A website for a Bolton-based wills, probate and estate-planning business serving England and Wales. I brought its services, practical information and contact routes together in a calm, accessible presentation.

Legacy Wills & Probate helps people with wills, probate and estate-planning decisions. Its website introduces a range of services, including will writing and powers of attorney, for individuals and families across England and Wales. These are subjects visitors may approach at a difficult or uncertain time, so the presentation needs to feel measured and easy to understand.

My design and development work gives the business a consistent online identity, using a restrained colour palette, generous spacing and clear service choices. The first screen introduces the main areas of help without expecting someone to understand every legal term before they can navigate.

A separate home for each service

Will writing, probate and power-of-attorney information have their own routes from the homepage and navigation. Dedicated pages allow each subject to be explained in context, with relevant information and a clear way to contact the business. That structure is more useful than expecting one page to answer every question about several different services.

The website also makes fees and contact information easy to find. Supporting legal and regulatory links sit within the wider site structure, alongside complaints information and privacy details. These are part of presenting the business transparently; the website’s design should help visitors locate them rather than obscure them behind a sales message.

The thinking.
The detail.

Connecting trust with a practical next step

The homepage combines the service introduction with information about the team’s approach and customer feedback published by the business.

The homepage combines the service introduction with information about the team’s approach and customer feedback published by the business. Clear telephone and contact-page links give visitors a choice about how to start a conversation. The enquiry form provides another route for people who would rather explain their circumstances in writing.

The same content adapts to smaller screens. Readable headings and straightforward navigation are particularly important when someone is comparing services on a phone, or returning to a page after speaking with a family member. The aim is to keep the journey understandable from the introduction through to the point of enquiry.

A useful example for professional services

The finished website provides a clear framework for a professional-services business: explain the offer, give important subjects enough space, present the practical details, and make contact easy.

The finished website provides a clear framework for a professional-services business: explain the offer, give important subjects enough space, present the practical details, and make contact easy. The visual treatment supports the information rather than competing with it.

For legal and advisory businesses, a website is often an early part of a much longer conversation. My role is to make that introduction clear and credible, with a structure that can support service information, search visibility and future content. This project demonstrates how careful design can give complex subjects a more approachable home online without treating every visitor as ready to enquire immediately.
