From the Oct. 2018 reviews of Website Builders for accounting firms.

Integer from Tenenz is a good fit for small to mid-sized accounting firms that are looking for easy website creation and high quality marketing automation tools. The product has expanded its offerings from the last review, with three plans available; Essentials, Marketing Starter, and Marketing Pro. All plans offer more than 125 accounting and tax website templates and the ability to add an unlimited number of pages to any website.

Integer offers standard default pages such as Home, Services, About Us, Financial Calculators, with more options available to add, including Contact, Newsletter, Make a Payment, and others. All default pages can be custom labeled to suit the needs of the firm. Users can choose a template that fits their needs, or choose to use Integer designers that can create a custom template from scratch. All Integer plans offer a monthly newsletter blog, and the Marketing plans also include numerous content options, including an email newsletter, weekly tax tips, client tax videos, and various automated social media tools.
