The verdict in three sentences
In Bath, a high street law firm website costs a 2026 ballpark of 6 000 to 20 000+ GBP from a local agency and 2 000 to 6 500 GBP from a freelancer. Kolonell delivers in 3 to 4 weeks for 2 300 GBP (Starter) or 3 900 GBP (Growth), with 6 900 GBP for a bilingual Premium site. For a firm focused on residential conveyancing, wills and probate, the tier choice depends mostly on how many practice areas need the pricing pages the SRA requires.
What do Bath providers charge for a law firm website?
Wide 2026 ballparks based on public rate cards of UK agencies, freelance platform rates (Upwork, PeoplePerHour, Clutch listings) and the minimum project sizes shown on Clutch.co. Bath is a smaller market than neighbouring Bristol, and many firms work with Bristol or London agencies. Scope moves the price.
| Provider | Typical 2026 price | Delivery | Often included | Often extra |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bath or Bristol agency | 6 000 to 20 000+ GBP | 8 to 14 weeks | Design, build, CMS training | Copy, photography, maintenance |
| National legal sector agency | 8 000 to 25 000+ GBP | 10 to 16 weeks | Legal templates, SRA pages | Customisation, annual contract |
| Somerset freelancer | 2 000 to 6 500 GBP | 4 to 10 weeks | Build on a theme | Copy, support |
| Kolonell Starter | 2 300 GBP | 3 to 4 weeks | Core pages, copy, SRA pages | Custom back office, quoted |
| Kolonell Growth | 3 900 GBP | 3 to 4 weeks | One page per practice area, bios, blog, analytics | Client portal, quoted |
| Kolonell Premium | 6 900 GBP | Usually 4 to 6 weeks | Advanced design, bilingual EN/FR option | Ongoing SEO, quoted |
The three tiers are detailed on our international website offer.
Which tier for which practice areas?
The SRA Transparency Rules require solicitors' firms to publish price and service information for certain areas, including residential conveyancing, uncontested probate and some employment tribunal claims, along with the complaints procedure and the SRA digital badge. Check the current list with the SRA: each area in scope adds a page that needs careful writing.
| Firm profile | Practice areas | SRA pricing pages | Suggested tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sole practitioner | Wills and probate | 1 | Starter 2 300 GBP |
| 2 to 4 solicitors | Residential conveyancing, wills | 2 | Starter or Growth |
| 4 to 8 solicitors | Conveyancing, probate, family, employment | 3 | Growth 3 900 GBP |
| Firm with European clients | Property for overseas buyers, cross-border estates | 2 to 3 | Premium bilingual 6 900 GBP |
| Multi-office firm (Bath and surroundings) | 5 or more areas | 3 or more | Premium 6 900 GBP |
What does a Bath law firm actually need?
- Clear pricing pages: fee ranges, disbursements, typical timescales, what is and is not included. These are also the pages that reassure prospective clients most.
- Warm solicitor bios: in Bath, many clients choose a local firm and want to see faces and know who will pick up the phone.
- A discreet enquiry form that warns visitors not to send confidential details before a conflict check. Personal data falls under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018.
- Accessibility: clients for wills and powers of attorney are often older, and WCAG 2.1 AA is the common reference for readability.
- Professional rules: rules on lawyer advertising exist and must be checked by the firm.
This is a factual overview, not legal advice.
Which red flags should you spot in a quote?
- A low price that excludes writing the SRA pricing pages, the slowest pages to produce.
- A mandatory 12 or 24 month maintenance contract with no detail of what it covers.
- A domain registered in the agency's name.
- A proprietary theme that cannot be moved to another provider.
