Overview

Web Design & Development Project Overview

Legal Aid Saskatchewan serves people who qualify for legal help in criminal and family matters, which makes its website unlike almost every other law site we build. Nobody arrives here to compare firms. They arrive frightened, often on a phone, frequently in a hurry, and needing to establish one thing quickly: whether this applies to them at all.

So the site sorts its visitors at the front door — “I need a lawyer” down one path, “I am a lawyer” down another — and everything after that is built for comprehension rather than persuasion. Eligibility gets a proper explanation instead of a policy excerpt. Each area of legal help has its own page. An office locator with a searchable map answers the question a province-wide organization fields more than any other, which is simply where to turn up. Community resources, governance and a timeline of the organization’s history sit alongside, because a public body has to be accountable as well as useful.

Case study

Deep Dive

What actually went into Legal Aid Saskatchewan’s build, decision by decision — and the service behind each one.

01
Two doors: "I need a lawyer" and "I am a lawyer"
The homepage sorts before it explains. A person in trouble and a lawyer taking a certificate need almost nothing in common from this site, and a single homepage serving both serves neither well. Splitting them at the top was the first decision made and it shaped every page underneath.

02
Eligibility is the only question that matters first
Before anything else, a person needs to know whether legal aid applies to them. Getting that answered in plain language, early, somewhere of its own, prevents the two worst outcomes: somebody who qualifies giving up, and somebody who does not qualify spending a week finding out. Public-service copy is measured in the visits that end correctly, not the ones that end.

03
The question they get asked most
A province-wide organization with offices scattered across it gets asked one question above all others. A searchable map carrying every location's details settles it in a few seconds, on a phone, which is the device most of these visits arrive on. It is the least glamorous feature on the site and probably the most used.

04
A public body has to show its workings
Governance, community resources and a timeline of the organization's history were each given a structure of their own. None of it persuades anybody of anything. It exists because a publicly funded body is answerable to people who will never need its services, and that obligation deserves somewhere real to live rather than a PDF nobody can find.
