A few specific fixes for sandersonssolicitors.co.uk

Sandersons Solicitors · Beverley office · website rebuild

I rebuild small and mid-size firm websites in my spare time when I can see the firm is leaving credibility on the table. Three things stood out on the Beverley side of sandersonssolicitors.co.uk on a phone over coffee. The first is the one a browser tells the client about before they have read a single word. The other two are about how 129 verified reviews at 4.9 stars stay invisible on a homepage that hasn't been touched since 2019. Three findings below, then a working rebuild you can click through.

Morton House, Morton Lane · Beverley · HU17 9DD

Beverley is a 129-review, 4.9-star East Riding office of a firm trading from Parliament Street since the early days. The rebuild leads with that, on HTTPS, with the credentials a Westwood-side buyer can read in the address bar. Open the live preview ↗

Finding 01

sandersonssolicitors.co.uk is served on plain HTTP. Browsers now flag every page as “Not Secure”.

What I saw in the address bar

Typing https://www.sandersonssolicitors.co.uk in any modern browser returns a connection error. The site is only reachable on http://, with no SSL certificate, no HSTS header, no automatic redirect. Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox now show a “Not Secure” warning in the address bar on every page of an HTTP-only site, and on the property page and the family page (the two pages a prospective client is most likely to type a name and a phone number into) the warning is right next to the firm's name. Pages built for plain HTTP also can't be saved to a phone home screen as a trusted icon, and they get a soft demotion in Google's mobile search.

What the rebuild does about it

The rebuild ships on Vercel with a free automatically-issued SSL certificate, HTTPS by default, and an HTTP-to-HTTPS redirect at the edge. The browser warning vanishes. Conveyancing and matrimonial enquiries are sent over a secured connection. No moving DNS away from your current registrar is required.

Finding 02

129 ReviewSolicitors entries at 4.9 / 5 for the Beverley office, none of them above the fold.

What I saw on the homepage and the Beverley footer

The Beverley office has 129 verified reviews averaging 4.9 / 5 on ReviewSolicitors. Hull has another 129 at 4.9. Withernsea has another 123 at 4.9. Sharon Spicer alone (Conveyancer) has 43 personally-attributed reviews at a clean 5.0 / 5 on her solicitor page. That's roughly 380 published five-star data points across three offices. On the live homepage, the only ReviewSolicitors signal is a small third-party JavaScript widget loaded at the bottom of the page, below the four practice cards. On mobile the visitor has to scroll three full screens before they see a number, and the widget itself loads after the fold. The Beverley footer carries the address but not a single review count.

What the rebuild does about it

A credential strip in the hero of every page, sourced and linked: 4.9 / 129 on ReviewSolicitors Beverley · 4.9 / 252 across Hull and Withernsea · 5.0 / 43 for Sharon Spicer. Page-level AggregateRating JSON-LD so Google's local pack can read the numbers without scraping the widget. The ReviewSolicitors widget stays, moved up to the heritage band where it earns its space.

Finding 03

A live two-minute conveyancing quote tool is buried below the fold of the property page, and never reaches the homepage.

What I saw on /property.html

The site embeds a working Hoowla quote widget (firm id 3522398) configured for eleven distinct residential scenarios: first-time buyer, BTL or second home, help-to-buy ISA, leasehold, new-build, right-to-buy, shared ownership, unregistered, leasehold sale, mortgaged sale, leasehold transfer, mortgaged transfer. A Beverley homeowner could get a fixed conveyancing quote without picking up the phone. In May 2026 it sits below a 2019-era hero on the property page, with no link from the homepage, no link from the family or commercial pages, and no surface-level mention that “instant quote in two minutes” is even possible. The page title for the homepage is literally <title>Home</title> and the meta description is empty.

What the rebuild does about it

The Hoowla quote is the primary action on the homepage, side-by-side with the “call us” button. The same quote tile sits at the foot of every practice card so a Cherry Burton vendor on the family page can still get a conveyancing quote without going back to the home page. Page title and meta description for every page name the firm, the city and the practice area, with a non-empty description that gives a reason to click.
