McLean McKenzie & Topfer
Migration of a long-established North-West Tasmanian law firm from a dated static site onto a WordPress build the team can update themselves — visual refresh included, content editable without touching code.
Overview
mmtlaw.com.auMcLean McKenzie & Topfer is a long-established law firm serving North-West Tasmania. The existing website was static — adequate when it was built, but increasingly impractical as the firm grew and content needed regular updating. The brief was a clean migration to a CMS the team could actually use, with a visual refresh along the way to bring the site into line with how the firm presents itself in person.
What we did
- Static-to-WordPress migration

The Project
A long-established firm, finally able to update its own site.
McLean McKenzie & Topfer needed to be able to keep their site current without involving a developer for every change. Time to retire the static site.
McLean McKenzie & Topfer has been providing legal services across North-West Tasmania for decades — the kind of firm where the work is genuinely better than the website was suggesting. The original site was static HTML built years earlier. It loaded fine, looked reasonable from a distance, but every meaningful change required someone to edit the source files and re-upload them. Translation: the site rarely got updated, because nobody wanted to fight that workflow for routine content changes.
The migration moved the existing content into a clean WordPress build with a custom theme. Nothing exotic — the goal was a site the firm could actually keep current, not a digital monument. Updating a team member's bio, adjusting a service description, or publishing news about the firm now happens directly in the WordPress dashboard, no developer required.
The visual side got a parallel refresh. The new design carries the kind of restrained, considered presentation that suits a firm of its standing — clean typography, good use of space, a structure that respects readers' time. Properly responsive across every device, properly accessible, and properly aligned with how the firm wants to be seen in 2022 rather than 2012.
