Hi, I'm Terris. I'm a web designer in Singapore, full-time since 2018, and I design and build every site on these pages myself.
Get law firm website design in Singapore built to win the matters you take
Legal is the one sector where the visitor is genuinely frightened. They are not comparing firms on brand or on a nice photograph of a boardroom. They have a specific problem, usually urgent, often embarrassing, and they are trying to work out whether it is survivable and what it will cost to ask.

A.W. Law LLC ↓ My law firm work
Almost every law firm website is organised the way the firm is organised, by practice area and by partner. That is not how anybody searches. The person typing at midnight wants to know whether their ex can move overseas with the children, not which department handles it.

What a law firm website has to do
-
Have a page for the actual problem
Not "family law" but child custody, deed of separation, syariah divorce, relocation disputes. Not "criminal" but bail applications, CPIB investigations, appeals after conviction. Each of those is a separate search by a person in a separate situation, and a practice-area page ranks for none of them.
-
Remove the fear of the first call
The barrier is rarely the fee for the work. It is the assumption that picking up the phone starts a meter running, which is why people sit on legal problems for months. Whatever the first step is, it has to visibly cost nothing.
-
Say who you can actually talk to
In Singapore, whether a firm can run a matter in Malay, Tamil, Mandarin or Vietnamese is frequently the deciding factor, especially in family and criminal work. It belongs in the hero, not in an About page.
-
Be readable by someone who is not calm
Legal writing defaults to precision, which reads as coldness to a person mid-crisis. Guides have to answer the question in plain language first and qualify afterwards, or the reader leaves for a forum thread that will give them worse advice.
How I build law firm sites
-
A page per matter, not per department
A.W. Law runs 69 individual matter pages. Each one is its own URL aimed at the specific situation a person is in, which is the only realistic way a small practice competes with firms that have marketing teams.
-
A guide library with a real taxonomy
199 guides organised four levels deep where it helps, from family law to divorce to expat or syariah divorce. Each cluster feeds the matter pages beside it rather than sitting in an undifferentiated blog.
-
A free first step, with real hours
A free ten-minute discovery session as the primary call to action across every page, alongside WhatsApp and a request-a-call option with hours stated. Weekday evenings matter, because people cannot ring a lawyer from their desk.
-
Language and location as first-class routes
Languages marked up in schema and stated in the hero, plus dedicated pages for people searching by location or identity rather than by legal term. Someone looking for a Chinatown firm or an Indian lawyer gets a page written for that search.
Where the figures on this page come from
-
Real projects, live links
Every case study links to the site itself, so you can check the work instead of taking my word for it.
-
Figures from the build or the business
Page counts and structure can be counted on the site. Anything else is a figure the business publishes about itself. I don't print traffic or enquiry numbers a client hasn't confirmed.
-
No invented reviews
A quote appears only where a client left one on Google, which is why most case studies have none.
-
Prices from my published packages
Any price in the answers below comes from the same list as my pricing page, not a number written for this page.
What law firms ask me
How much does a law firm website cost in Singapore?
A practice presenting its partners and three or four practice areas fits the One Week Website at SGD 3,500. A build like A.W. Law, with a page per matter, a full guide taxonomy and multilingual routing across 325 pages, is a bespoke project from SGD 7,500 and took eight weeks. The main cost driver is how many distinct matters you want to be found for.
Do we need a blog, or is that a waste of a lawyer’s time?
You need the content, but you do not need a partner writing it from scratch. The guides are what capture people months before they are ready to instruct anyone, and they are what makes a small firm competitive on search. I structure the library and draft it with you, because the legal accuracy has to come from the practice.
Can you handle Law Society advertising rules?
Yes, and it shapes the copy. Singapore practice rules limit how firms may promote themselves, which rules out outcome guarantees, success-rate claims and comparative advertising. The site is written to be persuasive within that, which mostly means being specific and useful rather than boastful. Your firm should still review the final copy.
Should we publish our fees?
Full price lists rarely work in legal, because matters genuinely vary. What does work is removing the cost of asking: a free short consultation, fees confirmed in writing before work starts, and honest indicative ranges in the guides. That answers the question people are really asking without committing you to a number.
Choosing a web designer for your law firm
Singapore law firm websites are remarkably similar to one another. A skyline photograph, a list of practice areas, partner biographies in the third person, and a contact form. They are competent and they are interchangeable, which means the client comparing three of them chooses on whichever felt least intimidating.
The firms that do better online tend to do one thing differently: they build for the person rather than for the practice. That means a page for the specific matter instead of the department, guides that answer the question in plain language, and a first step that visibly costs nothing. None of it requires a bigger marketing budget, just a different structure.
If your firm takes work that nobody can find you for, that is a structural problem rather than a branding one. Have a look at the A.W. Law case study and get in touch.
