Most accounting firms get quoted $3,000-15,000 for a custom site, or pay $23-65/mo forever for a template. Here is the honest pricing breakdown for 2026 — and what each tier actually gets you.
| Option | Upfront | Recurring | 3-year cost | Result |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| DIY (WordPress + hosting) | $0-200 | $5-30/mo | $200-1,280 | Time sink. accounting firms we audit at this tier average 45/100. |
| Template builder (Wix, Squarespace) | $0 | $23-65/mo | $828-2,340 | Generic templates. accounting firms score average 58/100. |
| Local agency custom build | $3,000-15,000 | $50-300/mo (hosting + maintenance) | $4,800-25,800 | Quality varies wildly. Some excellent, many disappointing. 6-12 weeks to launch. |
| fivedaylaunch ($799 flat) | $799 | $0 | $799 | Custom, AEO-ready, scores 90+/100, live in 5 days. |
The reason most accounting firm websites cost $5,000+ at agencies is not the cost of building — it is the cost of account management, sales cycles, project overhead, and recurring revenue dependence. Agencies need to bill 50-80 hours of human time per project to justify the price.
We use AI to do the heavy lifting (layout, copy drafts, structured data, image optimization) and human review for everything that matters (brand voice, brand-specific design choices, content accuracy). That makes a 5-day, $799 build genuinely possible without sacrificing quality.
The pain points that matter for a accounting firm are different from a restaurant or law firm. We build for:
Same fixed price as everyone. No monthly fees. 5-day delivery.
