Three of us, actually: product manager/designer, non-practicing tax lawyer, and developer. :)

We added Federal Québec support this year and plan to add the provincial component next year: https://simpletax.ca/jobs.

Québec is a challenging province because of Revenu Québec and Bill 101.

FWIW, we're taking on TurboTax in Canada, https://simpletax.ca.

The Canada Revenue Agency introduced an API this year that enables us to auto-fill much of the return: https://help.simpletax.ca/questions/how-to-use-afr.

We implemented search on our help site (http://help.simpletax.ca) using the excellent lunr.js (http://lunrjs.com) + this Jekyll plug-in (https://github.com/slashdotdash/jekyll-lunr-js-search). The search index is updated when you build your Jekyll site, so it's a piece of cake to maintain and gives you full text search. I don't know how well it would scale, but if you are in the hundreds of posts, you should be ok.

Great points. We've tried to build trust by showing that we're real people (e.g. here's what we look like!), but I agree we could do more. Great feedback.

The app is—of course—on SSL.

Thanks for the feedback cmer! And you're totally right—we want to be very careful about using the word free. We are really a "pay what you want" service.

We initially offered returns for a flat $10, but being new in this space, we found it was difficult to get attention and that many were still doing their taxes on paper because of the perception that they had to pay. We're hoping we can convince many of these paper filers to switch knowing that payment is optional, not mandatory.

This site is absolutely beautiful. Well done. I'd love to know a little more about the tools (generators?) that were used as it appears to be a completely static site.
