Website for your firm in Rio de Janeiro

You run an accounting, law or consulting firm in Rio, in Centro, Botafogo or Barra. You do not sell a product: you sell trust. Someone hands you their company's numbers, a lawsuit or a strategic decision. Your website needs to be sober and precise, and clear about what you do, for whom and how you charge.

What a business owner checks before calling you

Clearly defined services

Company formation, bookkeeping, payroll, tax planning, contracts, litigation, management consulting: for each service, say what is included and who it is for. The self-employed professional who only wants their income tax sorted needs to see at a glance that they are in the right place. It also spares you requests that do not fit.

Fees or packages

Not every firm publishes fees, and in law the OAB (the Brazilian bar association) restricts what may be advertised. Where it is allowed, a monthly price per package, or at least a starting price, makes it easier for a business owner to get in touch. Where it is not, the same page explains how you arrive at your price.

How you work, in steps

Switching accounting firms or advisors feels like a hassle. Explain how it goes: initial conversation, transfer of the documentation, the monthly rhythm and the year-end close. People who know what is coming hesitate less.

One main action: the first conversation

No form with twenty fields, but one button that repeats on every page: schedule a conversation. In the template, that happens by phone, WhatsApp or e-mail, with a note on how long the conversation takes.

Who is on the other side

A photo, your background and who the client's fixed point of contact will be. Mention your registration with the CRC (the accounting council) or the OAB, and the firm's CNPJ (company registration number). Verifiable facts build more trust than adjectives.

Facts instead of promises

The template has a facts block: since when you have been practicing, how fast you reply, how many fixed points of contact a client has. Put only true numbers there, ones you can stand behind. One honest number is worth more than four impressive ones.

Mistakes on accounting, law and consulting websites

  • "We take care of everything so you can focus on your business." Sentences that would fit any website say nothing about yours. Write down what you concretely do.
  • No indication of price, nor of how it is formed. The visitor has to call to find out whether you fit their budget. That is a high barrier.
  • A list of services without an audience. Do you also serve companies under the Simples Nacional (the simplified tax regime for small businesses)? Startups? Condominiums? Self-employed professionals? Say so.
  • An abandoned news page. A last post about a tax rule from years ago does more harm than no news at all.
  • A form as the only way in. Some business owners just want to call. Keep the number in plain sight.
  • A content management system with plugins nobody updates. People who handle financial and legal data, of all people, do not want a hacked website with their own name on it. That is why I build in pure HTML and CSS by default, without a database.

The template

Office: sober and trustworthy

The example is a fictitious accounting and consulting firm. The numbers and names shown there are invented too; your site will contain only your own data.

  • Home: services in a grid, how you work in four steps and the facts block
  • Services: what is included in each and who it is for
  • Fees: packages with a monthly price and a comparison table, where they may be published
  • About and contact: who you are, your registrations and how to schedule a conversation

Four pages in the example, 1 to 3 in the Start package. If you are a consultant with a clear offer, Start works well. A firm with several services and packages needs all four pages and ends up with the Plus package (up to 6 pages) or the offer (up to 4 pages).

The price of a website for your firm

A fixed price, agreed in advance, the same as on the pricing page, and the price shown is the final amount. With Plus, each service gets its own page. That helps when someone searches, say, for payroll together with the name of their neighborhood: they land on a page about exactly that.

How the project runs

I work remotely from the Netherlands. For a firm, that tends to be practical: meetings are by video, at a time that suits you, and the rest goes by e-mail or WhatsApp, with everything recorded in writing.

  1. Step 1

    Conversation and quote

    A 30-minute video call. Within 2 business days you receive a quote with a fixed price.

  2. Step 2

    The firm's content

    You send services, how you work, fees or criteria, team and registrations. I edit the texts for the web, without empty adjectives.

  3. Step 3

    Test version

    You check the site at a test address, at your own pace, and send your corrections in one round.

  4. Step 4

    Live

    Published in 2 to 3 weeks, on your domain, with hosting and maintenance on the Basic or Complete plan.

Questions from accounting, law and consulting firms

Do I have to publish my fees on the website?

No, but it helps visitors judge whether you fit what they are looking for. The template has room for packages with a monthly price and a comparison table. If you do not want to, or may not, mention amounts, as in law, the same page explains how you arrive at your price.

Can I have a client area with a login on the site?

A login area is not part of the template. It is a custom development project: a protected environment, properly isolated and verified. You receive a fixed price for it after the initial conversation.

I want to publish an article now and then. Is that possible?

The template deliberately has no blog, because a blog that stops works against you. A single article is possible, as an extra page. A new page with its own text takes about 2 hours, at R$ 290 per hour, and you receive an estimate first.

How secure is my website?

Your site is built, by default, from pure HTML and CSS, without a database and without a content management system with plugins. There is little to attack. It runs on a server with a strict security configuration, daily backups and monitoring, on a server in the European Union. I work in information security every day, so this is the part where I am most demanding.
