A modern digital platform for Lanyon Bowdler, redesigned and rebuilt in WordPress to make legal expertise easier to explore across Shropshire, Herefordshire, North Wales and the Midlands.

Project snapshot: Client: Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors. Focus: law firm website redesign, Laravel to WordPress migration, WordPress development, legal service architecture, location-led SEO, solicitor profile journeys and ongoing website support.

Client Requirements

Lanyon Bowdler is one of the most recognised solicitor firms across Shropshire, Herefordshire, North Wales and the Midlands. Their website needed to support a broad legal offer, multiple office locations, a large team of solicitors and a steady stream of SEO-led content.

The existing website had been built around a bespoke Laravel CMS, which made ongoing content management and future development less straightforward. The next stage required a complete migration to WordPress, a refreshed design and a clearer structure for legal services, people, locations and enquiries.

Our Solution

We migrated Lanyon Bowdler from Laravel to WordPress and redesigned the website around clearer client journeys, stronger content management and long-term technical flexibility. The new platform gives the team more control over service pages, solicitor profiles, office locations, news, events and legal insight content.

The redesign focused on making a large law firm website easier to navigate, with clearer routes into personal legal services, business legal services, local offices and enquiry points. We also worked with the wider SEO requirements of the project, supporting improved technical structure, metadata management and a cleaner foundation for future organic growth.

Law Firm Website Redesign and WordPress Build

Lanyon Bowdler needed more than routine website support. Their existing website had grown around a bespoke Laravel platform, and the next stage required a full migration to WordPress, a redesigned interface and a more flexible structure for a large, location-led legal website.

Website Redesign and Migration

A modern WordPress platform for a recognised regional law firm.

The new website gives Lanyon Bowdler a clearer digital structure for presenting personal legal services, business legal services, solicitor profiles, office locations, news, events and client enquiry journeys. Instead of relying on a legacy custom CMS, the site now gives the internal team a more intuitive way to manage content while preserving the depth and authority expected from an established law firm.

Laravel to WordPress Migration

The project moved the site away from a bespoke Laravel CMS and into WordPress, giving the client a more familiar and flexible platform for long-term content management.

Clearer Legal Journeys

Service, sector, people and location content were structured around how clients search for legal help, making it easier to move from research into enquiry.

SEO-Led Foundations

The rebuild supported stronger technical SEO foundations, including improved templates, cleaner content routes and a more manageable approach to metadata and page structure.

Law Firm Content Architecture

The site was planned around Lanyon Bowdler’s broad legal offer, with room for personal services, business services, office locations, legal guides, people profiles, careers, events and news.

Refined Visual Direction

The redesign gives the website a more confident and contemporary feel while keeping the tone professional, approachable and suitable for a trusted legal brand.

Flexible WordPress Editing

Reusable WordPress templates and content sections make it easier for the team to keep high-value legal pages up to date without relying on development time for every content change.

Ongoing Technical Partnership

VisionSharp continued to support the website beyond launch, helping with technical improvements, SEO requests, maintenance, security and future development needs.

Service Journeys

A site structure built around how legal clients choose a solicitor.

The redesigned website helps visitors move quickly between legal services, solicitor expertise and local office information across Shrewsbury, Hereford, Telford, Oswestry, Ludlow, Bromyard, Conwy and the wider regions Lanyon Bowdler serves. This gives both individual clients and business clients clearer routes into the advice they need, while supporting the firm’s visibility across important service and location searches.

The Outcome.

The redesigned Lanyon Bowdler website gives the firm a more modern, flexible and manageable digital platform. The move from Laravel to WordPress has made content easier to maintain, while the refreshed design gives visitors clearer routes into legal services, solicitor expertise and local office information.

By combining a full CMS migration, law firm content architecture, SEO-conscious templates and a more polished visual direction, VisionSharp created a website that supports both client enquiries and ongoing digital marketing activity.

Lanyon Bowdler now has a scalable WordPress website that can support future service pages, location content, solicitor profiles, legal updates, events and campaigns.
