Now, think about the services you offer: are you focusing on bookkeeping and tax? The focus of your website and template should reflect your company offerings and the audiences you serve. When choosing a template, also consider the devices on which your clients may be accessing your website.

An easy way to start is by listing the topics you want to cover. Consider these pages to start with:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Home<\/li>\n<li>Services (with or without pricing)<\/li>\n<li>About (information about staff, how you got started and values)<\/li>\n<li>Contact\/firm location<\/li>\n<li>Client testimonials<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li><strong>Select visual elements and content that will appeal to your audience. <\/strong>An important aspect is selecting multimedia that will appeal to your audience.
