Your Website Should Look Like You. And Work Like It, Too.
Your website is often one of the first experiences someone has with your business or organization.
Before they call you, visit you, make an appointment, request a quote, donate, register, or walk through your door, they may spend a few minutes getting to know you through your website.
Those few minutes matter.
At Addicott Web, we create custom websites that help businesses and organizations make the right impression — while making it easy for visitors to understand who you are, find what they need, and take the next step.
Based in Raleigh, North Carolina, we design websites for clients throughout the Triangle and far beyond.
Designed Around What Makes You Different.
We don’t believe your business should have to fit into somebody else’s website.
Every client has a different story, audience, personality and set of goals. That’s why we start every website design project by getting to know you.
We’ll learn about your business or organization, the people you’re trying to reach, what makes you different, and what you need your website to accomplish.
Then we’ll create a design around those things.
Colors, typography, photography, layout and visual style all play a role, but the goal isn’t simply to create something attractive.
The goal is to create a website that feels like you.
Good Design Is More Than How a Website Looks.
A beautiful website isn’t very useful if nobody can figure out how to use it.
That’s why usability is part of every design decision we make.
We think carefully about how your content is organized, what belongs in your navigation, what visitors are most likely looking for, which information deserves emphasis, and where you want people to go next.
Good website design should make all of that feel effortless.
Your visitors shouldn’t have to think about how your website works.
They should simply be able to use it.
Designed for Every Screen.
Your customers and visitors aren’t only viewing your website from a desktop computer.
They’re looking at it from phones and tablets — often while they’re on the go and trying to find something quickly.
Every website we create is designed to work across screen sizes, with layouts, navigation, typography, images and calls to action that adapt to the device being used.
Mobile design isn’t something we add after the desktop website is finished.
It’s part of how we think about the website from the beginning.
Content Is Part of the Design.
Design and content shouldn’t be treated as two separate things.
The amount of content on a page affects its layout. The importance of a message affects where it belongs. Photography can change the entire feeling of a design. Headlines, buttons and calls to action help guide visitors through the website.
That’s why we think about what you’re saying at the same time we’re thinking about how it should look.
We’ll help you organize your content, identify what’s most important, simplify things when necessary, and determine the best way to present information to the people visiting your website.
And if you need help writing or refining the content itself, we can help with that, too.
Built Around What You Need to Accomplish.
Your website isn’t there just to look good.
It has a job to do.
For some clients, that means generating leads and quote requests. For others, it’s attracting customers, communicating with members, recruiting families, promoting programs, accepting registrations, sharing resources, selling services, or simply making complicated information easier to find.
We’ll identify the actions that matter most and design the website around them.
Forms, calendars, directories, payments, search tools, integrations and other functionality can be incorporated wherever they make sense.
The features should support the website — not overwhelm it.
Custom Design. Without the Template Look.
We build our websites with WordPress, but that doesn’t mean they need to look like “WordPress websites.”
WordPress works behind the scenes. It doesn’t dictate what your visitors see.
That gives us the freedom to create layouts, navigation, visual styles, content structures and functionality around your particular needs rather than forcing your business into a predetermined design.
Look through our portfolio and you’ll see websites that look very different from one another.
That’s intentional.
There’s no Addicott Web template — and there’s no Addicott Web “look.”
Thoughtful Design Down to the Details.
A website is made up of hundreds of small decisions.
Typography. Spacing. Image cropping. Button placement. Navigation. Colors. Content hierarchy. Mobile layouts. Forms. Calls to action. The amount of breathing room around a headline.
Most visitors will never consciously notice those individual decisions.
They’ll simply notice that the website feels polished, easy to use and professional.
We sweat those details because together, they make a difference.
A Website You Can Grow With.
Your website shouldn’t only work for you on launch day.
Businesses evolve. Organizations grow. Services change. New ideas emerge. Technology changes. Something you don’t need today may become important several years from now.
We build websites with that in mind.
Using WordPress gives us a flexible foundation that can evolve along with you, allowing new pages, sections, features and functionality to be added as your needs change.
The goal is to give you a website that works for where you are today — without unnecessarily limiting where you can go tomorrow.
Raleigh Web Design With a Personal Approach.
We’re based in Raleigh, but our approach is intentionally small and personal.
When you work with Addicott Web, you work directly with the people designing and building your website.
We’ll listen to your ideas, offer our own, explain our recommendations, keep you involved throughout the process, and make sure the finished website feels right to you.
Because at the end of the project, it shouldn’t feel like our website.
It should feel like yours.
Let's Create a Website That's Distinctly Yours.
Tell us about your business or organization, your current website, and what you’d like to do better.
We’ll listen, ask questions, and help you figure out what your new website could become.
