Organizations in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill Triangle, as well as dozens of clients across the U.S., choose Chariot Creative because we combine custom web design with extensive branding and digital marketing under one roof. We produce quality that you’d expect from huge firms—without the opaque fees or communication breakdowns. Our team specializes in compliance-sensitive industries, including healthcare, higher education, finance, government, and nonprofits, where marketing requires more than creative skill. Every client gets a dedicated project manager, a proprietary dashboard for real-time progress tracking, and transparent billing.

Every website we build is custom-designed and developed from scratch—we never use out-of-the-box templates. Those just limit your brand and your scalability with the tools you have. Our work ranges from marketing websites optimized for SEO and lead generation to complex custom web applications with data integrations, searchable repositories, and admin dashboards. All sites are built with ADA-compliant accessibility and modern UX principles from day one. Our portfolio includes Duke University School of Law, UNC-Chapel Hill, Great Gray Trust Company, The Wildlife Society, and the NOAA Coastal Restoration Toolkit.

Yes — digital marketing is half of what we do. Our services include SEO, AEO, Google Ads management, Google Grant Ads for nonprofits (up to $10,000/month in free advertising budget), email marketing, content strategy, copywriting, branding, and stakeholder workshops. Because we handle both web design and marketing strategy, your website and campaigns work as a unified system—not disconnected pieces managed by different vendors.

We specialize in industries where compliance and regulation shape how marketing is done: healthcare (HIPAA), financial services (FINRA), higher education (FERPA), government (Section 508), nonprofits, pharma and biotech (FDA), conservation and clean energy, and legal. We also serve B2B companies and small businesses that need more than a template website and a social media calendar. About half of our work is with NC-based organizations; the other half is with clients located throughout the United States, from Boston to Seattle.

Most Raleigh marketing agencies focus on either creative services or technical execution. Some only keep project managers in-house and outsource all of the work overseas to vendor companies. We do custom web design, full-stack development, branding, and digital marketing strategy with our core team of specialists. We’re a certified Google Partner, a 2024 Webby Award Honoree and a3-time Web Excellence Award winner.

We’re also one of the only agencies in North Carolina specializing in compliance-sensitive industries like healthcare, finance, government, and higher education. Our case studies include Duke University, UNC-Chapel Hill, NOAA, Great Gray Trust Company, and the State of Washington Department of Natural Resources—nationwide organizations that chose us because they needed more than a pretty website.
