Can you add a client portal or login area to the site?

We can link to whatever portal software you already use — most CPA firms have a document sharing tool like SmartVault or Canopy. We'd make that login link easy to find so existing clients aren't hunting for it. Building a custom portal from scratch is a separate project, but connecting to one you already have is standard.

Do I need a blog on my accounting website?

You don't *need* one, but it helps more than most accountants expect. A handful of posts about tax deadlines, deduction tips, or changes to Texas franchise tax law gives Google fresh content to index. It also gives potential clients a reason to trust you before they ever call. Even four or five solid posts a year can make a difference.

What happens to my current website during the redesign?

Nothing. Your existing site stays live the entire time. We build the new one separately and only switch it over when everything's finished and you've approved it. There's no downtime, no awkward "under construction" page.

I only really get busy during tax season — is a new website still worth it?

That's exactly when it matters most. When someone in Henderson or anywhere in Rusk County searches for tax help in February, they're ready to hire somebody right then. If your site doesn't load well on a phone or doesn't clearly explain what you do, they're gone. The rest of the year, a good site brings in bookkeeping and payroll leads that keep revenue steadier.

Will I be able to update the site myself after it's built?

Yes. We can set it up so you can make basic content changes — updating service descriptions, adding blog posts, changing staff bios. For anything structural, we're a quick call or email away. And because you own the code, you're never locked in.

Website Redesign for Accountants in Henderson

Your website is doing the opposite of what it's supposed to do. If you're a CPA or accounting firm in Henderson and your site hasn't been touched in a few years, it's actively turning away the new clients you need — during tax season and every other month too.

The Quiet Problem with Most Accounting Websites

People looking for a CPA in Rusk County aren't browsing casually. They need help. Tax deadline coming, payroll's a mess, they just started a business and have no idea what an S-corp election even means. They Google it, they find you, they tap your site on their phone — and it loads sideways, or the text is microscopic, or the contact form doesn't work. So they hit back and call the next firm on the list. You never hear about it because there's nothing to hear. It's just silence where a new client should've been.

What an Accounting Website Actually Needs to Do

An accounting firm's website has a pretty specific job, and it's not to look "corporate." It needs to clearly explain what you handle — tax preparation, bookkeeping, payroll, advisory work, whatever your firm offers — in language that normal people understand. Not every potential client knows the difference between a CPA and an enrolled agent. Your site should make that obvious without reading like a textbook.

It also needs a contact form that works. Not a generic "message us" box buried somewhere, but a real intake form that helps you qualify leads before you ever pick up the phone. New client looking for quarterly payroll? Great, you know that before the first conversation. Someone wanting help with back taxes from 2019? Different conversation entirely. A good form saves you time.

And then there's the stuff people forget — your firm's story, your qualifications, maybe a blog with seasonal tax tips that actually helps your SEO instead of just sitting there. A page that says "we've been in business since 1987" is fine, but a page that explains *why that matters to someone picking an accountant in Henderson* is better.

How We'd Rebuild It

We're a web design shop in Tyler, and we build sites from scratch. No templates, no page builders, no monthly platform fees where someone else owns your website. You get actual code that belongs to you, hosted on fast infrastructure, designed mobile-first because that's how most people are going to find you — especially during January through April when everyone suddenly remembers they need a CPA.

The redesign process starts with understanding your firm. What services matter most? Who are your best clients? Are you trying to grow your bookkeeping side, or are you mostly tax prep? That changes the structure of the site, the calls-to-action, where we put the emphasis. A solo practitioner near the Rusk County Courthouse needs a different site than a five-person firm trying to pull clients from across East Texas.

We build with clean SEO structure from the start — proper page titles, logical hierarchy, fast load times. Not the kind of "SEO" where someone stuffs keywords into your footer and calls it a day. The kind where Google can actually read your site and figure out that you're a real accounting firm in a real place offering real services. A full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. If you want ongoing SEO and ad management built in, that's a different conversation — Website+SEO packages start at $3,500.

We also handle hosting at $50/mo, which keeps the site fast, secure, and updated without you thinking about it. You're an accountant. You should be doing accounting, not wondering why your SSL certificate expired.
