Burley Geach Solicitors
Website rebuild for the firm's 125th year
A WordPress site that had not been modernised in a decade, rebuilt on Elementor and ACF Pro for the firm's 125th year, with the timeline, profiles and careers pages built bespoke rather than bought in.
the brief
Burley Geach have been practising since 1901, and 2026 is the firm's 125th year. Their site was still WordPress, but it had not been modernised in about ten years, and the partners wanted it brought up to date in time.
The content was largely staying as it was. What needed to change was the layout and the theme around it, so this was a rebuild rather than a rewrite, and WordPress stayed.
what was built
- A new build on Elementor and ACF Pro, rather than another round of patching the theme they had.
- A firm history timeline, running from the 1901 founding to the present day.
- Staff profiles and an Our People listing, ordered by role rather than alphabetically.
- A careers section the firm posts and manages itself.
- Those four are bespoke plugins written for this firm, not licensed ones bent to fit.
- Hosting, and ongoing management of the site and the firm's domain names.
outcome
Live on 14 September 2026, in the firm's 125th year, with the site, its hosting and its domains all looked after here.
