Online booking with checklists
Clients choose a preparer and a time, then receive a what-to-bring list for their documents.
The Problem
Your Busiest Weeks Run on Phone Tag and Email Attachments
It shows up every January. Clients can't book online, documents arrive by email, and the site goes quiet after the filing deadline, right when notices and amendments start.
01 · Inbox uploads
Clients email tax documents as unencrypted attachments.
A secure upload step through your client portal replaces email attachments.
02 · Phone tag
Booking happens by phone during your busiest weeks.
Online booking with a what-to-bring checklist fills your calendar while you prepare returns.
03 · April cliff
The site goes quiet the day after the filing deadline.
Pages for IRS notices, amendments, and resolution work bring clients back all year.
04 · Thin trust
Nothing shows who prepares the return or their credentials.
Preparer bios show the credentials you confirm, such as EA, CPA, or AFSP.
It's the third week of January, and your phone hasn't stopped. A client emails a photo of their W-2 and last year's return, unencrypted, to your Gmail. Two more want to book but can't find open times on your site, so they call while you're mid-return. Your website still lists last year's hours and says nothing about IRS notices or amended returns. In May, the calls stop completely, and so does your income.
We start with your season calendar. Clients book online, get a checklist of what to bring, and upload documents through your client portal instead of email. Preparer bios show the credentials you confirm. Year-round pages for IRS notices, amended returns, and resolution work keep the site useful after the deadline. Your phone rings for real tax questions, not for scheduling.
Booking with a checklist
Clients pick a time and get a what-to-bring list for W-2s, 1099s, and last year's return.
Uploads that skip email
Documents go through your client portal, so Social Security numbers stay out of inboxes.
Work after April
Pages for IRS notices, amended returns, and extensions keep clients coming back through October.
Our Tax Office Website Process
From Season Plan to Launch in Five Clear Steps
You approve the season plan, page copy with credentials you confirm, a clickable design, a tested booking and upload flow, and the launch date.
We look at your services, credentials, busiest months, and how clients book and send documents today. You get a sitemap, a booking and upload plan, and a fixed price, timed to launch before January.
What's Included

What Our Clients Say
What Clients Say After Launch
Feedback from teams we have built websites for.
We had a pretty specific idea of what we wanted our website to become, but I wasn’t sure how easily we could explain all of it to a development team. There were quite a few moving parts, and we were working toward a deadline, so I expected a few things to get lost along the way. That never really happened. They understood what we were trying to achieve, kept us updated throughout the process, and got everything ready within the agreed timeline. The final site feels much easier to navigate, works beautifully on mobile, and is noticeably smoother for our customers. It was a huge relief seeing the original idea actually turn into the website we had in mind.
The mobile experience is probably my favourite part of the new site. We had spent a lot of time making sure the desktop version looked right, and the team kept pushing us to think about how everything would actually feel on a phone too. They were right. The navigation is clean, the interactions feel natural, and everything we’ve tested so far works exactly as it should. They also went through the links, forms, integrations, and other details more than once before launch, which I really appreciated. And even after going live, we could still reach out when something came up. The whole process felt friendly, organised, and surprisingly straightforward.
What I appreciate most is that the website is actually easy for us to manage now. We can update content ourselves instead of sending a developer a message every time we need to change something small. They also paid attention to the technical SEO side, which mattered to us because we didn’t want a new website to create problems for the traffic we already had. I’ve probably asked more questions than I should have since launch, but every question has been handled patiently and without any fuss. The team is easy to work with, they explain things clearly, and when we need something changed, they focus on getting it done rather than making the process complicated.

Work Culture
Why Tax Preparers Trust Us With Their Website
Your clients hand you their most sensitive numbers. These habits keep their documents out of email, your credentials accurate, and your site ready before every January.
Tax documents stay out of email
We route every upload through your portal instead of a contact form attachment. The FTC Safeguards Rule expects tax preparers to protect client data under a written security plan.
Launch dates set by the season
We plan backward from January, so your site is live and tested before the first W-2s arrive. A launch in mid-February helps nobody in your office.
Credentials you confirm
We publish EA, CPA, and AFSP details only after you confirm them. Clients can look preparers up in the IRS directory, so a wrong credential costs trust fast.
Fees you can stand behind
If you publish prices, we add an updated date and make changes easy. Circular 230 section 10.30 holds practitioners to published fees for at least 30 days afterward.
Honest about what you need
If a Google Business Profile already brings more clients than you can serve, we'll tell you before we quote. A site earns its cost when you want online booking and year-round work.
Your accounts, your clients
Domain, hosting, and booking tools sit in your office's name. If you leave a franchise or change vendors, your site and client bookings go with you.

Good fit
Independent preparers going solo
You're leaving a franchise office to work for yourself, and you need websites for tax preparers that look established before your first January.
Enrolled agents handling IRS notices
Your best work is notices, audits, and payment plans, but your current site only talks about filing returns once a year.
Seasonal storefront tax offices
You open a storefront every January, hire seasonal preparers, and lose walk-in clients to whoever answers the phone first.
Bilingual offices serving Spanish speakers
Your clients prefer Spanish, but your website, booking form, and document checklist are only in English.
Preparers moving clients online
You still collect W-2s and 1099s by email or in person, and you want a secure upload step before every appointment.
Not a fit
Full CPA or accounting firm
You run an accounting firm with audit, advisory, and bookkeeping partners. CPA Website Design Services covers that buyer and its service mix.
Only a portal connection
You already have a site and only need your client portal connected. TaxDome Client Portal & Website Integration covers that job on its own.
Only want more local calls
Your site works and you mainly need map pack visibility. Local SEO Services for Accountants & CPAs focuses on your Google Business Profile and reviews.
Budget under $950
Your budget is under $950, or a Google Business Profile brings all the clients you can handle. Keep the profile and revisit a site later.

Our tax office sites start at $950 for up to 7 pages with online booking, a secure upload link, and credentials you confirm. Year-round offices with notice and amendment pages start at $2,250, and multi-office firms at $4,600. You get a fixed quote after a free discovery call.
Launch by early December, so booking and uploads are tested before January. A solo site takes 2 to 3 weeks, and multi-office sites take 4 to 6 weeks. Starting in October also leaves time to update your Google Business Profile before clients start searching for a preparer.
At minimum: your services, online booking, a what-to-bring checklist, a secure way to send documents, and who prepares the returns. Year-round pages for IRS notices, amended returns, and payment plans keep the site working after April. Spanish pages help offices that serve bilingual families.
Through a secure portal, not email or a basic contact form. We link the upload step to TaxDome or the portal you already use, so files land in the client's folder. IRS Publication 4557 explains why: it covers how tax professionals should safeguard taxpayer data under the FTC Safeguards Rule.
It applies to your business, and your website is one way client data reaches you. The FTC Safeguards Rule covers tax preparers and expects a written information security plan. We document how the site's forms, uploads, and hosting handle data, so you can add it to your plan with your own advisor.
Yes, many do. Circular 230 section 10.30 lets practitioners publish fixed fees, hourly rates, and fee ranges. A published fee then holds for at least 30 calendar days after its last publication. We add an updated date to your fee page and make changes easy. Your own compliance review decides the wording.
Only the ones you hold and confirm: CPA, enrolled agent, attorney, or an AFSP Record of Completion. We place them in preparer bios and the footer. Clients can check preparers in the IRS directory of federal tax return preparers with credentials, so accuracy matters more than a long list.
It gives them reasons to come back. Pages for IRS notices, amended returns, extensions, payment plans, and bookkeeping turn a seasonal site into a year-round one. We add a short notice-help form, since clients who get an IRS letter in July often search online before they call anyone.
Yes, if a real share of your clients prefer Spanish. We translate the homepage, services, booking, and checklists, with hreflang tags so search engines show the right version. A Spanish booking flow helps more than a translated blog, so we start there and add pages as your office grows.
Support lasts 30, 45, or 60 days after launch, depending on your plan, and covers fixes, booking changes, and help with seasonal updates. After that, your team edits hours, fees, and banners in the CMS, or a care plan handles updates. Your domain, hosting, and booking accounts stay in your office's name.
