Accountants Website Design Prices
Fixed prices for accountancy practice websites, agreed before work begins. A custom-designed website for an accountancy practice starts from £2,400, a site with an admin dashboard you update yourself from £3,900, and managed hosting from £20 a month. Here is what those figures buy for a practice and what moves a quote.
The Cost of an Accountancy Practice Website, Explained
Our prices are published and apply to every sector, because the design and engineering behind a two-partner practice's website are the same as for any other business. What differs is what the site has to contain, and for accountants that is usually a page for each service, client-type pages, a pricing page, a portal login, a discovery call route and the professional body details, which all fit within the starting price.
For the starting price you get a site of up to around ten pages, designed from scratch and hand-coded rather than assembled from a theme. The website with an admin dashboard adds a secure area where you publish guides, update packages and add team members yourself, for practices that want a resource rather than a brochure. A logo is quoted alongside if you need one, and the figure we give you is fixed before work starts.

Three Typical Accountants Website Projects
New sole practitioner launching
A newly qualified accountant setting up alone: home, four service pages, one client-type page, pricing, about and contact, with professional body and supervisor details, a discovery call link and room for specialism pages later.
Established practice replacing a template site
A two-partner firm leaving an accountancy marketing company's monthly plan: eight to ten pages covering services, specialisms and fees, a portal login, reviews pulled through, team profiles and redirects from the old pages.
Growing firm with guides and resources
A practice that wants to publish Making Tax Digital guides, a tax calendar and client stories itself, keep packages current and add staff as it hires, with an admin dashboard and secure enquiry storage.
What the Starting Price Includes for Accountants
- A custom design built around your practice and the clients you want, approved as mockups before any code is written.
- Up to around ten pages, typically home, a page per service, client-type pages, pricing, Making Tax Digital, about and contact.
- A discovery call booking link, an enquiry form and a prominent client portal login, tested so every enquiry reaches you.
- Professional body, anti-money-laundering supervisor and software partner details displayed in line with each organisation's rules, with reviews pulled through.
- Fast, mobile-first pages with the search engine foundations for local and specialism searches, a sitemap and Google Business Profile alignment.
- Launch to managed cloud hosting from £20 a month, or the complete code handed over to host wherever you choose.
What Changes the Price of an Accountancy Practice Website
- The number of service and client-type pages: a sole practitioner with four services needs fewer than a firm with several partners and a dozen specialisms.
- A custom client portal with logins, document storage and messaging, rather than a link to the portal your software provides, which moves the project to the from £3,900 package.
- Online booking for discovery calls and review meetings across several diaries, with reminders and pre-call forms.
- An admin dashboard for publishing guides, deadlines and team changes yourself, and integrations with your practice management or proposal software.
- Logo and brand design, quoted alongside the website if the practice needs one.
- Copywriting for the service pages and guides, and photography, if you would rather we arranged them than supplied them yourself.
Every website is quoted individually, so the final figure depends on what your accountancy practice actually needs. Our website design brief template helps you list those needs so that we can give you an accurate fixed price.
How Our Prices Compare for Accountants
Accountants are sold websites in two main ways. Accountancy marketing companies offer template sites with pre-written content for a monthly fee, but the design and the words are shared with many other practices, the fee continues indefinitely and the site is never yours, so leaving means starting again. Website builders such as Wix and Squarespace are cheaper still, but you do the design and the search engine work yourself, and it shows.
Agencies commonly quote £6,000 to £20,000 or more for a small business website, while experienced freelancers and small studios typically charge £2,000 to £6,000. Our accountancy websites start from £2,400, designed and coded in-house, with a fixed price agreed in advance and a site you own outright, so there is no monthly licence. That is the lower end of what a studio charges, with no shared template and no fee that never ends.

How a Project Runs
- Your requirements. On a call, you tell us about your business, your customers and what the website needs to do, and we give you a fixed quotation.
- Logic and visuals. We plan the site structure and create visual mockups for your approval before anything is built.
- Development. We build the website, keep you updated and give you a realistic completion date.
- Testing and launch. You review the finished site on a test server, we refine it, and then we launch it or hand over the files.
Most websites take three to six weeks from brief to launch, provided the content is ready. Our guide to the website design process explains each stage, and the timescales guide shows what a typical schedule looks like.

Accountants Website Price Questions
Is £2,400 the full price for an accountancy practice website?
For most practices, yes. A custom-designed site of up to around ten pages with service and client-type pages, pricing, a portal login, a discovery call link and your professional body details is covered by the starting price. The figure rises if you want a custom portal, an admin dashboard for publishing guides yourself, integrations or many more pages, and the price is fixed before we start.
Does the price include a client portal?
It includes a prominent login to the portal your practice software already provides, plus a secure upload form for new clients, and for most practices that is all a website needs. Building a portal of your own, with client accounts, document storage and messaging, is a quoted project on the website with admin dashboard package, from £3,900, and we will tell you honestly whether your practice needs it.
How does the cost compare with an accountancy website provider's monthly plan?
A monthly plan looks cheap in the first year, but it never ends, the design is shared and you cannot take the site with you. Our website is a one-off project from £2,400 that you own, and the only ongoing cost is hosting from £20 a month. Over the years the fixed price usually works out lower, and the site is yours to move or extend.
Does the price include writing the service pages and guides?
The design, build and structure are included, and we plan every page with you. The words themselves are either supplied by you, which most accountants prefer because the content is technical, or written by us as a copywriting service quoted on request. Guides and Making Tax Digital updates are best published by the practice over time, which is what the admin dashboard is for.
What does the admin dashboard add for an accountancy practice?
A secure area where you publish guides and deadline reminders, update your packages when fees change, add new team members and specialism pages, and store enquiries and documents safely rather than in an inbox. It suits practices that want the site to be a resource clients return to between year-ends. A sole practitioner launching with five pages rarely needs it on day one.
Our main prices page and FAQ cover payment terms, hosting and ownership in more detail. For what the website itself should include, see accountants website design, or startup accountants website design if you are launching a new business.
