Website Design for Lawyers in Brisbane

Websites for Brisbane solicitors, from a sole practitioner in Chermside or Carindale to a firm a short walk from the George Street courts: one page for every area of law you handle, profiles that show exactly who is accredited in what, and personal injury pages laid out with Queensland's narrow limits on a firm's own website in mind.

What a Brisbane law firm's website needs

Queensland sits outside the Uniform Law that Sydney and Melbourne firms work under, and it has a statute of its own on advertising injury work. A Brisbane site starts from those rules, then does the everyday job: showing someone in Albion or Sunnybank, within a minute, whether you take on their kind of matter and how to make contact.

  • One page per area of law

    Family, criminal and traffic, wills and estates, property, employment, commercial disputes: each area you genuinely practise gets a page in your own words, covering the matters you accept, what happens at the first meeting and roughly how long things take. The injury page is handled differently, as explained below.

  • Injury pages planned around the PIPA limits

    Beyond your name, contact details and areas of practice, Queensland's Personal Injuries Proceedings Act limits what a firm's own website may say about injury work to statements about how the law of negligence works, people's rights under it, and the conditions on which you take the work. So that page explains rather than sells. We lay it out from wording you have checked, and leave out banners, slogans and results.

  • Accredited specialists beside their own names

    Queensland Law Society's Accredited Specialist style guide says the logo sits close to the specialist's name and never next to the firm's. We place it on that solicitor's profile with post-nominals in the QLS form, such as AccS(Fam), and word firm-level pages as “we have Accredited Specialists in…” rather than claiming the firm is one.

  • A quick exit on family and violence pages

    Queensland Courts puts a quick-exit button on its domestic violence pages so a visitor can leave in one tap. We can add the same to your family law pages, alongside an enquiry form that asks for a safe number, a safe time and whether a message can be left.

  • Courts and offices by name

    Where your office is, the nearest train station or busway stop, parking, and the courts your solicitors actually appear in: the QEII Courts of Law, Brisbane Magistrates Court, or suburban courts such as Holland Park, Richlands, Sandgate and Wynnum.

  • Fixed fees shown where you have them

    A “from” price for simple wills, enduring powers of attorney or a standard conveyance, with a line on what it includes, and a plain account of how other work is charged. If the first appointment is free, say how long it runs.

  • Booking or call-back, your choice

    We can link a booking tool you already use, such as Calendly, from every page, or build a booking and payment system into the site, quoted for your practice.

Queensland's rules for law firm websites, and Brisbane's courts

Different legislation from NSW and Victoria. Queensland solicitors practise under the Legal Profession Act 2007. Queensland Law Society issues practising certificates, which are renewed each May, and the Legal Services Commission is the independent body that deals with complaints about Queensland lawyers. The Australian Solicitors' Conduct Rules 2023 (opens in a new tab) came into force in Queensland on 27 September 2024. Rule 36 covers a firm's website: advertising must not be false, misleading or deceptive, or likely to mislead or deceive, and a solicitor must not convey a false, misleading or deceptive impression of specialist expertise. QLS's ethics guidance adds that saying you “specialise” in an area is likely to be read as a claim to expertise, not just a description of the work you usually do.

The injury advertising statute. Chapter 3, Part 1 of the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act 2002 (opens in a new tab) treats any statement likely to encourage someone to claim compensation or damages for a personal injury, under any Act or law, or to use a particular lawyer for that claim, as advertising personal injury services, and that expressly includes statements on a website. Section 66 generally limits such advertising to a lawyer's name, contact details and areas of practice, published by an allowable method, and gives advertising on a “no win, no fee” or other speculative basis as an example of the advertising it restricts. A firm's own website may go further only with statements limited to the operation of the law of negligence and a person's rights under it, and the conditions on which the firm is prepared to act. The maximum penalty is 300 penalty units, and a practitioner can also be charged with misconduct. In May 2026 QLS's Proctor reported a QCAT decision reprimanding a principal over statements on a firm's website, in which the judge called the provisions difficult to interpret. The Legal Services Commission says it is reviewing its PIPA materials. We publish only wording you approve and point you to QLS or the Commission; we don't give compliance advice.

Specialist accreditation. QLS has run its accreditation scheme since 1995, with areas including family, criminal, property, succession and personal injuries law. Accreditation belongs to the individual solicitor, who must keep practising in the area for at least 25% of full-time practice and complete 15 CPD points a year, 10 of them in that area. QLS's Accredited Specialist style guide sets out correct and incorrect wording (“Accredited Specialist in Family Law”, not “Specially Accredited”) and the post-nominal for each area. The public can search QLS's register for accredited specialists by area of law and location, and QLS keeps records of all current Queensland practitioners, so a link from each profile lets a careful client check.

Brisbane's courts. The Supreme and District Courts and the Planning and Environment Court registry are in the QEII Courts of Law at 415 George Street. Brisbane Magistrates Court is up the road at 363 George Street and is one of six places where Queensland runs a specialist domestic and family violence court; Murri Court sits there and at Richlands and Wynnum. Family law matters go to the Federal Circuit and Family Court in the Harry Gibbs Commonwealth Law Courts at 119 North Quay. Away from the city, Brisbane City has Magistrates Courts at Holland Park, Richlands, Sandgate and Wynnum, and the North Brisbane Law Association is one of the district law associations QLS lists for local practitioners.

Working with us. We're an Adelaide team at Ste 3/110 Hutt St and work with Brisbane firms by phone and email. Queensland Dance & Performing Arts on Brisbane's Bayside is one of our clients; we haven't yet built a site for a Queensland law firm. Partners can open the draft link between client meetings, and the firm pays nothing until it approves the site.

Sites we've built that carry over to a law firm

Resolve Forward is our client in the legal field, a family law dispute resolution practice in Sydney. Queensland Dance & Performing Arts is our client on Brisbane's Bayside, with a long list of programs that each needed a clear page of their own.

Home page of the Resolve Forward website

Resolve Forward

Professional services · Sydney

Mediation, family dispute resolution, child-inclusive mediation, parenting coordination and arbitration each have a page with FAQs, and priced packages lead to online booking and a five-step intake form. A Brisbane family law page could follow that shape, with a quick-exit button added.

Home page of the Queensland Dance & Performing Arts website

Queensland Dance & Performing Arts

Community, creative & tourism · Thorneside, Brisbane's Bayside

A dance school on Brisbane's Bayside: 12 pages, one per program and the diploma, plus a weekly timetable and online enrolment. A firm with six or seven areas of law needs the same structure, with each area reachable in one tap from the menu.

“He was incredibly hands-on, always available to answer questions, and made every requested change promptly and without hesitation.”

Questions Brisbane law firms ask us

Can our injury page say “no win, no fee”?

The Personal Injuries Proceedings Act gives advertising on a “no win, no fee” or other speculative basis as an example under its general restriction, while letting a firm's own website carry statements limited to negligence law and the conditions on which the firm takes injury work. How a particular fee sentence fits that is a question for the QLS ethics team or your own adviser, especially since a QCAT judge called the provisions difficult in 2026. We publish the wording you settle on.

Are Queensland's advertising rules the same as NSW's?

Conduct rule 36 is common to both, but Queensland isn't under the Uniform Law and has its own injury advertising statute in the Personal Injuries Proceedings Act. NSW's position is different; our Sydney lawyers page covers it, which matters if your firm also acts south of the border.

How should an accredited specialist appear on our site?

On their own profile: the QLS logo placed beside their name, the full title such as “Accredited Specialist in Succession Law”, and the matching post-nominal. Firm-wide pages can say you have Accredited Specialists in that area. For solicitors without accreditation, we'd describe the work they do: QLS's ethics guidance says a claim to be a specialist or to specialise is likely to be read as a claim to expertise, so check with QLS before using those words.

Should we list the Brisbane courts we appear in?

Yes, on the page each court relates to. A criminal and traffic page can name Brisbane Magistrates Court or Richlands; a family law page can explain that matters run through the Harry Gibbs building on North Quay. We don't add courts you don't attend.

You're in Adelaide. Can you build a website for a Brisbane law firm?

Yes. We're an Adelaide (South Australia) web design team working with businesses Australia-wide by phone and email, and our current clients are in SA, NSW, VIC and QLD, including Queensland Dance & Performing Arts on Brisbane's Bayside. You send your words, photos and solicitor details; we build the draft, and you pay once you approve it. We reply within 24 hours.

Send us your areas of law, your solicitors' details and any accreditation, and tell us whether you take injury work. We'll quote, build the draft, and you pay only once you approve it.
