Quick answer: Onyxarro's free law firm website audit covers law firms, solicitors, barristers, and legal practices across general practice, litigation, conveyancing, family law, commercial, employment, trusts, immigration, and criminal defence. It includes three deliverables: a written audit ranking every issue costing you qualified client enquiries (mobile speed, tap-to-call placement, consultation request flow, practice-area pages, location clarity, contact forms, lead generation, partner credentials, team credibility, trust signals like memberships and Law Society standing), a redesigned homepage preview deployed at a public URL, and a conversion report with the estimated revenue impact of each fix. Revenue impact figures are estimates, not guarantees. All three arrive by email within 48 hours, free, no card, no calls. The review applies the same patterns we cover in our guides on law firm website design examples, law firm website mistakes, service business website examples, homepage examples, trust signals, call-to-action examples, contact pages, and pricing pages. This is strictly a website design review. We do not give legal advice, and we do not make claims about legal outcomes, case wins, guarantees, or client results. Submit your firm URL on /audit; full service catalogue and pricing at /services; founder context at /about; concept demos at /concepts are concept projects, not paid client work; broader agency overview on the homepage.

Honest proof

Estimates, not guarantees.

Onyxarro does not promise specific enquiries, matters, or legal outcomes. What we promise is honest, written work and a redesigned preview you can open and inspect.

Estimated revenue impact

Lost-enquiry figures are estimates based on your traffic, enquiry conversion rate, and average matter value. Not guarantees of matters, fee income, or case outcomes.

Concept demos, labelled

OSC Law, Accountants HB, and MD Construction are live concept demos built by Onyxarro to show the heritage-led, partner-spotlight, credential-forward pattern. Concept work, openly labelled. Real client case studies will appear at /work as paid projects ship and clients approve publication.

What we do not do

No fake testimonials, no aggregated star ratings, no stock client logos. No legal advice, no case-outcome claims, no guarantees about matter wins or fee income. Strictly a website design review.

Legal FAQs

Questions firms always ask.

What does a law firm website audit cover?

A law firm website audit reviews the website experience, not legal advice. It covers practice area clarity (litigation, conveyancing, family, commercial, employment, trusts, immigration, criminal defence, and others), the consultation enquiry pathway, trust signals (partner credentials, Law Society standing, memberships, team profiles), mobile load speed and tap targets, FAQ coverage, CTA placement, and whether the page makes it easy for potential clients to enquire. Patterns are pulled from our law firm website design examples and law firm website mistakes. It is strictly a website design review. We do not give legal advice, and we do not make claims about legal outcomes, case wins, guarantees, or client results.

We're a small firm, is this only worthwhile for bigger practices?

The opposite. A sharp site levels the playing field. It's how a 2-5 lawyer firm looks as credible online as a 30-lawyer practice. Small firms usually have the most to gain because their current site is often the weakest link in their funnel.

Can you design around our specific practice-area focus?

Yes. Every redesign is built around your practice mix. Litigation-led firms need different trust signals than conveyancing-heavy ones. We design the hero, service structure, and lead flow around whatever actually drives your fee income.

What about confidentiality and client matter privacy?

We design the site. We don't touch client files, matter data, or your practice-management system. Public-facing content only: partner bios you choose to publish, practice areas, testimonials you approve. Everything NZ Privacy Act 2020 compliant.

How do you handle conflict-check / intake forms?

Enquiry forms can be scoped tightly: name, matter type, other party (optional), so your team can run conflict checks before any consultation is confirmed. No client data is stored on the site itself; submissions route straight to your practice inbox.

Is this really free? What's the catch?

Yes. Free audit, free redesigned preview, free conversion report, yours to keep. Some businesses who see the redesign decide to hire Onyxarro for the full build. That is the model: prove value first, then let the right clients move forward.

What if we want the full site?

Reply to the audit email. We will send a fixed quote (Launch $5,000, Growth $8,000, Studio $13,000+ custom scoped) and timeline. 50% deposit starts the build. Launch and Growth move quickly after approval. Larger Studio builds are scoped clearly before we start. No retainers, no surprise invoices, no monthly hosting creep.

Your firm deserves a site that carries its authority.

Not one that makes a senior partner's reputation look like a sole-trader's. Scroll up, fill the form, and in 48 hours you'll know exactly what your current site is costing you. Revenue impact figures are estimates, not guarantees.
