Frequently asked questions

Many of our clients are retired. How should our website be designed?

Large text, strong contrast, simple menus and a big phone number on every page. Avoid small grey text and pop-ups. We build to the WCAG accessibility standards, which helps everyone.

Should we have separate pages for Leigh-on-Sea and Westcliff?

Only if you have an office there or something genuinely local to say. One strong Southend page is better than three thin ones.

How competitive is Southend for law firms online?

Not very. As of October 2026 there are around 41 law firms, solicitors and lawyers within 6km on Google Maps, so a firm with a strong website and Google profile can stand out.

Should our website speak to adult children as well as older clients?

Yes. Many enquiries for wills, LPAs and probate come from sons and daughters. A short section written for them helps.

Is accessibility a legal requirement for our website?

Law firms have duties under the Equality Act to make services accessible. A website built to recognised accessibility standards is a sensible way to meet clients' needs; your firm should take its own advice on the legal position.
