Build Your Firm Accounting Website Packages offers a variety of web building solutions for accounting firms of any size. Build Your Firm offers three different types of website plans; the Premier Plan, which is best suited for smaller accounting firms; the Niche Plan, which is a good solution for firms that specialize in a particular industry, or niche; and the Custom Plan, which is best suited for mid-sized to larger firms that are looking for a completely customized website.

Extremely scalable, Build Your Firm also offers three hosting levels, with users able to scale up to the next level if desired. All plans can be hosted at any level, with all levels offering full SEO capability, an email newsletter, content library, and a social media posting wizard.

Build Your Firm does not use web templates, but creates every website from scratch, using their in-house staff to create custom content for each site. Build Your Firm also handles all subsequent website changes as well.

Those interested in Build Your Firm websites will first need to determine the plan type and hosting level they wish to purchase. They would then provide Build Your Firm employees with relevant data in order for them to begin building the website, including staff and partner information, key employee bios, the company logo, a list of services and/or specialty services offered by the firm, along with any other information that they wish to be included on the website. Firms without a current logo can choose one from Build Your Firm or can request a custom logo, if desired.

Specialized content such as articles and other resources are available from Build Your Firm, and a variety of other options can be added to the site, including custom graphics, videos, and slides. Firms can also choose to use some of over 600 stock photos included in the Build Your Firm library.

Firms can be reassured that their completed site will not resemble another site, as all websites are custom built around the needs of each firm. The Professional hosting level offers up to 6 email accounts for a firm, and the Platinum level hosting option offers unlimited email addresses for firms of any size. Domain management is also included in the cost of hosting the website, and users can point multiple domain names to a single website if desired.

Each firm receives an assigned consultant upon sign-up, with the consultant serving as the point of contact for any issues or problems that may arise. The consultant can also assist firms with email setup and any domain registration or domain management issues.
