Strategy
Core Hypothesis
“If we rebuild for mobile-first authority + online booking with pre-qualification, then enquiries will 3x because family law audiences want trust + control from their phone.”
Positioning Shift
Repositioned from "law firm" to "Parramatta's specialist family law + mediation firm — book online, no phone tag".

Our Approach
Authority design
Redesigned with a clean, professional aesthetic that communicates trust — muted tones, clear typography, and practitioner photos with credentials prominently displayed.
Consultation booking
Integrated an online booking system for initial consultations with a pre-consultation questionnaire — allowing the solicitor to prepare before the meeting.
SEO-ready structure
Created dedicated pages for each practice area — divorce, child custody, property settlement, mediation — with local content targeting Parramatta and Greater Western Sydney.
