Goodharts Solicitors

Goodharts Solicitors are a new law firm based on the Newcastle Quayside serving clients nationwide. With years of experience of law based in the City of London, the partners of Goodharts were looking for a professional, corporate website to portray the specialist areas of law in which they practice.

Web Design Brief

ClarityWEB's brief on this project was very simple, to create something corporate but visually striking.

Based around Goodharts branding, the colours of silver and purple formed the basis of the colour scheme. The layout needed to be clean, simple and very user friendly.

The inclusion of a Google map was also integral to Goodharts in order to show their exact location to prospective clients.

Graphic Layout

The layout of the Goodharts website follows the basic principles of usability, with a logo, horizontal navigation followed by the content of the page and a footer. Simplicity was key in this design with the layout being rigid throughout the site.

A large tagline banner has been placed across the top of the content, getting across the law firms message of "Putting People First".

Visual interest has been added to the site using a watermark of the Tyne Bridge in Newcastle on each of the pages. Overlaid on the homepage is the image of Lady Justice from The Old Bailey, reiterating immediately the law context of the site. There is also the image of The Angel of the North on the contact page as a guide to the location of the offices of Goodharts.

Content Administration System

The blog page also links to social media platforms that Reid Furniture actively participate in. Facebook, Twitter and YouTube are very important to Reid in connecting with their customers, so these links will provide additional awareness.
