Website design for bookkeepers
A bookkeeper's website has one job: get a busy owner who's behind on the books to book a call. We lay out packages they can place themselves in, the software you work in and what the first month looks like, with the discovery call a tap away. It all fits the Website launch at $499, and you pay nothing until a free first draft has your OK.
We usually recommend the Website launch: up to 5 pages, $499 once.
Monthly packages owners can place themselves in, QuickBooks or Xero named plainly, onboarding step by step and a discovery call to book.
Monthly packages laid out the way you price them, by transactions, accounts, payroll runs or hours, with what's in each and what costs extra. If you prefer to quote, we say what drives the price and invite a call.
QuickBooks Online, Xero, Gusto, Dext or Hubdoc named plainly, so an owner knows whether you'll work in their file or move them. Partner badges appear only where you hold the program status behind them.
Discovery call, access to the accounts, a catch-up or cleanup if the books are behind, then the monthly close and the reports they'll get. A few plain steps take the dread out of handing over the books.
Owners who are months behind search for exactly that. A section on catch-up bookkeeping says how you scope it and how you price it, in your own terms, and what they need to send you first.
A Book a call button on every page opens your Calendly or your practice software's scheduler, with a few questions that tell you the kind of business, the software and how far behind it is before you talk.
If you don't prepare tax returns or give tax advice, the site says so and names who does, often a CPA you work with, so owners aren't surprised at year end. Clear limits read as expertise.
Sample sites for made-up businesses, designed to show what we do: open one on your phone and try it. On your site, booking and payment buttons open the tools you already use.
Most bookkeepers say it all on a handful of pages: the packages and what they cost, how onboarding works, who you are and the software you use, and a way to book a call. That's the Website launch: up to 5 pages for $499, paid once when you launch.
The books stay in QuickBooks Online or Xero, payroll in Gusto and receipts in Dext, and the site names the tools you support. Calls book through your Calendly and proposals go out through Ignition or whatever you send them with; the site's buttons open each one, and if you switch tools we change the links.
Bookkeepers aren't CPAs, and state law keeps "CPA" and "certified public accountant" for licensed people and firms. "Certified bookkeeper" belongs on the site only if you hold that certification, named the way its issuer names it.
QuickBooks ProAdvisor and Xero partner badges belong to people in those programs, shown as each program's rules allow. We add the badges you've earned and leave off the rest.
An owner comparing three bookkeepers tends to book the one whose page shows what a month costs. If your prices vary, a starting price per package, or the things that move it, is enough.
A contact form is no place for bank details, logins or tax ID numbers. Ours asks for a name, contact details and a few questions about the business; access to the accounts comes later, through the software.
Three steps, and most of the work is ours.
The short form, or a chat with the team. Send photos, your logo, your menu: whatever you have.
Screenshots for computer and phone and a private preview link (2 to 3 business days with priority, overnight with rush). Ask for changes in plain words until it's right.
Pay the fixed launch fee only when you're happy. With the care plan, we put the site live on your domain and look after it; without it, we hand you the files to host yourself.
One fee, paid once when you launch, from $499. Choose by how many pages your site needs, or ask for a custom quote.

Most bookkeepers choose the Website launch: $499 once for up to 5 pages, paid only after you've approved a free first draft. Hosting, your domain and 4 small edits a month, such as a new package price, are the optional care plan at $49 a month; without it, the finished site is yours to host. See every price.
Yes, exactly as you set them: per month, by transactions or accounts, with what's included and what costs extra. If you'd rather quote each business, we explain what moves the price and point people to a discovery call.
Yes. We link your Calendly or your practice software's booking page from every page, with the questions you want answered before the call, so it lands in your calendar like any other meeting.
Yes. Owners often search for a Xero or QuickBooks bookkeeper by name, and saying which you work in sets expectations before the first call. A section on each tool you support, and on the ones you don't, saves both of you time.
We write the words for every page, on every launch. We start from your packages, your onboarding checklist and a short call, and you approve every page before launch, so the site promises only the work you do.
Yes, but it works by what you do and for whom more than by town: a page on bookkeeping for contractors or for restaurants matches what those owners type. No one can promise a position in search results, and SEO & AEO care on the care plan keeps tuning those pages over time.
