Accountancy and bookkeeping practices
Web Design for Accountants
Web design for accountants has a timely opportunity. Making Tax Digital for Income Tax began on 6 April 2026 for sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000, and the threshold drops in later years, so many people are searching for clear guidance and an accountant who can help. This guide covers how accountancy websites can use that demand, present fees clearly and make onboarding easy.
Making Tax Digital as a content opportunity
From 6 April 2026, sole traders and landlords with qualifying income over £50,000 must keep digital records and send quarterly updates to HMRC. The threshold falls to £30,000 from April 2027, with a further reduction to £20,000 announced for April 2028. Many affected people are confused. A clear page explaining who's affected, what changes and how you can help is useful content that brings in relevant enquiries.
Fee guides and packages
Many clients worry about cost. Packages for common needs, such as sole trader tax returns, limited company accounts or bookkeeping, with starting prices, help clients see quickly whether you're a fit. Explain what affects the final fee.
Use professional titles correctly
Professional bodies set rules about how firms describe themselves. For example, only firms that meet ICAEW's requirements can describe themselves as "Chartered Accountants". Show your professional body and any firm registration accurately.
Online onboarding
Let new clients start online: a short enquiry form, an online engagement letter and secure document upload. Explain your anti-money laundering checks so clients aren't surprised.
