Websites for family law firms
A family law website is read by people at a difficult moment, often late at night and in private. It works when it answers the first practical questions plainly, explains what happens next without legal jargon, and offers a discreet, low-pressure way to make contact that respects someone who may not be ready to talk.

The first question
“How do I start a divorce, and what happens with the children?”
Someone at the start of a separation, reading late at night.
How clients choose a family law firm online
Most family enquiries start with a question rather than a firm's name: how to start a divorce, what happens to the house, where the children will live. People read several pages before they decide whether to call anyone, so the website does much of the early reassurance that used to happen in a first meeting.
Tone matters as much as information. Aggressive or triumphant language puts off the clients most firms want, and a site that looks like every other firm's gives no reason to choose it. Privacy also shapes the enquiry: some visitors need to know nothing will be sent to a shared address or phone.
What a family law page needs

Design decisions, and why
- Discreet design and a quick-exit link respect people reading in difficult circumstances.
- Explanation comes before the form, so visitors understand their options first.
- Contact preferences are asked for, because a phone call isn't always safe or welcome.
Main website or a separate site?
Usually the main website.
Clients choose a family solicitor for trust and reputation, which the main site carries. A separate site can make sense for a distinct service, such as fixed-fee divorce, with its own audience.
Specialist enquiry sitesWhat the SRA rules require
The SRA Transparency Rules do not list family matters among the services that require published prices, though many family firms choose to explain how they charge. Whatever the area, every SRA-authorised firm must publish its complaints procedure, including how and when a complaint can go to the Legal Ombudsman and the SRA (rule 2.1), and display its SRA number and the SRA digital badge prominently (rule 4.1).

Full guide to the Transparency RulesWhat we don't promise
No one can guarantee rankings, enquiries or mentions in AI answers, and we don't. We build a site that is clear, compliant, fast and easy for search engines and AI tools to understand, and we're candid about what that can and can't do.
Questions firms ask
Should a family law firm publish its fees?
It isn't required by the SRA Transparency Rules for family work, but explaining how the firm charges (fixed-fee initial meetings, hourly rates, typical ranges) usually builds trust with people worried about cost. We help firms decide what they are comfortable publishing.
How should a family law website handle privacy?
By saying plainly how an enquiry will be handled, asking only for what is needed to respond, and letting the visitor choose how they are contacted. Some people are reading on a shared device, so a quick-exit option can also be appropriate on certain pages.
Does family law need a separate website?
Usually not. Family clients often choose on the firm's reputation and the people they will deal with, so a strong family section of the main website is normally the better route. A separate site can make sense for a distinct offer, such as fixed-fee divorce.
