Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about getting a website for your accounting practice. If your question is not answered here, just ask us.
How long does it take to build an accountant website?
Most accountant websites take 2-3 weeks from start to launch. This includes design, your feedback, content integration, and testing. Timeline depends partly on how quickly you provide content and feedback. If you have everything ready and respond promptly, we can often deliver faster.
What do I need to provide for my website?
You will need to provide: your logo, written content for each page (or we can write it), photos of you and your team, your professional body membership details (ACCA, ICAEW, AAT, CIMA), details of your services, and any testimonials. We send a detailed checklist when we start and can help fill any gaps.
How do you display ACCA, ICAEW, or AAT membership?
We display professional body logos prominently according to their brand guidelines. This typically includes logo placement in the header or footer, membership numbers on your About page, and proper formatting following each body's requirements. These credentials are key trust signals for potential clients.
Can I update the website myself?
Minor updates like text changes and new team photos are included in your monthly hosting. We handle these for you, usually within 24-48 hours. For clients wanting direct access, we can provide a content management system, though most accountants prefer to email us changes rather than managing it themselves.
What happens if I want to leave?
You are not locked in. Give us 30 days notice and we help with the transition, providing your website files and assisting with domain transfer. We keep clients through good work, not by making it difficult to leave. That said, most clients stay with us for years.
Will my website work on mobile phones?
Absolutely. Every website we build is fully responsive, automatically adjusting to look great on phones, tablets, and desktops. Business owners often search for accountants on mobile. We test on real devices to ensure the experience is seamless.
How do you handle GDPR and data protection?
We build websites with GDPR compliance in mind: cookie consent banner, privacy policy template, and secure form handling. Contact form data is transmitted securely. You remain the data controller, and we provide the technical compliance features your website needs.
Can you write the content for my website?
Yes. We offer copywriting services for an additional fee, typically £50-75 per page. We interview you about your services and approach, then write compelling content in plain English that avoids jargon. You review and approve everything before it goes live.
Should I include pricing on my website?
It depends on your preference. Some accountants prefer to discuss pricing in person. Others find that displaying starting prices or package costs helps filter enquiries and attracts clients who are a good fit. We can help you present pricing professionally if you choose to include it.
Can you help with Making Tax Digital content?
Yes. MTD is a common concern for your clients and good content for your website. We can include pages explaining MTD requirements, which software you use (Xero, QuickBooks, FreeAgent), and how you help clients comply. This positions you as knowledgeable and helps with SEO.
