Great Websites Start With Understanding What Makes You Different.
Addicott Web is a Raleigh, North Carolina web design company creating custom websites for businesses, nonprofits, schools and organizations in Raleigh and far beyond.
Since 2007, we’ve helped clients across a wide range of industries create websites that look great, communicate clearly, are easy to navigate, and give the people behind them the flexibility to keep their content current.
But we don’t believe great websites start with technology.
They start with understanding.
Before we think about layouts, colors, fonts or features, we want to understand who you are, what you do, who you’re trying to reach, and what you need your website to accomplish. That gives us the foundation to create a website that doesn’t just look good — it actually feels like you.
Every Business and Organization Has Its Own Story.
We’ve designed websites for small businesses and nonprofits, schools and professional organizations, service companies and manufacturers — and plenty of clients that don’t fit neatly into any one category.
They have different audiences. Different goals. Different personalities. Different challenges.
That’s why we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to web design.
A local service company may need to turn website visitors into leads. A nonprofit may need to communicate its mission and inspire people to get involved. A school may need to speak to prospective families while serving its current community. A professional organization may need to organize a tremendous amount of information and make it easy to find.
Our job is to understand what your website needs to do — and design around it.
Good Design Has a Job to Do.
Of course we want your website to look great. But good web design isn’t just about how a website looks.
It’s about helping people understand who you are. Making important information easy to find. Guiding visitors toward the next step. Organizing complicated content so it feels simple. Creating an experience that works just as well on a phone as it does on a desktop computer.
Sometimes that means simplifying. Sometimes it means reorganizing. Sometimes it means helping you rethink what you’re saying and how you’re saying it.
We think about the entire experience — content, organization, navigation, design and functionality — because all of those pieces have to work together.
A beautiful website isn’t enough. It needs to work.
Designed for Your Visitors. Built for You.
Your website has to work on both sides of the screen.
The people visiting your website should be able to find what they need without having to think too hard about it.
And the people managing your website shouldn’t need to call a developer every time they want to change a photo, update some text, add a page or publish something new.
That’s one of the reasons we build our websites with WordPress. It gives us tremendous flexibility in what we can design and build while giving our clients practical tools for managing their websites after launch.
We customize the editing experience around your website and provide personalized training so you’re comfortable managing the things you’ll need to change.
And when you do need us, we’re still here.
There’s No Addicott Web “Look.”
And we like it that way.
Look through our portfolio and you’ll find websites that are bold and colorful, quiet and sophisticated, traditional and contemporary, playful and professional.
That’s because we’re not trying to make your website look like an Addicott Web website.
We’re trying to make it look like your website.
We listen, ask questions and learn about your business or organization before we determine what the design should become. Your personality, audience, goals, content and priorities help shape the result.
Every website we create starts from the same principles — thoughtful organization, intuitive navigation, strong design and attention to detail — but where it ends up should be distinctly yours.
We’ve Been Doing This for a While.
The web has changed dramatically since Addicott Web began building websites in 2007.
Devices have changed. Design trends have changed. Technology has changed. The way people search for information, communicate with organizations and interact with websites has changed.
We’ve changed along with it.
What hasn’t changed is our belief that technology should serve the people using it — not get in their way.
We bring years of web design and WordPress experience to every project, but we never want the technology itself to become the point. The point is building the right website for the people we’re working with.
Small Team. Personal Approach.
We’re intentionally a small web design company.
When you work with Addicott Web, you aren’t passed from a salesperson to an account manager to a designer to a developer.
You work directly with the people creating your website.
That means the conversations we have at the beginning of your project stay with us throughout it. We get to know your business or organization, understand your priorities, and remain personally involved from the first conversation through design, development, launch and beyond.
Our philosophy is pretty simple: listen carefully, communicate clearly, do great work, and treat people well.
It’s how we’ve built long-term relationships with our clients, and it’s how we intend to keep working.
