How many creative studios and freelancers are listed across the Raleigh metro?
Eight right now, in Cary, Garner, Raleigh, Wake Forest and Apex. The list grows as businesses are recommended, checked and added.
What makes a business inclusive on Inclusivity.org?
Every listing shows why it is here, with a source you can check: the owner's own statement, a public listing such as a chamber directory, or a recognized certification. Some are owned by the communities they serve and some are allies who welcome everyone. We never list someone's identity without a source.
How do I choose a designer, photographer or agency?
Look at recent work like yours, ask who will actually do the work, and agree on the number of rounds of changes before you start. A clear written scope prevents most problems.
Do they work with clients outside the metro?
Most creative studios work remotely with clients anywhere. The city on a listing is where they are based, not the limit of who they serve.
Is it free to be listed?
Yes. A basic listing is free, and owners can claim and update theirs at any time. Featured and Enhanced listings get more room on the page, and being listed never depends on them.
How do I suggest a creative studio that is missing?
Use Recommend a business at the bottom of this page. We research every suggestion, and nothing goes live until it has been checked.
Know a creative studio we're missing?
Tell us who they are and we'll do the research. Nothing goes live until we've checked it, and we never list someone's identity without a source.
