Problem
Upscale Accounting is a professional accounting firm that needed a web presence reflecting the precision and credibility of their financial services. The original design suffered from the generic AI aesthetic; the firm needed an Editorial Precision visual language with a CMS admin panel inside a static export architecture on Hostinger.
Solution
Redesigned 27 files with an Editorial Precision design language prioritizing clean typography, structured layouts, and professional restraint. Integrated Decap CMS for content management with a static export build pipeline deployed to Hostinger via SCP.
Results
Live accounting firm site with a distinctive editorial design that communicates financial credibility. Static export architecture ensures fast load times with Decap CMS enabling content updates without developer intervention.
