Overview

Birdsey, Dedman & Bartlett is one of Geelong's oldest law firms, established in 1898. With 2 partners and a specialty in wills & estates, they bring over a century of trusted legal service to the region.

The Challenge

A firm with 128 years of heritage was represented online by an extremely dated static HTML site with a basic blue design that failed to convey their distinguished history or convert modern web visitors.

Our Approach

Designed a heritage-forward site leading with "Since 1898" branding while applying a clean modern layout. Practice area sections, trust signals, and strong CTAs transform their online presence from dated to distinguished.

Key Features

128-year heritage showcase
Practice area breakdowns
Modern design replacing static HTML
Mobile-responsive layout
Strong consultation CTAs

Why This Design Drives Revenue

128-year heritage messaging creates unmatched trust over newer Geelong competitors
Wills & estates specialization captures high-intent "Geelong wills lawyer" searches
Modern design replaces extremely dated static HTML — instantly more credible
Mobile-responsive layout captures the 65%+ of legal searches done on phones
Clear CTAs convert the large percentage of visitors who leave law sites without acting

The Result

A fast, modern, SEO-optimized website built with Astro — designed to convert visitors into clients and establish a commanding digital presence.
