What this kind of website has to do

Most people looking for a lawyer, accountant or consultant are comparing a few names and trying to work out who they'd be comfortable with. A clean, calm site that explains who you help and what happens next does more than a page full of big promises.

What your site should include

  • Who you help, in plain language. "I help small business owners sort out their books" is clearer than a list of industry terms.
  • A page for each service or practice area. Answer the questions you hear all the time.
  • Your background and a real photo. Include licenses and credentials where they matter.
  • What happens after someone contacts you. Tell them whether the first call is free, how long it takes and what to bring.
  • A simple contact form with a warning. Let people know not to send confidential details through the form.

Check your advertising rules

Licensed professions often have rules about what you can say online. Lawyers in Florida, for example, have to follow The Florida Bar's advertising rules, which affect things like claims and testimonials. I'm not a lawyer and can't sign off on compliance, so have your own review done before launch. I'll make whatever wording changes come out of it.

Mistakes I'd avoid

  • Pages written only for other professionals.
  • Stock photos of handshakes and gavels.
  • Promising results you can't promise.

What it costs

Usually the Professional package

$1,200

The Professional package usually fits, with a page for each service. A consultant with a single offer can often start with the $750 Starter package.

It's a flat price, agreed before any work starts, and you can pay in 2 or 3 payments. See what each package includes.

That's a sample I built to show the style, not a real business. You can change its colors and fonts in my configurator.

Where I work

I'm based in Fernandina Beach and work with businesses on Amelia Island and in Yulee, Jacksonville and St. Augustine. I also work remotely with owners anywhere in the U.S., so you don't need to be local to hire me.

Common questions

Can you make sure my site follows my profession's advertising rules?

I'll build it to whatever your review requires, but I can't give legal advice or approve compliance. You or your attorney should review the wording before launch.

Is it safe to have a contact form on a law or accounting site?

A form is fine for a first message, but add a short note asking people not to send confidential information through it. Sensitive documents should go through a secure method you already use.

How much does a professional services website cost?

Most fit my $1,200 Professional package, and simple sites start at $750.
