Websites for an accountant, solicitor or financial adviser
Chosen in private, long before the first call.
We build websites for accountants, solicitors and financial advisers across Bude, North Cornwall and North Devon: your fees and background set out plainly, and a way to book a first consultation that doesn't need a phone call during office hours. A website starts at £1,195, or we build it free from £25 a month.
From £25 a month, or from £1,195Every price
“The same three families have sent you every client for twenty years. The one who's new to that trade is searching for a solicitor alone, on a phone, at ten at night, and yours is the website that still looks like it went up in 2014.”
A site that shows a stranger who you are, what a consultation costs, and how to book one, so the search they did alone at night ends with your name, not the practice down the road.
Trust that took twenty years now happens in minutes.
The words below are the ones you use. We write the site in them rather than translating them into something a stranger would say.
Word of mouth built the client list you have now. The same handful of families sent you their friends fifteen years ago, and some send you their grown-up children today. That trade doesn't need a website. What needs one is the enquiry that arrives without an introduction: someone new to Stratton buying their first house, a self-employed plumber in Holsworthy staring at his year-end accounts who finally wants an accountant instead of a spreadsheet, a widow in Bideford who's just inherited a pension and doesn't know who to ask.
That person doesn't ring round three practices out loud the way they might ask about a plumber over the garden fence. They search on their own, at night, on a phone, before they've told anyone they need the help. They look for a name and a face on the about page, for what you actually charge or at least how the fee structure works, and they decide whether to ring you before you know they exist. If the site hasn't changed since it went up, that's the answer they take away, whether or not it's true.
None of that replaces the qualifications, the engagement letter and the conversation that follow once someone is actually instructing you. It just decides who gets asked. A site that says plainly who's behind the practice, what an initial consultation involves and how to book one is doing the same job the recommendation used to do, for the client who never got a recommendation.

Legal Services Consumer Panel, Tracker Survey, 2024
41%of people who'd used a solicitor shopped around and compared more than one before choosing, up from 39% the year before
Source: Legal Services Consumer Panel, Tracker Survey, 2024. Sample: 3,633 UK adults who'd used a solicitor or other legal service in the past two years. The tracker only covers legal services, not accountants or financial advisers, but the same quiet comparison shopping applies across all three.

Not a feature list. These are the things a customer of yours is trying to do, and where each one has to sit before they give up and ring somebody else.
| What it needs | Why, for you | Where it goes |
|---|---|---|
| Who's behind the practice | A stranger who's never met you decides whether to ring from a name and a face, not a stock photograph of a handshake. | An about page with real names and a plain line on background and experience |
| How your fees work | Not knowing the fee structure stops the call before it starts. A starting figure, a range, or 'fixed fee, ask us' moves someone from reading to ringing. | Its own page, or a line under each service |
| A way to book an initial consultation | Ringing during office hours to ask for an appointment is the exact call the person searching at night was trying to avoid. | A button in the first screen, wired to the diary you already use |
| The work you actually take | Conveyancing, probate, a self-assessment return, a portfolio review: naming the service is what a search matches, not 'professional services'. | A page per service, linked from the menu |
| Hours, address and phone number that match Google | A wrong detail online is one more reason to ring the practice next door instead. | First screen, footer and the Google Business Profile, all identical |
| A way to ask a question without ringing | Some of what brings someone to you, a house purchase, a death in the family, a business in trouble, is easier to type at midnight than to say out loud on the phone. | A short enquiry form, next to the phone number and the booking link |
What we’d do first.
Before a rebuild, before a rebrand, before anything with a monthly fee attached to it. In this order, for an accountant, solicitor or financial adviser.
Your fees explained in plain words, a range or 'fixed fee, ask us', so the first enquiry knows what they're walking into before they ring.
A booking link for an initial consultation that doesn't need a call during office hours, wired to the diary you already use.
Who's actually behind the practice, in a name and a few lines people can read, so a stranger can decide to trust you before they've met you.
And what we wouldn’t bother with
A client login portal
Building bespoke online account access is a lot of build for the handful of people who'd use it before they've even signed. The document-sharing or fee-payment system you already use does that job; the website's job is only to get someone to the first consultation.
The words your customers actually type.
Not keywords. Half-sentences, typed with one thumb, usually within a few miles of you and usually about to spend money.

Every one of those is either a page on your site or a line on your Google Business Profile, and usually both. Local SEO and the Google profile is priced on its own, set up once and kept right through the season.

What that takes, and what it costs.
Every one of these has a published price. Where it’s a range, a short call turns it into one fixed figure in writing before any work begins.

Most of what we can show you so far is holiday parks, glamping and holiday home sales, built by the same two people under our holiday-park name. The thinking is the same and the figures on each study are lab measurements, stated in full. See the work.
Care plans, marketing and the smaller extras are all on the pricing page. When you know what you need, start your project.
The questions we get, answered straight.
Most of our clients come from word of mouth. Do we need a website at all?
The word of mouth carries on regardless of what the site does. What the site catches is the enquiry that arrives without an introduction: someone new to the area, or whose usual contact has retired. If that person searches and finds a page that looks abandoned, they ring the practice that didn't. A website is there for exactly that call, priced to what you need it to do.
Should we put our fees on the site?
At least how the fee structure works, yes. A starting figure, a range, or a plain 'fixed fee, ask us for a quote' moves someone from reading to ringing. We won't tell you what to charge, only that leaving the page blank leaves the decision to whoever is comparing you against a practice that did say.
Can people book an initial consultation without phoning during the day?
Yes. We wire in whatever diary or booking system you already use, so a first consultation can be requested at ten at night without anyone answering a phone. If you don't use a booking system yet, we'll talk you through what suits a practice your size before you pay for one.
What does a website cost, and will you write about our qualifications and regulation?
A Fast-Track Website, from £1,195, covers the pages, your fee structure explained in plain words and a booking link for an initial consultation. Google Business Profile setup is £90 on top of that. Hosting and updates are the care plan, from £60 a month. Or we build it free from £25 a month on a pay-monthly plan. Every price is on our pricing page, and a range is fixed in writing before we start. We write the words about what you do; what you're required or permitted to say about your own qualifications and regulated status is yours to check before anything goes live, because that call belongs to you and your regulator, not us.

We look at it the way one of your customers would: on a phone, in a hurry, on a Bude signal. Then you get an email from Leonard or Rebecca with the one thing to fix first and roughly what it would cost.
The check costs nothing and there is no sales call after it.
