Case study · CPA practice

Faria Accountancy Corporation: a CPA practice that says plainly what it does.

fariacpas.com was a Launching Soon placeholder. The day the owner answered our eight questions, the first version of the site went up for his review, and on September 10, 2026 it went live on the practice's own address: the services in two columns, a plain line on what the practice does not do, and the CPA who prepares and signs every return.

The problem

A practice with years of clients, and a placeholder for a website.

Faria Accountancy Corporation is a CPA practice in San Jose serving individuals and businesses, in person or fully remote. In August 2026 its domain showed a GoDaddy Launching Soon page. The email on the domain worked, but the address had nothing else on it.

  • A new client or a referral checking the name found no services, no phone and no address.
  • Nothing said what the practice does, or what it does not do.
  • The CPA who prepares and signs each return was nowhere to be seen.

Why the site is deliberately simple

The practice did not need a site to bring in new customers. It needed its information online, clearly and credibly, for the clients it already serves and the people they refer: when someone hears the name and looks it up, the address should answer.

So the site does a few things well and stops there: what the practice does and does not do, who prepares and signs each return, how the work starts, and how to reach the office. There is no marketing to wade through, which is the point.

Before and after

A Launching Soon page, then a site of its own.

There is no old page to show: no copy of it exists, so the before is described. The after is the new home page on a phone, from its first screen.

What we built

A quiet site that answers the questions a new client has.

  • The services in two columns. For individuals and for businesses, four services each, every one with a single plain line: federal and state preparation, tax planning, retirement planning, estates and trusts; financial statements, advisory and formation.
  • An honest scope line. “This practice does not do bookkeeping, payroll, or audits.” Saying so up front saves both sides a call.
  • The person who signs the return. About Chris: his CPA licence, his Master's in Accountancy from San José State, and how the practice works, in person in San Jose or fully remote.
  • How the practice works. Three steps, starting with a conversation, so the work is scoped before it starts.
  • Found and trusted. A title that names the service and the city, AccountingService structured data, a secure address, and the accessibility fixes from our September audit.
The signature

The signature: is this the right practice for you?

Most accounting sites list everything. This one also says what it does not do, so the right clients call and the rest are pointed somewhere better. Try it with the practice's own services.

Is this the right practice for me?

Pick what you need. The answers are the site’s own.

The results

A practice site the owner's clients talk about.

  • The practice went from a placeholder to a live site on its own address, with the first version up the same day the owner answered our questions.
  • On Google's phone test the site scores 84 for performance, 100 for accessibility, 100 for best practices and 100 for SEO, measured October 14, 2026.
  • The whole home page weighs 0.5 MB on a phone.
  • In the owner's own words below: nothing but positive feedback from his clients about the site.

From the first look to today. Step through it with the buttons or the slider:

“I don't have a website.”

fariacpas.com showed a GoDaddy Launching Soon page. A first homepage concept went up for the owner the same evening.

Eight answers in, the first version up.

His services, logo, headshot and bio, on a preview link for his review, the same day he answered.

Live on fariacpas.com.

The address switched over on a call with the owner that morning, with the secure certificate on by evening.

“Nothing but positive feedback from my clients.”

The owner's Google review of Loomwest, the same day.

Fixes from our audit, live.

We audited every site we run for accessibility, and this one's fixes went live first thing.

About the calendar. The first version was up the day the owner answered our questions. The finished site then waited on its preview for a time that suited the owner to move the address, which needs his own domain login; the switch itself took one phone call on September 10.

How we counted

The numbers, and what they do not claim.

  • Speed: Google PageSpeed Insights, phone test, October 14, 2026, a lab test.
  • We do not show visit numbers for this site yet: cookie-free counting began on October 6, 2026, and there is not enough to report.
  • Before the site: the domain's GoDaddy Launching Soon page, as we found it on August 23, 2026. The Internet Archive holds no copy of it, so the before side is described, not pictured.
  • The review is the owner's public Google review of Loomwest, quoted word for word.

These numbers are measured again every week, from the live site: speed on Google’s own phone test, visits and taps from the site’s cookie-free counter.

A practice that runs on trust needs a site that earns it in seconds.

Every build starts with a free call: we look at how your business shows up online today and what a site should do for it. If your current site is fine, you will hear that too.
