HV Ken Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 We are in the process of creating a web site for our business (home office consisting of my wife and me). I was wondering, if you have a website, would you mind either posting the URL here or sending it to me? I'd like to see what others in the ATX community are doing. Yes, I am aware of the CCH website service. While it looks very professional, the cost is more than I am looking to spend. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should have been more explicit - I am specifically looking for web sites for tax businesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulldogTom Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 www.trctax.com Not very fancy. I need to update it. I have it just to say I have one. Nothing more than a vanity plate right now. It might turn into something later. Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lion EA Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 DollarsSense.com and, yes, I paid the big bucks when I bought ProSystem fx software. Glad I did; never would've gotten it up and running before tax season. I had DollarsSense.biz for years and years with absolutely nothing on it; just used it to have my domain name for email. When I was able to buy the .com version, I wanted to get a web site up before tax season. The salesman did everything. I've been changing it page by page when I have a minute, posting newsletters, etc. The site provides a new set of newsletters the first of every month. Tech support has been excellent.

BulldogTom Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Rita, How much of the content does CCH update for you, and how much do you update yourself. BTW, that is a pretty cool site. Tom Lodi, CA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lion EA Posted January 15, 2008 Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 Thanx for the compliment, Tom. They provide a group of new newsletters the first of every month. I can uncheck any I don't want posted right now. This month, one was on EITC for which I have no clients, so I unchecked that. I can also choose past newsletters from their archives; think I have one about business receipts from their archives. Their newsletters can appear first; right now I have my own at the top of the page (first season out on my own), so everything down to the Dollars & Sense newsletter is mine and everything below is theirs. (Cut and paste, really simple to post.) Most of the other pages come with default paragraphs, introducing your client-friendly company blah blah, and the salesman wrote some blurbs and inserted all my contact info. I've been rewriting a few intros and printed out their cheat sheet on HTML so I can add bullet points, bold, etc. The calendar (I customize company info) and calculators and a bunch of links (MSNBC, tax refund status, IRS, etc.) and tax forms and publications are all built in. I dropped a couple of their links and added some client and miscellaneous links. I'm saving the firm profile page to get more specific once I think HRB won't chase me down! But, I do have some personal profile info buried in the contacts page under my name. Even the overall design and color scheme are just check the box and can be changed at any time. So, the site is starting to be more me, as I have time. But, I started with all them to get it up and running before tax season and was perfectly happy with it that way. The major change is they had a lot of text paragraphs, so it looked a little gray; now I'm adding bullets and bold and stuff and a little less passive voice and third person to let my personality show. If I had a logo, I could upload it for an additional charge. Everything you see is the basic charge only. It sometimes misbehaves under Mozilla's FireFox, but always works under Internet Explorer. A very helpful techie Chris said they all love and use FireFox, so they're working on the different way Java functions under FireFox.

Did you know the CCH service has a special price for ATX users? $495 for a year for the site, all the "fixin's", email, domain name, everything.
