A few specific fixes for cardiff-law.co.uk.

LG Williams & Prichard · Cardiff · website rebuild

I rebuild small-business sites in my spare time when I can see they are leaving credibility on the table. Three things stood out on cardiff-law.co.uk when I read through it as a prospective client. Three findings below, then a working rebuild you can click through at /preview/.

Three findings, in order of priority

What 150 years of credibility is currently leaving on the table.

A read-through of the live cardiff-law.co.uk on 18 May 2026. Each finding can be verified from your own homepage in under a minute.

01

The Welsh-language paragraph on the homepage breaks mid-word.

What I saw: The Welsh paragraph on cardiff-law.co.uk currently reads "Rydym yn cynnig cyngor a gwasanae(e to be added)thau drwy gyfrwng y Gymraeg." The editorial note "(e to be added)" has been live, unfixed, inside the running Welsh sentence. Every Welsh-speaking visitor sees it. The intended word is "gwasanaethau" (services).
The rebuild: The rebuild ships the correct Welsh sentence in place, alongside an English-paired version so monolingual visitors are not faced with a wall of untranslated text. A short note on the Welsh-language service names Hedydd Davies as the fluent Welsh-speaking director, the point of contact for Welsh-medium work.

02

For a 150-year-old practice, nothing on the page tells the visitor when "today" is.

What I saw: The footer of cardiff-law.co.uk carries no copyright year. The about page states "foundations in the 1850s" and "over 150 years" but no current date anywhere. A visitor who lands on the site has no signal whether the page they are reading is from 2026, 2022 or 2018. For a firm whose entire credibility rests on continuity, that absence costs.
The rebuild: The rebuild lands a dated heritage timeline running from the 1850s through the 2022 acquisition of Davies Prichard & Weatherill to today, plus a current copyright year in the footer. Visitors can place the firm in time within five seconds of arriving.

03

Two separate cookie-consent panels render in the page source.

What I saw: The current WordPress build loads two different cookie consent plugins. They overlap on first page-load and the second never dismisses cleanly on mobile Safari. A returning client coming back to use the client portal has to dismiss two banners before they can read the homepage. Lighthouse counts both as render-blocking.
The rebuild: The rebuild replaces both with a single GDPR-compliant consent panel that defers all non-essential scripts until accepted. One dismiss-click, one re-load. The client portal link is moved up into the header so returning clients reach it without scrolling.
