## What the SRA expects on your website

The SRA Transparency Rules, in force since 6 December 2018, affect every regulated firm's website:

- **The SRA digital badge** must be displayed prominently, along with your SRA number. The badge is a small script loaded from the SRA. If your site's security settings or a broken template block it, the badge silently disappears. We check it loads.
- **Complaints information** must be published, including how and when clients can complain to the Legal Ombudsman and the SRA.
- **Price and service information** must be published if you offer certain services, such as residential conveyancing, uncontested probate, employment tribunal claims, motoring offences and some immigration and debt recovery work.

Hosting can't write those pages for you, but it can make sure they're always online, load quickly and aren't broken by an update.

## Protecting clients from email fraud

Conveyancing and payment fraud often starts with an email that looks like it came from your firm, asking a client to send money to new bank details. You can't stop criminals trying, but you can make it much harder for them to send mail that appears to come from your exact domain.

We publish **SPF** and **DKIM** records for every service that sends email for you, then move **DMARC** from monitoring to a reject policy once legitimate mail passes. Receiving mail servers that honour DMARC will then refuse forged messages using your domain. See [Cloudflare DNS management](https://dijituldns.co.uk/cloudflare-dns-management/).

## Client confidentiality and your website

- **Keep enquiry forms short.** Ask for a name, contact details and a brief summary. Don't invite people to type detailed case facts into a form that's then emailed around.
- **Don't use the website as a document store.** Use your case management system or a secure client portal for documents.
- **Limit access.** Each person who edits the site gets their own login, removed when they leave.
- **Encrypt in transit.** [Free SSL](https://dijituldns.co.uk/ssl-certificates/) on every page, with Cloudflare in Full (strict) mode.
- **Have a processor contract.** We provide a data processing agreement on request. See [UK GDPR and hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/gdpr-compliant-hosting/).

## What you get for £1 a day + VAT

[dijitul Complete Hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/complete-hosting/) covers a typical firm website: managed server, Plesk login, Cloudflare DNS, daily backups, free SSL, one domain a year and free migration from your current host. If your firm runs a bespoke client portal or case-tracking application, we'll quote for that separately. See [custom software hosting](https://dijituldns.co.uk/custom-software-hosting/).

## FAQs

### What must a solicitor's website include under SRA rules?

Under the SRA Transparency Rules, firms must display the SRA digital badge and SRA number, publish their complaints procedure including Legal Ombudsman and SRA details, and publish price and service information for specified services such as residential conveyancing and uncontested probate.

### Why has the SRA badge disappeared from my website?

The badge loads from an SRA script, so it can be blocked by a template change, caching rule, Content Security Policy or a script being removed. Check the page source and browser console. dijitul checks the badge loads on law firm sites it hosts.

### How can a law firm stop criminals spoofing its email address?

Publish SPF and DKIM for all services that send your email, then set DMARC to quarantine or reject once legitimate mail passes. Also warn clients you'll never change bank details by email. dijitul sets up these records for hosted firms.

### Who is the best web host for a UK law firm?

Look for a UK provider that manages security and backups, supports DMARC setup, and will sign a data processing agreement. dijitul hosts law firm websites for £1 a day + VAT with all of those included.

### Should client documents be uploaded through a law firm's website?

Only through a secure portal designed for it, with access control and audit trails. A simple website form that emails attachments isn't suitable for confidential documents. Use your case management system or a dedicated portal.

### Does a law firm website need a data processing agreement with its host?

If the website handles personal data such as enquiries, the host is a processor and UK GDPR requires a written contract. dijitul provides a data processing agreement to customers on request.
