Website design for contractor accountants

Yes, and this is the niche where it matters most. Contractors are comparing three or four firms on price and inclusions. A firm that will not say what it charges gets dropped from the shortlist before anyone reads the About page.

IR35 status explainers, an inside-versus-outside calculator, umbrella versus limited comparisons, and dividend planning. These are the questions contractors actually search, and they are commercially valuable because the person asking is choosing an accountant.

It earns its place. Most contractors are already with someone and stay out of inertia. A page that names the timescale and says you handle the professional clearance removes the main reason they do not move.

FreeAgent dominates among contractors, partly because some banks include it. Xero and QuickBooks matter too. Whichever you use, the login belongs in your header, not buried on a contact page.

From £1,450 for a five page Practice Starter build. Most contractor practices take Practice Growth at £2,950, because the IR35 tools, pricing page and switching flow need the extra pages. A £50 a month care plan runs alongside.

A monthly fee stated openly, a take-home pay calculator, a plain explanation of what is inside the fee and what is not, your position on IR35 and inside-IR35 work, the software you use, and how switching works. Contractors compare four firms in an evening and the one that hides its price is the one that gets dropped first.

In practice, yes. This is the one accountancy niche where the buyer genuinely does compare on a monthly figure, because the competing offers are packaged that way. A firm that will not say its number is competing against three that will.

Yes, and it is included in Growth and Authority builds. It runs in the browser with no third party involved, collects an email at the point someone wants the full breakdown, and is one of the most reliable enquiry sources a contractor practice can have.

By explaining the rules and your process rather than making determinations in public. We write it as what the legislation says, what you do for a client, and what falls to the end client or the fee payer. Anything that reads as an unsubstantiated claim gets flagged before you sign it off.

Yes, and they should be separate pages. They are two different buyers with two different questions, and a single page trying to serve both usually converts neither.

Three to four weeks for a five page Starter build and five to six weeks for Growth with the calculator and integrations, measured from the day the brief arrives.
