Law firm websites in Cape Town face compliance requirements that most web agencies have never read: the Solicitors Regulation Authority's Transparency Rules (effective 2018, updated 2022) mandate that regulated firms publish indicative prices for six listed service areas, clearly describe the complaint process, and display a link to the Legal Ombudsman. Firms that ignore these requirements risk SRA regulatory action-and most Cape Town law firm websites we have reviewed fail at least two of these requirements because the agency that built them approached it as a brochure, not a regulated communication.

Buyer's Checklist
These are the questions and checks that separate legal & law firms specialists from general web agencies who will list your sector on their homepage after you sign.
SRA Transparency Rules compliance: price indication for all six mandated service areas displayed clearly-not hidden in a PDF or buried in footer text
Solicitor/barrister profile pages with SRA registration numbers, call to the bar dates, and specialisation areas-supports E-E-A-T signals and client trust
Inquiry form design with clear matter type classification: routing different inquiry types to the correct fee earner is a conversion and compliance issue
Legal Ombudsman and SRA badges displayed correctly-check placement and link accuracy; incorrect or outdated badge display is a common SRA audit finding
Content E-E-A-T: legal article authors must be named qualified fee earners with listed specialisms-ghost-written 'thought leadership' with no named author scores poorly with Google's legal YMYL classifier

Custom WordPress
The most common stack for Cape Town law firms. Attorney/solicitor profile custom post types, practice area taxonomy, and case study pages managed by practice managers without developer involvement. Must be custom-themed for SRA compliance display.
