Creating a Bookkeeping Business with Style and Sparkle: A Case Study

When I first met Dawn, she was frustrated with her outdated website. It didn’t capture her lively personality or convey the individualized care she provides clients. Plus she also had recently under went a name change from QB Services to Savvy Financial Edge. She was ready for a change.

The Challenge

Dawn outlined her goals for the new website:

  • Highlight her background as an accountant and bookkeeper in Massachusetts
  • Showcase her meticulous attention to detail and passion for making the numbers work
  • Reflect her laidback coastal lifestyle and love of the ocean
  • Optimize for search engines to drive traffic from potential clients
  • Make it easy for visitors to book a consultation call

The Solution

I worked closely with Dawn to truly understand her brand vision. Dawn did a photoshoot with Kayla Teves of Monarch Collaborative to establish the look – think tranquil ocean blues and sophisticated neutrals. The photos beautifully complemented the sleek yet soothing website design.

For the copy, Dawn worked with Emily Aborn to infuse her friendly voice while optimizing for critical keywords based on in-depth SEO research. Emily was able to strike a beautiful balance of fun, professional copy in Dawn’s voice that also was optimized for search and encouraged visitors to take action.

The site balances professionalism with Dawn’s unique personality through:

  • An about page highlighting her education, experience, and passion for bookkeeping
  • Testimonials from satisfied clients
  • Prominent calls-to-action for scheduling consultations

The Results

The new website accurately reflects the essence of Dawn’s brand – professional yet personable, meticulous yet laidback. Her background and skills are evident while her lively personality shines through.

Founder + Creative Director — Boston Web Design

Hi, I’m Jenny, the designer behind JennyB Designs. List-maker by nature, mother by life, and a firm believer that you don’t have to work more hours to build a successful business.

For over 13 years, I’ve been helping business owners create websites that do real work behind the scenes. With the right structure, strategy, and design, a website can support growth, attract the right people, and quietly do the heavy lifting day after day.

Clients often describe working together as calm, organized, and supportive. The focus is always on partnership and clarity, because when the process feels steady, the end result feels even better.

The real win isn’t just hearing “this looks great.” It’s hearing “I finally feel confident sharing my website.”

A website should support your business, not demand more from you.

No pressure. Just a conversation to see if it makes sense to move forward.
