Lexis Notarissen: the specialists in the spotlight
Lexis Notarissen in Meppel and Zuidwolde helps people through life’s big moments: buying a home, moving in together or getting married, a will, an inheritance, starting a business. I have worked for the firm for almost twenty years, from the niche brand Notaris Joost to the website for all of Lexis.
In 2026 I delivered a completely new website that puts the firm’s specialists front and centre. At the same time I gave the logo a contemporary colour. The shape stayed the same, so the brand clients have known for years remains recognisable.
The brief
People who go to a notary aren’t looking for a firm, they’re looking for someone who understands their situation. Yet a notary firm’s expertise often stays invisible online, hidden behind a list of services and legal terms.
Lexis wanted to turn that around. The specialists had to step forward, each with their own field and their own explanations. And the website had to get visitors to the right answer and the right person quickly.
My approach
- Practice areas from the visitor’s point of view. Not legal terms as the way in, but situations such as “I’m dealing with an inheritance” or “We’re moving in together or getting married”. That takes you to the right answer in one click.
- Specialists in the spotlight. Every specialist has their own profile with their expertise and experience, visible on the homepage and alongside the articles.
- Specialist explains. Articles per practice area, written by the notaries themselves. It shows their knowledge and helps the site get found.
- Appointments within one click. Booking an appointment and the online client file are always in view.
- A logo for today. Only the colour changed, so the brand looks contemporary and stays recognisable.
- Notaris Joost merged into Lexis. The old site redirects to the new one, so no visitors or search visibility are lost.
Almost twenty years of working together
Lexis is one of my longest-standing clients. Over the years I have worked on websites and branding for the firm, and for Notaris Joost also on business cards, lettering and signage. Because I know the firm, the people and their clients, we can move quickly and we know what works.
