Static hosting for accounting and CPA firms

CPA firm websites are shape-similar to law firm sites: services, team bios, blog (tax tips), intake form, client-portal link. Stable content, clear conversion goal.

What a typical accountant site looks like

Homepage, services (tax, bookkeeping, audit, advisory), team / partner bios, secure-portal link to ShareFile or Citrix, blog with tax updates, contact.

When we run the assessment across the CPA cohort, typical sites land in the 200–400 page range — services pages, partner bios, blog backlog, plus required compliance pages. That sits at the upper end of the standard plan or in Premium territory. Both tiers handle it well.

Tax-season traffic spikes are a common concern. Cloudflare's CDN absorbs them trivially — the static site is the same speed for the first visitor as the millionth.

Trade-specific things to know

  • Client portals (ShareFile, Liscio, Canopy) are external links — unaffected.
  • Tax document upload pages need a secure replacement (we recommend keeping it on your portal vendor, not on the static site).
  • Tax-update blog posts that were written in WordPress need to stay scannable — we preserve formatting exactly.

Our take

CPA sites have predictable seasonal traffic and stable content. Static migration removes the recurring cost without affecting either.

Questions

Can clients upload tax documents through the static site?

Not directly. We recommend keeping that on your portal vendor (ShareFile, Liscio) — it's a secure, audited service designed for it. The website just links to it.
