FL Legal — From Legacy to Lead-Ready
We rebuilt FL Legal’s website to feel modern, trustworthy, and conversion-focused — clearer services, stronger calls-to-action, and a smoother mobile experience.
The result: a faster site that guides clients from first impression to enquiry without friction.
About the Client
FL Legal is an Auckland-based legal practice serving individuals and small businesses with practical advice and clear communication. They wanted a site that reflected their professionalism while making it easy for clients to take the next step.
The Challenge
The previous site looked dated and made it hard for visitors to understand services or enquire quickly. Content was thin, navigation unclear, and mobile usability was inconsistent.
- Unclear navigation and buried service pages.
- Limited trust signals (testimonials, badges, FAQs).
- Generic copy lacking a strong value proposition.
- Slow page loads and mixed mobile experience.
- Minimal SEO foundations and schema markup.
Our Solution
We rebuilt the information architecture, rewrote core service copy, and introduced purposeful CTAs. The visual system draws on a calm, trustworthy palette with strong contrast for readability. We tuned performance and added structured data for search engines.
Process
- Discovery workshop and IA (navigation, page hierarchy).
- Copy refresh: benefits-first services, FAQs, CTAs.
- Component design system for consistency and speed.
- Performance pass (images, lazy-loading, code hygiene).
- On-page SEO & legal-specific schema (FAQ/Article).
Deliverables
- Responsive website with clear service pathways.
- Contact & enquiry funnels on every key page.
- Testimonials block, FAQs, and trust badges.
- Comparison & before/after storytelling components.
- Technical SEO baseline with schema markup.
