The Context

The challenge.

Ma�tre Anne-Clotilde Verbreugh, a barrister at the Bordeaux Bar specialising in employment law, needed an institutional website worthy of her expertise � credible, professional, and capable of generating qualified appointments without going through a telephone switchboard.

01

Image & Credibility

The old site, generic and dated, did not reflect the firm's level of expertise. In employment law, trust is won before the first appointment � every visual detail matters in persuading a prospective client to pick up the phone.

02

Time Management

Handling incoming calls for appointment booking consumed valuable time. This process needed to be automated without sacrificing the quality of client relations � freeing Ma�tre Verbreugh to focus on her cases.

03

Local Visibility

Ranked on overly generic queries, the site did not appear in high-potential local searches ("employment lawyer Bordeaux"). The objective: dominate local results on keywords with direct contact intent.

The Response

Authority & conversion.

01
Serif typography & navy/rose palette

Premium Brand Identity

Institutional visual identity with authoritative Serif typography, a deep navy palette and powdery rose accents. Every element evokes the rigour, discretion and competence expected of a premium legal practice.

02
Automated booking 24/7

Online Appointment Module

Integration of an automated booking system, accessible 24/7. The client chooses a time slot, receives an email confirmation, and the firm accesses its consolidated diary with no manual administration.

03
Semantic silo architecture

SEO Performance

Thematic silo architecture � one page per speciality (unfair dismissal, negotiated severance, workplace harassment) � to dominate each specific query in Bordeaux and Gironde with maximum semantic authority.

Local SEO strategy

The "authority" effect

In employment law, clients verify a lawyer's legitimacy before making contact. A premium institutional website combined with structured local SEO creates immediate trust, turning visitors into clients.

Client testimonial
I entrusted the creation of my website to Richard Lourmet and the result exceeded my expectations. The firm's image is finally worthy of my expertise, and online appointment booking has freed up a considerable amount of my time. I recommend him unreservedly.
