. The structure is the same for a law firm. Hover over it and it scrolls through itself.

  • A reply promise, in writing

    Say when you'll respond, and who from, so clients know what to expect before they ring.

  • Instant quotes for the routine work

    Conveyancing and probate priced on the spot, on the page.

  • Each process, step by step

    A page per service that says what happens and when, so the usual status questions are answered before anyone rings.

  • The team, with faces and names

    Faces, names and real credentials, so clients know who they're instructing.

Marchmont & Pike is a concept, not a real firm. Yours would use your own services, team and fees.

example plan

An example automation plan for solicitors

Three jobs a review usually finds for a business like yours, in the order we'd do them. Each is a small build. Yours will differ, which is what the review is for.

The "any update?" call

Job 1 · today

Fee earners get interrupted all day by clients asking where their matter is. Every call breaks billable work, and the answer is usually "nothing's changed yet," which the client can't see for themselves.

What we'd build

A client-facing matter tracker: a simple "where things are" page showing the current stage and what's next, updated in a click. Clients can check progress without ringing.

Ask about the matter tracker

Onboarding and ID checks

Job 2 · today

New instructions mean ID and source-of-funds checks by post and PDF, chased like everything else, plus client-care and engagement letters retyped and reissued by hand each time.

What we'd build

One onboarding flow: enquiry, ID and document capture, then a templated client-care letter out for e-sign. It lands in the case management system you already run, so nothing gets keyed twice.

Ask about client onboarding

Chasing the other side

Job 3 · today

The other firm, the lender, the management company, the court. All chased by hand, matter by matter, with nothing to show the client for the wait but another quiet week.

What we'd build

A chase log that tracks who each matter is waiting on and nudges on a schedule, plus a line the client sees, so a delay outside your control reads as "we're on it".

Ask about the chase log

not sure where to start

If none of these is obviously first, the automation review is £395: 90 minutes with Chris and a written plan of the jobs worth automating, in order. Go ahead with a build within 60 days and the £395 comes off it.

working together

How it works

Four steps, from the first call to looking after the site.

A quick call

Thirty minutes. Chris looks at your current site and how enquiries and matters run, then tells you where there's a quick win and where there isn't.

We build a demo

You see a real, clickable version of the site and the first tool, with your firm's name and colours on it.

We connect it to your systems

It connects to the case management you already run, Clio, LEAP, Actionstep or similar, plus your existing ID and accounts tools. Nothing that works gets rebuilt.

Looked after every month

It stays quick, current and compliant as the SRA rules and the work move. Changes are part of the monthly price.

what it costs

Prices for solicitors

Rather pay once? Builds start at £595. All the options are on the pricing page, and we'll tell you if a smaller one fits.

Get in touch

On a thirty-minute call, Chris will tell you what we'd build, what it would cost and whether it's worth doing at all. If your current site only needs tidying, he'll say so.
