Is your build POPIA-compliant for client data?

Yes. POPIA-compliant intake forms with proper consent flows, data minimisation, retention policies, and secure document upload for matters that need it. POPIA-compliance is built into every law firm site we deliver.

Can you integrate with our practice management system?

Yes. LegalTech, Ghostpractice, custom systems — we integrate so client enquiries land directly in the workflow your team already uses.

Will my site rank for 'family law attorney [my city]'?

Practice-area + suburb queries are the heaviest legal lead drivers, and yes — we build cluster-based topical authority for these. Movement is typically 4–8 months, faster for less-saturated areas, slower for saturated ones (commercial litigation, M&A in Sandton).

Do you handle attorney bios for individual practitioners?

Yes — every attorney gets a profile page with LSSA registration, year of admission, specialities, notable matters and direct contact routing. Attorneys who own their pages drive their own marketing harder.

Can you build for advocates or only attorneys?

Both. Advocates' websites have slightly different content needs (chambers affiliation, instructing attorney intake) but the underlying build approach is the same.

Law Firms websites in South Africa

WeMakeSites builds websites for South African law firms, attorneys and advocates from R5,500. Every site is structured for the credibility law firms need: practice area pages with depth on each speciality, attorney profile pages with LSSA registration and admission details, case study and judgment archives, POPIA-compliant client intake forms with proper consent flows, and resource libraries that establish topical authority. Most sites launch in 4–6 weeks. We integrate with practice management systems (LegalTech, Ghostpractice, custom) where the firm uses them, set up secure document upload for client matters, and apply careful SEO tuning for the practice-area-and-suburb queries that drive most legal lead flow. Care plans from R449/month cover ongoing edits, security and resource library updates.

Why this matters for law firms

Law firm websites are credibility surfaces first, conversion surfaces second. A potential client researching a divorce attorney, a commercial litigator, a conveyancer or a tax specialist isn't comparison-shopping on price — they're trying to identify someone competent and trustworthy. The website needs to demonstrate that, then make engagement easy.

We build to that bar. Practice area pages with depth (not just bullet points) — the kind of content that demonstrates the firm understands the practice area at a working level. Attorney profile pages with proper credential display: LSSA registration, year of admission, areas of speciality, notable cases or matters where appropriate. Case study and judgment archives where the firm wants to publicly highlight wins. Resource libraries (articles, FAQ guides, downloadable templates) that establish topical authority and earn long-tail search visibility.

Client intake is handled with care. POPIA-compliant consent flows, proper data minimisation, secure document upload for matters that need it, and integration with the firm's practice management system (LegalTech, Ghostpractice or custom) so leads land where the team already works.

For SEO, law firm work is heavy on long-tail practice-area-and-suburb queries ("family law attorney Hatfield," "M&A lawyer Sandton," "conveyancer Centurion"). We build cluster-based topical authority for those queries and earn ethical links from legal press, industry contributions and partnership exchanges.

We also handle the design constraints that come with legal: conservative aesthetic where the firm requires it, modern aesthetic where the firm leans contemporary, careful information architecture either way.
