Hey, I'm Chatsoni Brooks!

I specialize in sharing website resources, education, and support to help new small business owners avoid the three reasons many websites fail so they can launch with confidence.

Over the past 6 years, I’ve helped dozens of virtual bookkeepers and accountants across the U.S. launch their websites with confidence through my business, Websites for Bookkeepers. Now, I’m bringing that same expertise to Southern Maryland.

By day, I work in commercial lending at a local community bank, helping business owners access the resources they need to grow. By night (and on weekends), I build and manage a portfolio of websites.

Whether you’re just starting out or finally ready to upgrade your online presence, I’m here to make launching your website simple.

What’s Next After the Worksheet?

Once you’ve completed the Website Readiness Worksheet, you’ll be ready to move forward with the Website in a Box—my all-in-one website solution designed for bookkeepers, accountants, and other service-based business owners. While I specialize in the financial space, I also offer website strategy and support for local startups who want to launch with clarity and confidence.

Web Design Customization

No guesswork. No tech overwhelm. I’ll handle the design, layout, and customization so your site looks and feels like you—professional, polished, and ready to launch.

Website Content Writing

You know your business—but putting it into words is tough. I’ll write clear, compelling website copy for you so you don’t have to stress over what to say.

Website Management

No more worrying about plugins, updates, or security. Your site will be maintained every month so it stays fast, functional, and frustration-free.

Who You’ll See in My Portfolio

My portfolio features websites for bookkeepers, accountants, and tax pros—but I’m always happy to help other service-based startups, too. If you like my style and want a website that’s clear, professional, and built to convert, let’s chat.

Why Partner With Me?

Local + Industry Specific Expertise with Cash-flow Friendly Pricing

Many designers charge $2,500+ up front.

With the Website in a Box, you pay over 12 months—so your website can pay for itself with just one new client.

DIY platforms leave you to figure it out alone.

With the Website in a Box, you get a local partner to handle design, setup, content, and support.

Most subscriptions mean you never own your website.

With the Website in a Box, you’ll own your site after 12 months—and can cancel anytime.

FAQs + Answers

I know choosing a web design partner is a big decision. Here are answers to common questions to help! If you don’t find what you need, just reach out—I’m happy to help.

Once you sign up, I’ll ask you to complete two onboarding forms:

1. A website questionnaire form to gather important details for us to build your new website

2. A messaging questionnaire to gather important details for us to write the content for your website

You can sit back and relax while my team and I take things from there! The process is simple and straightforward so you can stay in your zone of genius. 

Your Domain Name 

If you haven’t already registered your domain name, I can help you with this and connect it with your website.

Your Website Legal Policies

To ensure your website complies with privacy laws (and avoid fines starting at $2,500 per violation per website visitor), you should invest in website legal policies. If you don’t have access to a lawyer to draft these policies for you, I can help you get a full set of policies to protect your business all for just $12 a month or $119 a year – saving you both time and money.

Not long at all! The typical turnaround time is 2 weeks after receiving all requested information.

The Website in a Box includes email support and website management to keep your new website safe, secure, up-to-date, running smoothly, and Google-friendly without you lifting a finger! 

WordPress! It’s perfect for those looking to grow and scale. 

While you may outgrow a DIY website-building platform like GoDaddy, Wix, or Squarespace, WordPress is robust and flexible – allowing your website to grow as your business grows!

To ensure your site is SEO-ready, I do not set up websites on hosting plans such as Dreamhost, Bluehost, or GoDaddy.

Instead, you will receive an invite to a brand-new website account optimized for performance and security. Don’t worry – we can connect your existing domain name (website URL) to your new site. 😊 

 
  • With DIY options such as Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy’s website builder, you get access to templates to customize, write content for, launch, and manage yourself. With the Website in a Box, your website customization, technical setup, professional content writing, and website management is done for you.  
  • With other done-for-you website subscriptions, you never own your website. With them, your monthly payments have no end date and upon cancellation, everything gets deleted. The Website in a Box is based on a 12-month payment plan. After 12-months, you own your website and can cancel anytime afterward without losing your site.

Chatsoni Brooks, Owner and Founder

(Think the water Dasani but with a “chuh.”)

I will be your project manager and single point of contact during your website launch and 12-month support period. As a former bookkeeping business owner turned website strategist, I’ve helped over a dozen bookkeepers and other small business owners and here’s what I learned:

  1. Hiring a traditional website designer can be long, frustrating, and expensive.
  2. Building your own website can be stressful confusing, and unprofitable. 
 

I created the Website in a Box to help you make a powerful first impression online quickly, easily, and affordably and I’m on a mission to help 100 bookkeepers launch their website by the end of 2025.🚀

  1. With traditional website professionals, you can expect to pay $2,500 or more upfront. The Website in a Box empowers you to book calls right away but pay for your site as you go, meaning your new website can pay for itself with just one new client!
  2. With DIY options such as Wix, Squarespace, and GoDaddy’s website builder, you get access to templates to customize, write content for, launch, and manage yourself. With the Website in a Box, your website customization, technical setup, professional content writing, and website management is done for you.  

  3. With other done-for-you website subscriptions, you never own your website. With them, your monthly payments have no end date and upon cancellation, everything gets deleted. The Website in a Box is based on a 12-month payment plan. After 12-months, you own your website and can cancel anytime afterward without losing your site or continue with website management at the reduced rate of $150/mo. with no long-term commitment.

While a custom logo design isn’t included in the Website in a Box, it’s important to note that many clients already have their own logos or use budget-friendly alternatives like Canva to create one. If you don’t have a logo yet, we can provide guidance on how to create one or recommend affordable design services. This approach allows us to keep costs down while still providing you with a high-quality website tailored to your business.

The Website in a Box does not include social media. However, we partner with social media marketing company and are happy to give you a referral!

If you have additional questions before moving forward, send me a message.

"With working in the accounting and tax world, I was and still am very ignorant when it comes to building and maintaining a website. Chatsoni was very helpful with helping me understand what was going on each step of the way and answering any questions I had! Can’t recommend her enough!"
Philip Selker

"I had planned on building my own website, but was quickly running out of time. Thankfully, I discovered Chatsoni's 'website in a box' which was just the jumpstart I needed to get me most of the way there. Chatsoni was a true pleasure to work with from start to finish, going above and beyond each step of the way. She patiently addressed all of my upfront questions, and made herself available afterwards to help me get everything formatted just the way I wanted. Thank you very much, Chatsoni!"
