How Global Village Studio Designed a Modern, Professional Website for a Leading Solicitors Firm
Client Overview
Company: Slater and Gordon Solicitors
Industry: Legal Services
Website: www.slatergordon.co.uk
Slater and Gordon is one of the UK’s most well-known law firms, with a long-standing reputation for excellence in personal injury, family law, employment, and various legal services. With their continued growth and evolving clientele, they recognized the need to modernize their online presence to match their prestige and the expectations of today’s digital users.
That’s where Global Village Studio came in.
Project Goals of Website Redesign
When Slater and Gordon approached us, they had clear objectives:
- Modernize their website design while retaining a professional and trustworthy appearance.
- Improve user experience (UX), ensuring ease of navigation across legal services.
- Optimize for mobile devices and deliver faster loading speeds.
- Enhance lead generation with optimized forms and clear calls-to-action (CTAs).
- Build a scalable platform to accommodate future growth and content expansion.
They needed a website that would not only look exceptional but also perform exceptionally.
Our Approach
At Global Village Studio, we follow a collaborative, strategy-first approach to web design. For Slater and Gordon, we designed a full project roadmap broken into phases:
1. Discovery and Strategy
We started by holding discovery sessions with their team to understand their business goals, audience personas, and technical requirements. Competitive research and user journey mapping were integral to planning the ideal website flow.
2. UI/UX Design
Our designers created high-fidelity wireframes and prototypes, emphasizing:
- Professional color palettes (deep blues, clean whites) to communicate trust and authority.
- Intuitive navigation menus, making it easy for users to find legal services and contact options.
- Clear CTAs on every service page to encourage inquiries.
3. Development
Using WordPress CMS with a fully custom theme, we developed the site with the following features:
- Mobile-first responsive design across all pages.
- SEO-optimized structure for better search visibility.
- Speed optimization, ensuring the site scored high on Core Web Vitals.
- Secure contact and inquiry forms with GDPR compliance.
4. Content Optimization
We collaborated with their marketing team to present legal content in a more accessible and reader-friendly way, ensuring clients could understand complex topics easily.
5. Testing and Launch
Rigorous QA testing was performed across browsers and devices before the final launch. We also provided post-launch support to ensure a smooth transition.
