About this concept demo.

Wakefield and Sterling is fictional. The brand, the partners, the matters, the press, the addresses, the phone numbers, and the photography placeholders on this site are all sample placeholders. No real firm, partner, court matter, regulator, or client is depicted at any point. Nothing on the site constitutes legal advice, an offer of legal services, or a real engagement.

Every page on this demo carries a sticky concept-demo bar, a hero badge, sample-placeholder asterisks on every figure or quote, a robots noindex meta tag, and a footer disclaimer block that names the demo for what it is.

Most agency portfolios show finished sites for paying clients. That is useful, but it is also constrained: the agency has to honour a brand book, a CMS, a content team, and a deadline. A concept demo strips those constraints out and answers a different question: what would the very best version of a site for this kind of firm look like, if the agency had complete art direction and a full editorial pass?

The Tier 1 series exists so a partner at a working chambers can see editorial restraint, type pairing, photography direction, and a conversion architecture native to the niche, and decide for themselves whether Onyxarro belongs in their shortlist. It is meant to be useful, not impressive.

If you are reading this from a real chambers and would like to discuss a build of your own, the path is short. The Onyxarro audit page is a free, no-pressure site review of your existing firm site. The audit is the first step, not a commitment.

A full Tier 1 build is typically priced in three phases (discovery and direction, design and build, launch and care) and includes a half-day editorial photography day with a photographer Onyxarro briefs to the firm. The photography day is line-itemed separately so it stays transparent.
