Why would I redesign instead of just updating my current site?

If your site is on a template platform, there's a ceiling to what updates can do. The underlying structure — how fast it loads, how search engines read it, how it behaves on mobile — is baked into the platform. A redesign lets us build those things right from the ground up.

Can I add a blog for tax season tips and updates?

Yes, and you should. A blog gives your clients a reason to come back to your site and it gives search engines fresh content to index. Tax deadline reminders, changes in filing rules, small business tips — all of that works well for a CPA site.

What happens to my current website while the new one is being built?

Nothing changes until the new site is ready to go live. Your current site stays up the entire time. Once the redesign is done and you've approved it, we swap it over. No downtime, no awkward in-between phase.

Do I need the SEO package or is the basic redesign enough?

The full website redesign includes good SEO structure — clean URLs, proper headings, fast load times. The Website+SEO package goes further with keyword research, local search setup, and content built around how people in East Texas actually search for accounting help. Depends on how aggressively you want to show up in search results.

Will the site have a contact form for new client inquiries?

That's one of the first things we set up. A simple, short form that gets straight to your inbox. Name, contact info, what they need help with. No friction, no confusion.

Website Redesign for Accountants in Wells

Tax season hits and somebody in Wells drives past your office, gets home, and types your name into Google. What they find is a website that looks like it was made for a desktop monitor nobody owns anymore. That's the moment you lose them — not on the road, but on the couch.

Your Website Isn't Keeping Up With Your Practice

You've probably updated your tax software a dozen times since your website was last touched. New forms, new filing rules, new compliance stuff — you stay current on all of it because you have to. But your website? It's still sitting there with the same layout, the same vague service descriptions, and a contact page that may or may not actually work on a phone. That gap between how sharp your practice is and how dated your site looks is a real problem.

What a CPA Website Actually Needs to Do

Accounting websites have a specific job. Someone lands on your page and they need to figure out three things fast: what services you offer, whether you seem like someone they'd trust with their finances, and how to get in touch. That's it. But most template sites bury the good stuff or make it weirdly hard to find.

A proper redesign means your services — tax prep, bookkeeping, payroll, whatever you handle — are spelled out clearly and not hidden behind some dropdown menu. It means your qualifications and background are easy to find because people want to know who's handling their money. And it means the contact form actually works and doesn't ask for fifteen things nobody wants to type on their phone.

How This Works and What It Costs

So here's the deal with a redesign versus just patching what you've got. If your current site is on one of those locked-down template platforms, you're limited. You can swap colors and maybe move some blocks around, but you can't actually fix the stuff that matters — page speed, how search engines read your site, whether it loads right on every device. A rebuild from scratch sounds dramatic but it's usually the cleaner path.

We build sites that are mobile-first, which just means we design for the phone screen before the desktop. Because that's how most people are looking at your site now. The code is clean, it loads fast, and the SEO structure is built in from day one — not bolted on later. You get a site that can hold a blog for seasonal tax tips or updates about filing deadlines, which is good for both your clients and your search rankings.

A full website redesign starts at $1,500 and takes about a week. If you want search engine work baked in from the start — keyword structure, local search setup for Wells and the surrounding Cherokee County area — that's starting at $3,500 and runs one to two weeks. Hosting is $50 a month after that. And you own everything. The code, the design, all of it. No platform lock-in, no monthly fee to some company just to keep your site visible. You want to move it somewhere else someday, go ahead. It's yours.
