QEB Queen Elizabeth Building

QEB needed a website that could reflect the standing of Chambers while making a large and complex body of information straightforward to navigate.

Our role focused entirely on the technical development and WordPress build.

Working from the supplied creative direction and designs, our development team was responsible for turning the concept into a fully functioning website, creating the templates, content structures and functionality needed to manage everything from barrister profiles and areas of expertise to cases, news, accolades and enquiries.

Just as importantly, the platform needed to be manageable behind the scenes, giving the QEB team the flexibility to keep a constantly evolving website accurate and up to date.

Rather than reinventing the brand, our responsibility was to ensure it translated accurately into the new website. Typography, imagery, spacing, colour and interaction were carefully implemented throughout the WordPress build, maintaining consistency across a wide range of page types and screen sizes.

For an organisation whose reputation is built on expertise, credibility and professionalism, attention to detail throughout the front-end build was essential.

The visual design was supplied to Kaweb, with our team responsible for translating it faithfully into a functioning digital experience.

That meant looking beyond individual desktop layouts and considering how the design system should behave across the entire website.

Reusable components and responsive behaviours were developed to maintain the quality of the original creative across different content lengths, devices and page types.

From prominent editorial typography and photography through to profile information, quotes, accolades and calls to action, every component needed to feel considered and consistent.

The completed website gives QEB a digital platform capable of matching the scale and reputation of Chambers.

Complex information has been organised into clear user journeys, individual barristers and their expertise are easier to discover, and QEB has a flexible WordPress CMS that can continue to grow alongside the organisation.

For Kaweb, the project demonstrates the value of development that goes beyond simply reproducing supplied designs.
