The docket
From the first problem to what changed
Four entries, in the order they happened, written from the practice's own record of the work.
Starting point
The old tax appointment intake addresses were embedded in years of emails, printed materials and listings. The rebuild would move nearly all of them.
The problem
Day to day with tax appointment intake, the business needed to reorganize its content without stranding returning visitors on missing pages. No record existed of which old links mattered most.
What we built
An inventory of old addresses became a redirect map, checked line by line before launch. The new site covers appointment preparation and the secure document process with labels consistent with its reorganized pages.

What went into it
The parts of the build
As the practice listed them, then the TaxFirmWebStudio features they come from, on every plan.
- URL inventory
- Redirect map
- Internal link updates
- Missing-page checks
- Launch review
The old tax appointment intake address is in hundreds of our emails. Knowing exactly where it would redirect was non-negotiable for me.
Answers
Questions about this case
How long did this work take?
20 working days after content approval, including staff review and handover. The practice approved its own wording before anything was published.
Which plan covers this kind of work?
Every plan. The parts of the build this case used (moving your current site, with every link redirected) are included on The Front Desk, The Busy Season, The Year-Round Practice.
Did this change anything about the practice's tax work?
No. This was website work: how the site explains the practice and how an inquiry reaches the right person. We are not a tax preparation, tax resolution or accounting firm, and the pages were worded so they never promise a tax outcome. Anything specific to a client's situation stays in a conversation with the practice.
Why is the practice not named?
Case studies on this site describe the kind of practice, its region and its size, never the business name, its logo or its web address. The person quoted agreed to be named with their role.
