Amror
A bespoke static website for AMROR, a London disputes strategy firm, built across four languages with eight team profiles and international SEO architecture.

Project overview
AMROR
is a London-based independent strategy firm working on high-stakes disputes where law, money, politics and reputation intersect. The firm’s clients include principals, family offices, institutions, founders and senior counterparties navigating complex cross-border matters — fraud, asset recovery, reputation risk and contentious strategy.
The brief was to build a web presence that could speak directly and credibly to that audience without relying on a CMS framework or page builder. I designed and developed the site as a fully bespoke static HTML platform: no build step, no WordPress, no theme. The result is a fast, precision-controlled and maintainable website built to serve one of the most reputation-sensitive sectors in professional services.
If you are looking for bespoke theme development or technical SEO architecture for a professional services firm, AMROR is a strong example of that kind of work in practice.
Theme Development for bespoke, performance-focused websites built outside of standard CMS frameworks.
SEO Optimization for international sites with multilingual architecture, structured data and canonical URL control.
The challenge
AMROR operates at the intersection of law, intelligence, forensics, capital and communications. Its clients are senior, international and highly discerning. The website had to signal authority, discretion and commercial seriousness before a single word was read — and it had to do that credibly in four languages across multiple regions.
From a delivery perspective, this meant building a platform with no shortcuts: custom design, precise typography, cinematic photography, a robust multilingual architecture and a structured data foundation that would hold up in both search and AI-indexed environments.
AMROR’s principals and advisory board include former City litigation partners, intelligence specialists and geopolitical advisers. Every design decision had to match that weight.
The firm operates internationally. The site needed to work correctly and read naturally in English, Arabic — including full right-to-left layout — Russian and Simplified Chinese.
A clean, lightweight platform was preferred over a WordPress build. Speed, long-term stability and complete control over the rendered output mattered more than editorial convenience.
Four principals and four advisory board members — each with distinct backgrounds in law, intelligence, capital, security, geopolitics and communications — needed individual profile pages that were properly indexed and read professionally.
Resolution Capital — the firm’s offering around litigation funding strategy and capital assessment — needed its own dedicated section with clear positioning separate from the main disputes strategy framing.
What was delivered
I built AMROR as a fully bespoke static HTML website with a shared CSS design system, a multilingual directory architecture and a structured content hierarchy covering the firm’s core capabilities, team, experience and capital offering. The delivery combined design, development, multilingual translation integration, SEO architecture and analytics setup into one coherent build.
The project reflects the kind of precision work I typically do in bespoke theme development, where the brief demands full control over design, performance and code quality rather than adapting an off-the-shelf framework, supported by technical SEO foundations built for an international audience.
Every page was built from scratch — no WordPress, no page builder, no theme. A shared CSS design system covers typography, layout, colour and responsive behaviour across all pages and all four language versions.
The site runs across four parallel language directories — English, Arabic, Russian and Simplified Chinese — each with its own canonical URL and hreflang references for correct international indexing.
Eight individual profile pages were built for the firm’s principals and advisory board: John Wilkinson, Inga Ludewig, Edwin Harland, J-P Pitt, Lord Garnier KC, Professor Michael Burleigh, John Deverell CBE and Rupert Wright.
A dedicated page covers AMROR’s capital strategy offering — fundability assessment, capital route options and independent evaluation — giving the firm a distinct commercial positioning beyond standard disputes advisory.
Core functionality included
A JavaScript-driven language control allows visitors to switch between English, Arabic, Russian and Simplified Chinese, with a detection layer that routes returning visitors to their previously selected language.
The Arabic version uses right-to-left document direction throughout, with CSS adapted for RTL reading flow, navigation and component layout.
A custom cookie consent system handles preference storage, consent state management and per-category controls, with a persistent preference link in the footer.
Google Analytics 4 is wired across all pages in all four language versions, giving the firm traffic visibility across regions.
Every page carries structured data: Organization and WebSite schema on the homepage, BreadcrumbList on inner pages and Person schema blocks for each of the eight team profile pages.
Every page carries a correct canonical tag. An Apache .htaccess configuration handles four canonical redirect scenarios — HTTP, non-www, HTTP non-www and trailing index.html URLs.
Every page across all four language versions carries the full set of hreflang annotations including an x-default fallback, ensuring search engines serve the correct language variant per region.
The homepage uses a fullscreen cinematic video with a poster image fallback, giving the site an immediate visual tone appropriate for the target audience.
A structured section presents anonymised case snapshots across fraud, asset recovery, reputation risk and geopolitical disputes to demonstrate depth without breaching client confidentiality.
A structured sitemap covers all pages in all languages. Robots.txt is correctly configured to allow full crawling of the canonical domain.
Key architecture decisions
The most consequential decision was to build AMROR as plain HTML rather than a CMS. For a firm with a small specialist team and no ongoing editorial workflow, the overhead of a WordPress installation — updates, plugins, security maintenance — added no value. A static site with a clean CSS system delivered precision, speed and long-term stability without that dependency chain.
The multilingual structure was built as four independent parallel directory trees rather than a translation plugin layer. Each language version is a standalone set of pages with its own canonical URL, hreflang references and structured data — reliable, crawlable and maintainable without risk of plugin-breaking updates.
The decision to write JSON-LD Person schema for every individual team member was deliberate. For a firm where the principals and advisers are themselves the product, having each person properly indexed as a structured entity — with role, biography and organisational affiliation — supports both search presence and the firm’s credibility in AI-indexed environments. That architecture reflects the kind of technical depth I bring to SEO-focused builds and bespoke development projects alike.
Eliminates plugin dependencies, security surface and update overhead. The site is a set of files — reliable, fast and fully under control.
Each language version is independently deployable and fully self-contained, avoiding translation-layer fragility and keeping hreflang implementation clean.
Structured data covering principals and advisory board members gives the firm a richer semantic footprint beyond a standard organisation schema block.
All four non-canonical URL variants are handled in Apache .htaccess, keeping the HTML layer clean and preventing duplicate indexing from day one.
Results and outcomes
The result is a live, indexed and correctly structured website at amror.co.uk that operates confidently in four languages, carries strong semantic foundations and presents a credible, premium brand to AMROR’s senior international audience. The site loads fast, ranks cleanly and is fully maintainable without a CMS or build tool dependency.
The site is fully operational in English, Arabic (RTL), Russian and Simplified Chinese, with correct canonical and hreflang architecture in place across all versions.
All four principals and four advisory board members have live, indexed profile pages with Person schema, biographical copy and role framing.
Organization, WebSite, BreadcrumbList and Person structured data give the firm a well-formed presence in both traditional search and AI-indexed contexts.
No framework overhead, no plugin layer, no build step. Page load times are minimal and the site will not break due to a CMS or plugin update.
The capital strategy section creates a commercial differentiator that sets AMROR apart from standard disputes advisory or law firm sites.
Server-level redirects and correct canonical tags mean only the intended URL is indexed, with no duplicate content risk across the four canonical URL variants.
Technology used
AMROR was built as a bespoke static website using plain HTML5, CSS3 and vanilla JavaScript. No CMS, no build tools and no frontend framework were used. Apache .htaccess handles canonical redirects and HTTPS enforcement. GA4 provides analytics across all language versions. Schema.org JSON-LD covers Organisation, WebSite, BreadcrumbList and Person entities. The multilingual architecture is implemented as four parallel static directory trees with full hreflang and canonical coverage.
Next steps
The natural evolution for the AMROR platform is expanding the content architecture — adding individual experience pages per matter type, an insights or commentary section for the firm’s principals and deeper structured data covering specific dispute categories and jurisdictions. A lightweight editorial layer for content updates is also a logical addition as the firm’s publishing needs grow.
For professional services firms and B2B businesses looking to build similarly authoritative platforms — where credibility, performance and long-term stability matter more than editorial convenience — this is the kind of work I cover through Theme Development and SEO Optimization.
