Case studies from twenty bookkeeping practices

Twenty practices, from a five-person charity bookkeeper to a seventeen-person logistics firm, each with one part of their website that was costing them time. Every file sets out where they started, what we built, how long it took and what changed, and ends with the person who lives with it, in their own words.

Queries05 answers

Questions about these case studies

Who the clients are, why they are not named and what the work costs.

Are these case studies from real clients?

Yes. Each of the 20 files describes a real engagement for a real practice, and each quote is from the named person at that practice. There are no star ratings or scores on these pages, because none were collected.

Why are the practices not named?

Each practice is described by its type, its city and its size rather than by its business name, so the case study is about the work rather than about the client. The person quoted is named with their role.

How long did the work take?

Between 10 and 25 working days, counted from the day the practice approved its content, including staff review and handover. Each file states its own timeline.

Is this kind of work included in a plan, or charged extra?

The work in these files is the kind of thing that comes with a managed site: the inquiry form and what it asks, where inquiries go, the pages themselves, the move from an old site and the handover. Plans start at $137 a month on Single Entry, with a $797 build fee invoiced only after launch. A demo shows which plan fits your practice.

Why are so many of these about bookkeeping onboarding?

Because that is where these practices were losing time: the first inquiry, the first reply and the first call. Each file shows a different part of that path, from what the form asks to what happens when it breaks.
