Client Overview

Maples Solicitors is a well-established legal firm that wanted to strengthen its online presence with a modern, user-friendly website to promote its legal services. They needed a platform that would allow their staff to easily manage and update content while providing an accessible experience for all users. Maples turned to PSP for a tailored solution. 

Challenge

The firm required a website that could be easily managed by their in-house team, with no need for advanced technical skills. In addition, they needed the site to integrate with a third-party review platform to showcase client feedback and ratings. A key requirement was the inclusion of an accessibility mode to ensure the website was user-friendly for individuals with disabilities. Ongoing performance, SEO, and security support were also vital to ensure the site’s long-term effectiveness. 

Solution

PSP developed a bespoke website for Maples Solicitors using the Umbraco content management system (CMS). This system provided the flexibility and ease of use that Maples needed, allowing staff to update content and add new pages independently. 

We integrated several key features into the website, including a plugin that connected with a third-party review platform to display client feedback and ratings. An 'accessibility mode' was also implemented, enabling users to customise the layout for improved accessibility, making the site fully compliant with accessibility standards. 

To ensure the website’s quality and functionality, PSP’s manual testing team rigorously tested the site before it went live. As part of our ongoing service, we continue to provide regular checks on SEO, performance, speed, and security to ensure the website remains optimised and secure.

Results

With the new Umbraco-based website, Maples Solicitors now has a powerful, easily manageable platform that enhances their online presence. The site allows them to showcase client reviews, maintain up-to-date content, and offer an accessible user experience to all visitors. Thanks to PSP’s ongoing support, the website continues to perform at a high level with regular updates.

Conclusion

PSP’s customised Umbraco solution has provided Maples Solicitors with a modern, efficient platform to manage their online content and promote their legal services. The integration of client feedback and accessibility features, combined with PSP’s ongoing support, ensures the website meets the firm's operational needs and provides long-term value to their business.
