About

A studio that builds one thing: websites for firms with partners

FirmWebStudio builds and manages websites for accounting and professional services firms, on one monthly fee, with the build fee charged only after the site is live.

Who is behind it

Who builds and runs the sites?

FirmWebStudio is a website studio with one specialism: websites for accounting and professional services firms that have partners, practice areas and often more than one office. We write, design, build, host and manage the site, and on the higher plans run the AI Engine and the Content Engine as well. The firm approves; we do the work.

We deliberately do not do the firm's work. We are a website business, not an accounting, tax, audit or advisory firm, and every page we write says what a service covers without ever advising a reader. That line is why partners can let us run the site without reading every word before it goes live.

What we value

Four rules every page follows

  1. 01

    Precision over volume

    An accounting firm sells accuracy. A site that states one thing loosely undermines that, so we would rather publish less and have every line be true.

  2. 02

    Nothing invented

    No credential, year count, client number, statistic or review is published unless the firm supplied it or a source is cited.

  3. 03

    Plain prices

    Three published plans, a build fee after launch and a flat price per extra revision. No hourly billing, no scoped retainers.

  4. 04

    The firm owns what is the firm's

    The domain is registered in the firm's name, the firm's content stays the firm's, and an export is provided if it ever leaves.

How we think about the work

Three things decided before the design

01

The structure mirrors the firm

Practice groups, partners and offices map onto pages before a single design decision is made.

02

Restraint over decoration

A firm with a reputation does not need a site that shouts. Typography, rule weight and whitespace carry it.

03

Managed, not delivered once

Weekly updates and included revisions keep the site accurate as the firm itself changes.

The working method

How we work

One onboarding call, a build measured in days rather than months, weekly updates after launch, and revisions turned around in working days rather than weeks. Nobody at your firm logs in to fix anything.

  1. 01
    Onboarding

    One form of about 15 minutes and one call. The practice grid, every practice area, partner and office, is agreed before the build starts.

  2. 02
    Build

    Live in 7, 10 or 15 days depending on plan, reviewed by you on screen before it goes live.

  3. 03
    Migrate

    What is worth keeping from the old site is carried over and every valuable old URL is redirected.

  4. 04
    Launch and approve

    The site goes live on your domain. The one-time build fee is invoiced only once the firm confirms it is satisfied.

  5. 05
    Manage

    Weekly updates, 5 included revisions a month through your client portal, and researched articles on a fixed schedule.

What you can expect

What can a firm hold us to?

A reply within one working day

Every email and portal message is read by a person.

Every revision within 2 to 5 working days

Whatever its size, from a phone number to a new office page.

90+ PageSpeed, guaranteed

Checked at launch and with every weekly update; fixed at no charge if our work causes a drop.

No advice given in your name

Articles and the AI Engine never give accounting, tax or audit advice on the firm's behalf.

Where we work

Firms in every state, served remotely

Multi-partner firms cluster in the big professional markets, and that is where many of our conversations start: Texas, California, New York, Florida, Illinois and Georgia. The same process serves a two-partner firm in a smaller city. Everything, from onboarding to revisions, works without anyone travelling.

What we are not

We are not a CPA firm, accounting firm, or provider of accounting, tax, audit or assurance services. We build and run the website. Everything your clients rely on you for, every engagement, every filing, every piece of advice, stays entirely with your firm.

In their words

What working with us is like

Honestly, the redesign was nice, but the inquiry form is what changed our day-to-day. The form gathers business structure, advisory topic and reporting deadline at the start, exactly the details our follow-up messages always requested. We answer properly on the first reply far more often than we used to.

Inquiry form and response workflow for advisory consultations

My first check was simple: open the advisory consultations page on a phone and try to get in touch. Everything a visitor needs is up top, and the inquiry button stands out properly. It is far more practical than the old page when we share it with a caller.

Mobile navigation and page layout for advisory consultations

The question 'who is answering this one?' used to hang over every advisory consultations inquiry. Requests are assigned automatically, with a backup for when the owner is away. It removed a daily friction we had simply learned to live with.

Questions about who we are

01Who is behind FirmWebStudio?

FirmWebStudio is a website studio that builds and manages websites for accounting and professional services firms in the United States. We are a website business only, not a CPA or accounting firm, and the work is delivered remotely through onboarding, a live review and a client portal.

02Do you only work with accounting firms?

Our work is focused on accounting and professional services firms with partners: CPA, tax advisory, bookkeeping and controller, audit and assurance, forensic, wealth advisory, nonprofit accounting and outsourced CFO practices. That focus is why the page structure is built around practice areas, partners and offices.

03Are you accountants?

No. We are not a CPA firm, accounting firm, or provider of accounting, tax, audit or assurance services. We build and run the website; every engagement, filing and piece of advice stays with the firm.

04Where are you based, and which states do you serve?

We work with firms anywhere in the country, including Texas, California, New York, Florida, Illinois, Georgia, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Arizona. Business hours are 9:00 to 17:00 Central Time, Monday to Friday.

05Who writes the articles on our site?

Our editorial team writes them from the firm's practice areas, under the site's editorial byline by default. A partner byline is used only if the firm reviews and approves the piece first.

06How do you handle our partners' credentials?

Exactly as the firm supplies them. We never infer or invent a credential, license, designation or year count, and we update them the moment the firm tells us they have changed.

07What happens if we want to leave?

There is no fixed term. Cancel by email with the notice in the terms, the site runs to the end of the paid month, the domain is transferred to wherever the firm chooses, and we provide an export of the firm's content and articles within 14 days.

08Can we speak to someone before signing up?

Yes. Book a demo for a live walk-through of the site you would get, or email us and a person replies within one working day.
