Overview
Tax Cottage is an Adelaide accounting and tax practice, a TPB registered tax agent and IPA member serving clients across Australia online. I developed their basic existing site into a dynamic PHP application with the operational tools a modern practice runs on.

The brief
What needed solving.
Problem
They had a basic, mostly static site that did little beyond existing. Client intake ran on paper and poor-quality PDFs, slow for clients and the office alike.
Challenge
Build on the existing design rather than starting over, while adding real functionality: online booking, an admin dashboard, and digital intake that removes paper from both sides.
The approach
How I solved it.
- 01
Develop, don't replace
Built on the existing design, improving it and converting flat HTML pages into a dynamic PHP application.
- 02
Digital intake
Clear online forms replace paper and PDFs; on submit, the client gets a download button and a thank-you email.
- 03
Office automation
The office receives a notification with the generated PDF attached automatically.
- 04
Booking & admin
Online booking plus an admin dashboard to manage it all.
Impact
What it added up to.
Intake → PDF + email, automatic
