For firms that do not use the ProSystem fx portal, CCH Site Builder offers File Share as a secure web application for exchanging documents with clients. Firms using File Share receive a firm-specific URL and 50 MB of storage space with the ability to purchase additional storage space in 100 MB increments. However, File Share is not available for users testing CCH Site Builder.

CCH Site Builder includes a social media module to add icons and links for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube. The Social Network icons can be displayed on the Home and Contact Us pages.

Summary & Pricing

CCH Site Builder is a strong template-based product, and because of its user-friendly interface, it is ideal for firms that want to build a site quickly and have control over customization and making changes. Its integration with the ProSystem fx suite makes it a good candidate for firms using other CCH applications, and firms may also want to consider it because of its impressive set of calculators, resources included in the premium content, and eNewsletter content with federal and state tax alerts.

The standard package costs $1,290 in the first year including setup. The annual renewal cost is $995. Other features, such as the CCH Tax Guide, toolkits, and e-mail are available at additional costs. Potential customers interested in custom website design packages and search engine optimization services should contact CCH for a quote. CCH offers a free 30-day evaluation period (no credit card required).
