A Dobermann watching, NoDrama's watchdog for law firm websites

WordPress maintenance for law firms

The SRA looks at your website.

We watch the pages the regulator checks, keep the digital badge rendering, and send you a dated record every month. So the answer to "when did we last check" stops being a shrug.

From $129 a month. Cancel monthly plans anytime.

The bit in the footer

Is your SRA digital badge rendering?

No reason you would have checked. Here is the thing about the SRA digital badge, it is not a picture. It is a snippet of code the SRA issues you, and code in your WordPress footer breaks quietly. A theme update. A plugin that decides to be helpful. No errors, no warnings. The badge just stops rendering or stops clicking through, and it sits there until somebody happens to notice.

Regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority digital badge

Why it recurs

Those pages were compliant the day they went up.

The transparency rules do not only say the information has to exist. They say it has to sit somewhere "accessible, clearly signposted, and easy for visitors to find." It depends on where things sit in your navigation. Reorganize a menu, and you can drop out of compliance without touching a single price. And the SRA does not wait for a complaint about this one. It sweeps websites.

That was the last time anyone looked.

The requirements are in the SRA's transparency rules guidance.

A website page being scanned line by line against the rules

If nobody has checked

Most firms have never had the site read against the rules.

So that is where we start. We go through the pages the rules touch and put the result in writing. What is right, we hold. What is wrong, you get told, along with what it takes to put it right.

The service

What we hold on your site.

The badge

Checked monthly that it renders and clicks through.

Change watch

On the pages the rules touch. Price, complaints, diversity.

A software inventory

Every plugin and theme on the site, and what state each one is in.

Tested updates

Key pages are checked before and after every update and put back if one breaks something.

Malware scanning

Across the whole install, every 12 hours, with unlimited cleanups of new infections on yearly billing.

Backups

Off-site, kept 90 days, with a second copy held by another company.

What we send you

Every month we send you a report of the work we did on your site.

What we checked, what changed, what we fixed, dated. It goes into the firm's file as it is. No editing, no chasing anyone for it. Every plan, no extra cost, from your first month.

You are buying the record as much as the work.

Who we work with

We are not for everyone.

Built for.

SRA regulated firms running WordPress, where nobody's actual job is the website. Lexcel is accredited or working towards it, usually. A practice manager who keeps an eye on it and an IT contractor who comes in on Tuesdays is the normal situation, not a reason you would not need us.

Not for.

If you employ a developer, you do not need us. If the site needs rebuilding rather than maintaining, we are the wrong call.

Stop guessing whether the site is still right.

We handle setup and migration for you, free on yearly billing and $149 one-time on monthly. Change plans or cancel any time.

Onboarding

Onboarding takes 24 to 48 hours.

Your site stays live through onboarding.

Your first report date is named before you sign.

Common Questions

Price and service information for the specified categories, complaints information including how to reach the Legal Ombudsman and the SRA, and your regulatory information. If your firm does conveyancing, probate, motoring, employment tribunal, immigration, debt recovery, or licensing work, the price rules bite.
It is a snippet of code the SRA issues through mySRA, not an image you upload. Code in a footer is subject to everything else that happens to a WordPress site. It can stop working without anything visibly going wrong, which is the part that catches people out.
Yes, and it is two problems rather than one. The rules require you to publish the experience and qualifications of the people doing the work, and separately your publicity has to be accurate under the Code. A page listing someone who left fails both.
We work with Lexcel-accredited firms, and we will not tell you we satisfy a control on your behalf. What we produce is a software inventory and a dated record of how it is kept updated. Whether that is what your assessor wants is a conversation with your assessor, not with us.
Paragraph 1.5 of the Code of Conduct for Firms says firms monitor, report and publish workforce diversity data as the SRA prescribes. Where a firm publishes it on its website, it is one more page that quietly ages.
Yes. Its guidance on Principle 6 says firms must make sure their premises, website, and other communications are accessible for disabled people. We will not tell you a maintenance plan makes you compliant, and anyone who does is overselling.
It depends entirely on what you asked them to do, and most build contracts end at launch. Worth asking who has looked at the transparency pages since the site went live.
We maintain the website, not the certification. If your firm holds Cyber Essentials, the site may sit inside the scheme's patching rules. That is our reading of the scope and your assessor's call.
