Alison Fielden & Co. · Cirencester · website rebuild
I rebuild small-business websites in my spare time when I can see the site is selling the business short. I spent ten minutes on alisonfielden.co.uk, a Cirencester firm that has traded since 1986, and three things stood out, all on the homepage. Below are the three findings, then a working rebuild of the site you can click through and judge for yourself.
What I saw
The current site at alisonfielden.co.uk is built as hand-coded .php pages (about.php, depts.php, contact.php) with the content locked to an 800-pixel-wide column and a single 2015-era stylesheet. On a phone the page is zoomed out to fit that fixed width, so the text and the phone number end up small and hard to tap. Most people looking for a Cirencester solicitor are searching on a phone, and that first impression is doing the firm a disservice it has not earned in nearly forty years of trading.
What the rebuild does
The rebuild is a single fluid page that lays out properly on a phone, with the phone number, the address and the enquiry form within thumb reach from the first screen.
What I saw
A look at the source finds no LocalBusiness or LegalService JSON-LD, no opening-hours markup, and no Open Graph image, with the address sitting in body text only. The page title is the generic "Alison Fielden & Co. | Solicitors & Notary Public | Home". Google cannot reliably tell a searcher that this is a Cirencester solicitor and Notary Public at The Gatehouse on Dollar Street, which is exactly the detail that wins a local enquiry.
What the rebuild does
The rebuild ships LegalService and FAQ structured data, the full postal address, the SRA number, a real Google Maps embed and a proper page title, so the firm surfaces on the Cirencester and Cotswold searches it should already own.
What I saw
The firm holds Lexcel, the Law Society Conveyancing Quality Scheme, Resolution and Cyber Essentials. On the current site these accreditations appear only as small logo images low on the page. For someone choosing between two Cirencester firms, those marks are among the strongest reasons to pick this one, and they are easy to miss where they sit now.
What the rebuild does
The rebuild puts the accreditations in a clear band near the top, alongside the since-1986 history and the fact that Alison Fielden is a Notary Public, so the credibility is read before the visitor scrolls.
No retainer. No contract. No in-person visits, fully remote from Switzerland.
If the proposal lands, reply with two or three 20-minute slots in the next ten days for a video call. I take on three Cotswold and west-country builds this quarter, and first confirmed wins the slot. If I do not hear back by 11 June, the proposal site comes down.
