02 The design approach

A broadsheet-style concept: oversized Caslon headlines over the firm's own Corio Bay photograph, then wills and estates as the lead practice with the specialist named and a direct "Ask for Lorraine" call. The firm's own history explains its name, and every page carries a Call and Enquire pair because these clients phone.

Built for speed and search

The updated concept includes practical improvements to how visitors and search engines reach the content.

A lighter first view: The core service and project information is delivered as page content, so visitors can read it without waiting for an interactive tool to initialise. Images further down the page use lazy loading to reduce competing downloads in the first view.
Search engine optimisation (SEO): Descriptive page titles, a clear main heading and readable service information give search engines context about the business and its work. Canonical page addresses identify the intended page URLs.
Images sized for the screen: Responsive image sources let the browser select a size suited to the screen. Cloudflare image delivery provides resized versions and automatic format selection.
