Why Template Driven Pro Designed Websites for Accountants are Typically The Superior Choice

Most CPAs have limited options when it comes to getting a website. One option is to take advantage of a template; a pre-designed site that has been created by an expert designer for sale "as is". Most hosts offer templates bundled with their basic offering, and there are literally hundreds of websites that sell them.

One of the most important choices that you will be forced to make when opening a site will be whether or not to exploit a template, or build from scratch. A template is quick, easy, and inexpensive. It also gives you the ability to then customize a few things, here and there, to make it more personalized. A website from scratch is more expensive, yet again it all depends on what you want on the site and how 'complete' you would like it. The more ideas, the more the designer will charge.

This is why, for most firms, it best to use a template from a company that specializes in designing websites for accountants. These sites are usually very attractive. They often include premium design features like flash animations and almost always include third-party plugin and HTML support.

Remember, before selecting a template, you will need to identify the goals for your website. How would you like the layout to look? Look at some websites and grab some ideas from them. What colors do you want to use? What images? What kind of pages do you want to offer. When you have everything together, it becomes much easier for yourself or a professional designer to build the template.

There have always been advantages to using a web template:

- Templates provide the basic page and navigation layouts.

- Templates provide a consistent look and feel for the site.

- Templates include professional graphics. Filling a site with professional photos can be expensive and time consuming. The alternative, looting the internet for images, is usually illegal. Of course, changing out standard graphics in a template is easy if you want to give your site a personal touch.

- It is usually easy to edit the content on the template by using almost any HTML editor.

There are other advantages, too. Template sites that come as part of a hosting package will be updated regularly automatically. Of course these changes are particularly relevant if your website template is provided by an industry specific host. There are a lot of companies that specialize in websites for accountants and CPA's. These companies usually offer website packages that include tools particularly useful to CPA and accounting practices like file transfer portals and newsletters. They also automatically update pages that are generally specific to websites for accountants like tax due dates and accounting specific "free reports".

Of course, there are potential limitations to consider:

- Graphics on templates are usually locked. Some providers will make changes for you (for an added fee) but in most cases you'll need to hire a web professional to make graphic changes to a template.

- Some website managers are easier to use than others. Many templates make it very difficult to make changes unless you know HTML. You'll still save a lot of money over a custom design from scratch, but be aware you will probably need to use a professional web designer to set up and maintain the site.

- Any interactive features have to be integrated into the template, unless the provider has built it in.

- The right to use a template does not imply ownership. Unless you specifically buy the copyright to the template the designer will be able to sell the same template to other website owners.

Every person wants a website that stands out from the crowd. A template may just be able to help; you have the basic layout and structure of the design, but then you can go in and change out the colors, images, etc.

Weigh the purpose of your site against what you want it to do and how much you want to spend. Ultimately the choice has to be yours.

If you decide to go with a template, choose a good one. Templates come in all kinds of styles and colors. You should have no trouble finding one that suits your firm. The template provider also matters. Find a provider that specializes in websites for accountants and includes appropriate features and updates rather than forcing yourself to purchase each feature separately. It might not only save money, but also the frustration of asking any questions to several different providers, rather than one.
