Website Design for Accountants

Neda Yavari, who founded Proxima and runs it on her own. She designs, writes, builds and optimises your website herself. The person on your first call is the person who builds the site and answers your emails after launch, and there are no account managers in between.

Through your own client portal. It shows every stage of the project, lets you comment on the designs at phone, tablet and desktop sizes, and records your approval of each stage. Your files live there too, and you get an email when something needs you. You can still call or email Neda whenever you like.

It depends on the package and on how many services and client types the site covers. A Presence build is the quickest, Authority takes longer and Dominance longer again. You get a firm timeline on the proposal. Content is the usual cause of delay on a practice website, so the service page copy is planned at the start rather than left to the end.

A limited company or LLP must show its registered name, its registered number, the part of the UK it is registered in and its registered office address on its website, under the Companies Act 2006 and the Trading Disclosures Regulations 2015. Every service provider has to make its legal status, contact details, VAT number where registered, professional body and title where it belongs to one, terms and any professional indemnity insurance details available under the Provision of Services Regulations 2009, and a website is one of the places the regulations allow. Every Proxima build sets these out and links the complaints procedure and the privacy notice from the enquiry form.

Yes. By law anyone can call themselves an accountant, but 'chartered accountant', 'chartered certified accountant' and the letters after a member's name are controlled by the professional bodies, and each body has rules on who may use its logo and how a firm may describe itself. The website carries the description and the logo your body permits for your firm, and names your anti-money-laundering supervisor.

Yes. SEO optimised copywriting is part of the Authority and Dominance packages, and can be added to a Presence build page by page. Each service page is written for the client who needs that service and for the search they make, the facts on it are checked against gov.uk, and you review every page before launch.

That is what the local SEO is for. The pages name the town or borough as well as the service, schema markup states where the practice is and what it does, and on Authority and Dominance your Google Business Profile is set up for the office's exact address. Rankings in the map results also depend on reviews arriving steadily, which the SEO Growth Plan works on after launch. We won't promise first page positions.

The site links to the booking, client portal and onboarding tools the practice already uses, so a new client can book a first call or find where to send their records from the page they landed on. Deeper integrations are custom work, included in the Dominance package and scoped as an extra on the others.

If all you need is a simple page with your contact details, a builder may be enough, and we will say so on the call. A Proxima website is designed for your practice and written for the searches your clients make, and it is built on a visual editor, so you keep the ease of editing a builder gives.

Yes. Anything on the current site worth keeping is brought across, every old page address is redirected to its new page, and rankings are checked after launch so the practice carries on from where it was. If the site only needs better pages and SEO rather than a rebuild, we will tell you.

Yes. Websites for bookkeepers, AAT licensed members, tax advisers and payroll bureaus follow the same process as a build for a chartered firm: the review, the page plan, the firm details and the launch checks, with the services and the search plan adapted to the practice.

Yes. The website, the domain and the content belong to the practice. You can take full ownership whenever you choose, and ongoing management through a Website Care Plan is optional.
