About Sterling

Sterling is a free accounting firm website template for WordPress, designed to make CPAs, accountants, bookkeepers and tax preparers look as trustworthy online as they are in person. It ships with a 15-section home page — hero, credentials, services, numbers, why-us, process, industries, pricing plans, client reviews, team, a tax-deadline calendar, call to action, FAQ, latest insights and a consultation booking form — plus About, Services, Pricing and Contact pages.

Every section is a block pattern, so you can edit any word or photo right in the WordPress page editor, rearrange sections, or add new ones from the inserter. A bundled Booking Requests plugin turns the contact page into a working consultation form: requests are saved in your dashboard, emailed to you and exportable to CSV. Three color styles (Ledger green, Navy and Burgundy), self-hosted fonts, AA contrast and responsive layouts keep it fast and accessible.

Custom plugin included: Booking Requests — our own free booking and consultation form plugin, bundled in the ZIP and installed in one click. Requests are saved in your dashboard, emailed to you and exportable to CSV.

How to install

1. Install the theme

  1. Download sterling.zip. Don’t unzip it.
  2. In WordPress, go to Appearance → Themes → Add New Theme → Upload Theme.
  3. Choose sterling.zip, click Install Now, then Activate.

2. Import the demo

  1. Go to Appearance → Sterling setup and click Import demo content.
  2. This creates the Home, About, Services, Pricing, Contact and Insights pages, sample posts, the menu and the front page. It also installs Booking Requests, our free booking-form plugin that comes inside the theme.

3. Set up your consultation form

  • In Bookings → Settings, add your services (bookkeeping, tax preparation, payroll…) and the email address that should receive new requests.
  • Requests appear under Bookings. Mark each one as Contacted, Booked or Closed, and export them to CSV any time.
  • To show or hide questions, click the form in the page editor and use the sidebar.
  • If notification emails don’t arrive, install an SMTP plugin such as WP Mail SMTP. Requests are always saved in the dashboard either way.

4. Make it yours

  • Edit text and photos right on each page — just click and type.
  • Update your phone, email, address and hours in Appearance → Editor → Patterns → Header / Footer.
  • Change colors and fonts in Appearance → Editor → Styles. Try the Navy and Burgundy styles.
  • Add more sections from + → Patterns → Sterling: Sections.

The ZIP includes INSTALL.txt with these steps.
