Chariot Creative is an award-winning marketing and web design agency founded in Raleigh, NC in 2009. We build websites, brands, and campaigns for organizations where accuracy, accessibility, and compliance aren’t optional — healthcare systems, financial institutions, government agencies, universities, and national nonprofits — alongside the small businesses that keep Raleigh interesting.
Clear timelines, proactive communication, and a single point of contact. The most common compliment we hear from clients who switched agencies isn’t about design — it’s about finally knowing what’s happening with their project.
Most agencies are strong on one side. We deliver award-winning user experience and the hard technical work behind it: security compliance, accessibility audits and remediation, HIPAA-compliant builds, custom programming, and complex integrations.
We’re the only Raleigh-area agency we know of that facilitates structured workshops with your leadership and stakeholders to define or refine branding, mission, vision, and values — before a single pixel gets designed.
Our clients range from Raleigh-area small businesses to national institutions. We specialize in compliance-sensitive industries — healthcare, finance, government, higher education, and nonprofits — where marketing decisions carry regulatory weight and “move fast and break things” is a liability, not a strategy.
That mix is deliberate. The rigor institutional clients demand makes our small business work sharper, and the creative agility small businesses demand keeps our institutional work human.
Beautiful and compliant aren’t opposites — they’re both requirements. Our team handles WCAG and ADA accessibility audits and remediation, Section 508 compliance, HIPAA-compliant web design, security compliance, and custom web application development. ADA website lawsuits surged 37% in the first half of 2025, according to EcomBack — and the organizations we serve can’t treat that as someone else’s problem.
When your legal team asks hard questions, we’re the agency that already has answers. It’s why our work includes projects for Duke University, UNC, NOAA, and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources — organizations where accessibility and security reviews aren’t a formality.
We’re proud of our Raleigh roots and just as proud of where the work travels. National organizations like The Wildlife Society, Restore America’s Estuaries, and Coastal States Organization partner with us — as do finance clients Great Gray Trust Company and RPAG, whose websites both earned Web Excellence Awards. Compliance expertise and award-winning UX don’t depend on a zip code.

Chariot Creative was founded in Raleigh, NC in 2009 — 17 years in business. We’ve grown from a local web design shop into an agency serving compliance-driven organizations across the country, while staying independently owned.
We specialize in compliance-sensitive industries: healthcare, finance, government, higher education, nonprofits, and conservation organizations. We also work with B2B companies and small businesses that want institutional-grade quality without institutional-grade bureaucracy.
Yes. While Raleigh is home base, we serve national clients including The Wildlife Society, Restore America’s Estuaries, and Great Gray Trust Company. Our compliance specializations — accessibility, HIPAA, government standards — aren’t geographically bounded, and neither are we.
Web design and development, digital marketing, branding, accessibility audits and remediation, AI compliance consulting, stakeholder workshops, and strategic planning. If it touches your brand or your website, it’s probably on the menu.
A stakeholder workshop is a facilitated working session where we guide your leadership and key stakeholders through defining or refining your brand, mission, vision, and values. It replaces months of circular email debates with documented decisions — and it’s a service no other Raleigh agency we know of provides.
Yes — 39 industry awards and honors, including a 2026 Webby Award for Best User Experience (People’s Voice) for our work with The Wildlife Society, a 2024 Webby Honoree in Education for the UNC MPA program, and 37 Web Excellence Awards.
