01 / The challenge Before

More than a
brochure site.

Herman teaches as much as he advises. He needed a web presence that earns trust at a glance, explains his services plainly, and gives him a place to publish the practical accounting knowledge he already shares with clients and followers.

  • Stronger credibility with first-time visitors
  • A clearer path from reading to getting in touch
  • A home for articles, lessons and short-form video
  • Something he can keep updating without a developer

03 / The product Selected screens
04 / Design decisions Why it looks this way

Credible,
not conservative.

Accounting sites tend to look interchangeable. We wanted Herman's to feel as trustworthy as a professional firm without falling into the stock-photo, navy-and-grey look common to the industry.

The editorial serif and generous spacing make dense tax and bookkeeping topics feel approachable. Every page is organised around the visitor's next step: understand the concept, practise it, then get help when it matters.

05 / The result Outcome
  • A complete, responsive website and learning platform
  • A content architecture that scales as Herman publishes
  • Publishing tools Herman runs himself
  • A clear path from first visit to first conversation
  • An ongoing support relationship with Apogee
