Attorneys & conveyancers · Somerset West, Western Cape
KS Attorneys & Conveyancers Inc.
A new Somerset West law firm needed somewhere online to send people. We designed, built and launched a single, quietly confident page: six practice areas, a personal introduction to Karla Swart, and a contact form that turns visitors into enquiries. Found on Google, Bing and AI search from day one.

No. 01 · The brief
A new firm deserved a front door as considered as its advice.
Karla Swart opened KS Attorneys & Conveyancers Inc. in Somerset West to offer property transfers, family law, wills and estates, litigation and debt collection with a personal touch. There was a logo and a phone number, but nowhere online to send people.
The brief: one elegant page that explains the six practice areas, introduces Karla, and makes it easy to get in touch by form, phone or WhatsApp. It had to feel like a law firm, not a template, and be ready for Google and AI search on launch day.
Every colour comes from the KS monogram. Burgundy is used like a signature: the name, the buttons, never whole pages. Ivory and paper keep it warm and readable, and a soft gold marks the details. The result feels like a well-kept practice, not a template.

A law firm’s website should keep the law, too.
A full POPIA Privacy Policy went live with the site, with Karla named as Information Officer. The form will not send without consent, and every enquiry email records that it was given. The firm’s Microsoft 365 email was protected throughout the domain move.
