A general counsel or company director looking for outside attorneys in Sandton does their homework first, and they quietly measure your site against the commercial heavyweights a few blocks away on Rivonia Road and Alice Lane. We build boutique and mid-size firm websites that put the Fidelity Fund Certificate, partner credentials and a clear practice structure in front of that reader before they decide whether you make the shortlist.
Clients cannot verify a firm's legitimacy without the Fidelity Fund Certificate number. Its absence triggers doubt before the first call is made.
A client needing conveyancing and a client needing labour law are different buyers. One undifferentiated services list makes both feel like they came to the wrong place.
Several of South Africa's largest commercial firms are headquartered in the Sandton CBD, and their sites set the bar a corporate buyer carries in their head. A ten-attorney practice in Morningside or Bryanston can out-serve them on a share sale or a restraint dispute, but a dated one-page site tells a JSE-listed client's legal team the opposite before anyone has spoken.
WhatsApp us your Fidelity Fund Certificate number, the partners' admission years, your practice groups and the sectors you act for. Matter names and client lists stay with you.
Within 48 hours a working site appears at a private link: practice group pages, partner profiles and a corporate-client section, ready for your partners to mark up before anything is paid.
Once the partners sign off, the site goes live with hosting, SEO structure and monthly edits on a month-to-month plan from R1,200. New hires and practice changes get updated without a fresh project.
The Fidelity Fund Certificate number and Legal Practice Council enrolment appear in the header area, the footer and each practice group page, so verification never needs an email.
Corporate and M&A, commercial litigation, labour, tax disputes and property finance each get a page that speaks the language an in-house lawyer uses when briefing out.
B-BBEE level, professional indemnity cover and supplier-onboarding contacts collected on one page, which is what a corporate legal panel review asks for first.
Each partner gets admission year, specialisation and the kinds of matters they lead, written so a director can tell in a minute who should run their file.
Wills, estates, antenuptial contracts and divorce for Bryanston and Morningside families sit in their own section, warm in tone, away from the corporate pages.
Sandton law firm page formula
Sandton is Africa's financial hub, so the reader has seen the big-firm websites. Layout, typography and partner photography are built to hold up against that benchmark, not a generic attorney template.
When a legal team narrows three firms down to one, it rereads the sites side by side. Sector experience, partner depth and response route are laid out so yours wins that second read.
Corporate instructions and family-office or private-client matters move at different speeds. Each has its own path, so neither audience has to translate copy meant for the other.
"The smaller Sandton firms I speak to are usually brilliant lawyers with websites that undersell them. A corporate client will never tell you they skipped you because the site looked thin. They just brief someone else. My job is to close that gap before it costs you the mandate."
A procurement or legal-ops reviewer finds the B-BBEE level, indemnity cover and Fidelity Fund details on one page, instead of requesting them and waiting while a competitor's onboarding pack is already complete.
Partner profiles that name the matters each attorney actually leads let an in-house lawyer route a restraint-of-trade dispute or a shareholder agreement to the right person, so the first conversation is substantive.
A Bryanston couple drafting wills or a Morningside family winding up an estate reach a section written for them, rather than scrolling past M&A language to find out whether the firm handles their kind of matter at all.
On the page, yes. A corporate reader judges clarity, credentials and depth, not headcount. We give a boutique firm partner profiles, practice group pages and a panel section that answer the same questions a large firm's site does, and usually more directly. We cannot promise rankings, but we can remove the reasons a site looks smaller than the firm.
Clients and legal panels increasingly check it before instructing, so hiding it costs trust. We place the Fidelity Fund Certificate number and Legal Practice Council enrolment near the top of the homepage, in the footer and on each practice group page. You update it each year when the new certificate is issued, and we handle the edit as part of the monthly plan.
Yes. Growth and Enterprise sites include a panel and procurement page that gathers your B-BBEE level, indemnity cover, LSSA membership and a named onboarding contact. Sandton corporates often run formal panel reviews, and having those facts on one page shortens that process instead of starting an email chain.
The site is factual, not boastful: credentials, practice areas, partner experience and contact routes. We avoid comparative claims about other firms, guaranteed outcomes and anything that reads as touting. You and your partners approve every line in the demo before it goes live, so the final word on professional conduct stays with you.
First contact is WhatsApp or a short call request with a clear note not to send matter details until a consultation is formally opened. No client files or names are needed to build the site, and nothing on it references actual matters unless you have the client's permission to publish.
Five checks. Be honest, it takes under a minute, and it is the same list we run on every law firm demo before it goes to the partners.
No deposit before the demo. Hosting, maintenance, edits, and support stay included monthly.
All prices ex VAT. Month-to-month. Cancel anytime. See the full pricing breakdown for what's included at every tier.
Send your Fidelity Fund Certificate number, practice groups and partner list on WhatsApp, and a site built to stand next to the big Sandton CBD firms lands at a private link within 48 hours.
