Design and build stop stalling
Missing decisions are identified and resolved in planning, so production is not waiting on an answer nobody owns.
Decide which client relationships the website should support.
An accounting practice may offer tax, assurance, advisory and bookkeeping to different clients. Norml sets the website brief around the actual service lines, suitable enquiries and people responsible for reviewing the content.

What we do
An accounting practice may offer tax, assurance, advisory and bookkeeping to different clients. Norml sets the website brief around the actual service lines, suitable enquiries and people responsible for reviewing the content.
What needs to be clear before work begins.
The practice needs agreement on which service lines and client profiles the website will present.
Qualification criteria and any published fee boundaries must come from the firm rather than the website vendor.
What a plan prevents.
A website project needs more than a list of pages. Without the decisions written down, they get made later, by whoever happens to be in the meeting.
The brief outlives the project
An agreed, documented direction means the next team — yours or ours — can work against the same reference.
Scope arguments have a referee
When the direction is written down, a late request can be measured against it instead of quietly absorbed.
What website strategy includes.
The scope follows the practice’s actual offerings and approved information. Your team retains responsibility for technical accounting statements and client-data decisions.
Service priorities
Record the work the practice accepts and the client profiles each service supports.
Enquiry responsibilities
Agree what the first enquiry needs to establish and which person receives it.
Release scope
Define the initial pages, reviewer availability and decisions needed before production.
What clients say.
Reviews from the companies we have built and maintained websites for.
Read every review on Clutch“We didn’t choose them to be impressed — we chose them because we knew they’d deliver high-level results with no risk. As a CTO myself, that’s exactly what I look for in a long-term partnership.”
“And, you know, the great part about the fact that you hit the goal, it's not that you had to compromise anything that you were doing, because, honestly, the end result far exceeded what we could have imagined.”
“I would just say that you deliver on quality … I just thought we clicked, and you delivered what we were looking for.”
“Norml Studio's professionalism and responsiveness were impressive.”

Let's chat
“I've spent 10 years working across development and marketing. I started as a developer, but design, SEO and advertising were already part of the job. That taught me to treat a website as one system: the business, the content, the design and the code have to work together. At Norml, I lead the architecture behind our work and stay involved wherever strategy, design, development and search meet.”

Get startedWebsite strategy for accounting firms: questions.
Should CPA and bookkeeping services share a website?
They can share a site while using distinct pages and qualification questions. The decision follows the practice’s actual structure.
Do you decide our minimum engagement fee?
No. The firm supplies and approves any fee floor or eligibility criteria it wants the website to state.
Website 2.0 combines strategy, design, development and launch in one engagement.
