Client Overview
The UK's Largest Family Law Practice
Stowe Family Law is the UK's largest specialist family law practice, with over 90 offices nationwide. As the business grew from a handful of locations into a national brand, the demands placed on its digital presence grew with it: a large content team publishing daily, complex lead generation and booking requirements, deep integrations with internal systems, and an ever-present need for hardened security and reliability.
KSS Media has been the web development and infrastructure management partner behind the Stowe website for over a decade. Our role has evolved far beyond a typical agency relationship. We manage the full stack, from the WordPress application layer through to the Google Cloud infrastructure on which it runs.
The result is a platform that has scaled alongside the business, handled millions of visitors, and never suffered a single security incident or significant period of downtime.
Karl and his team have been pivotal in optimising and developing the Stowe Family Law website over the past year. Assisting our marketing team with third-party systems integration, bespoke WordPress development, Google Analytics and CRO testing implementations. If you run a law or professional services website, and you're keen to get some help in this area, I cannot recommend Karl and his team enough.

Head of Digital, Stowe Family Law
The Challenge
A reliable web platform that had to grow with the rapid pace of the firm's expansion across the UK.
Stowe's digital requirements went far beyond a standard marketing website. With a large team of daily content publishers, complex lead capture needs, sensitive client data, and integration requirements across multiple internal business systems. The platform had to be engineered to a much higher standard than a typical WordPress build.
Large Content Team Publishing Daily
Dozens of lawyers, marketers, and content editors needed to publish new articles, service pages, and office profiles every day, with editorial workflows, SEO review tools, and role-based permissions to manage quality and consistency at scale.
Complex Callback Booking Requirements
The contact team needed a bespoke system allowing website visitors to book available callback slots in real time. This had to integrate with the team's CRM diaries to prevent double-booking and route enquiries to the right advisors.
Multiple Internal System Integrations
The website needed to connect with Stowe's internal CRM platform, newsletter and email marketing systems, and various other business tools, requiring bespoke API integrations built and maintained over many years.
Enterprise-Level Security at Scale
A high-profile legal brand handling sensitive personal data is a target. Standard WordPress security was insufficient. The site required hardened configuration, plugin vulnerability management, active monitoring, and strict access controls.
What We Built
A bespoke and secure content management system, with multiple business system integrations
CMS for Large Content Teams
Built a bespoke editorial system within WordPress with custom post types, structured content fields, built-in Yoast SEO review workflows, and role-based permissions, allowing a large team to publish confidently every day.
Bespoke Callback Booking System
Designed and developed a real-time slot booking system integrated into the web contact forms. Available callback windows are managed by the contact team and fed directly into their CRM diary system.
CRM & Newsletter Integrations
Built bespoke API integrations connecting the WordPress front-end with Stowe's internal CRM platform and email marketing systems, ensuring lead data flows cleanly from website submission into the right business systems.
Careers Sub-Site
Developed a fully integrated careers sub-site allowing the HR team to post and manage job vacancies independently, with filterable listings, application forms, and a publishing workflow that kept the process simple.
Hardened WordPress Security
Implemented a comprehensive security stack: disabling unnecessary attack surfaces, managing plugin vulnerabilities proactively, enforcing strong authentication, applying WAF rules, and conducting regular audits. Zero security incidents in over 10 years of management.
Google Cloud Hosting Management
Managed the Google Cloud Platform infrastructure: automated off-server backup strategies, performance tuning, and migrations between hosting environments. The site has maintained 99.99% uptime across a decade of operation.
