Website Template — self-hosted
The Accountant Website Kit
Puts your fees on the first screen. That honesty is the whole strategy.
£99
One-off payment — HTML, CSS and guides, yours to keep. You host it yourself; see what that involves below.
What you're getting
Built around the thing most accountancy sites hide: what it costs. A fee ledger on the first screen, every price on one page, and a switching section that kills the it's-too-awkward objection.
The example site is Alder & Gale, a fictional Woking practice. Everything it says is the kind of thing your site should say, with your details in place of theirs.
What this requires from you
Read this before you buy.
This is a self-hosted template, not a hosted service. No calls, no setup, no hosting and no support from Federica are included at this price. Buying it gets you the files and guides — getting a live website is on you. Here's exactly what that means:
- •A domain name — About £10 a year from a registrar like Namecheap or 123 Reg. You buy and own this, not Federica.
- •Free hosting, set up by you — Netlify's free tier works. The launch checklist in the kit walks through connecting your domain to it, step by step.
- •Your own edits — Swap the example text, photos and colours for yours using the editor built into every page. No code, but nobody does it for you.
- •A form handler for enquiries — A free Formspree account (or similar) so your contact form actually sends you emails. Covered in the launch checklist.
If you get stuck, Website Rescue is £40/hour — billed separately, not included. Only buy this if you're comfortable following written instructions.
What's inside
- •Built-in editor — Open any page from your computer and edit it in the page itself: type over the text, click a photo to swap in your own (resized automatically), set your colours, download. No code, no builder account.
- •Homepage — Your promise, a fee ledger card, who you help, how switching works, kind words.
- •Fees page — Every fee in ledger rows with an honest "most clients pay" total. The page that wins the client.

- •Copy guide — How to write fees, the switching pitch and your one-line promise without a word of jargon.

- •Tax advisers going out on their own
Common questions
How do I edit it?
Open any page in your browser and click Edit this page in the bottom-right corner. Click any text and type over it, then download the updated page and drop it back into the folder. No code, no builder account, nothing to install.
Can I use my own photos?
Yes, and it's the easy kind of yes. In edit mode, click any photo (or grey placeholder) and choose a picture from your computer. It's resized for the web automatically, so photos straight off your phone or camera are fine. No exporting, no image folders.
Can I change the colours?
Yes. The editor has a Colours panel for the accent and the background (plus ink where the design uses it), so the template can match your logo instead of the example business. The matching darker shades follow automatically, and you set the same colours on each page and download.
Where do I put it once it's edited?
Anywhere. Free hosting on Netlify is the simplest route, and it's covered step by step in the launch checklist that comes with the kit. Connecting your domain is on you.
What if I get stuck?
The guides cover setup, forms, Google Business Profile and updating content later, but there's no support included at this price. If you'd rather someone just do it for you, Website Rescue is £40/hour, or tell me about your project and I'll build it properly.
Do I own it?
Yes, and that's the point. Everything on this site says don't rent your website from a builder, and this is the £99 version of practising it: a one-off payment for real files on your computer. No subscription, no licence to renew, nothing that disappears when you stop paying. Hosting is a separate cost you arrange yourself, typically free on Netlify.
