Alter Imaging is opening a new office to bring our unique approach of web design to Raleigh, NC.
Now that we’re working out of Raleigh, we thought it would be fun to find our favorite Raleigh business websites. We chose 5, and rated them based on speed, design and usability. Each site is the best of it’s type; we didn’t want to pick 5 Sushi Bar websites (though they were all great!) We also gave them each an overall rating, partially influenced by the other 3 ratings.
In no particular order, here’s the top 5 business website designs from Raleigh:

Sono Raleigh
For one reason or another, Sushi bar websites seem to have a much higher design standard than other local attractions. In Raleigh, the best of the bunch is Sono. Sono’s website loads quickly, has just enough Flash, and generally just feels awesome. 30 seconds on the site and you’ll want to get up and go grab some Sushi!

Royal Oaks
Royal Oaks seems to have held one ideal above everything else when designing their site, and that ideal is “clean”. The site looks good, loads fast, and is easy to use. Among Raleigh construction firms, they really stand out, by holding back.

Raleigh Times Bar
Of all the websites for all the bars in Raleigh, only one makes you want to go grab a drink. That one is the Raleigh Times Bar website. Where other bars went overkill trying to put information everywhere, cycle pictures, and generally catch your eye- Raleigh Times Bar kept everything simple. Their message is that you can relax here, and that message comes through beautifully.

CTI Properties
This website is cool. It stands so far above the pack of property service sites that it might as well be the only one. It shows message and style, and doesn’t bog you down with unnecessary info like so many do.

Baker Roofing
Baker Roofing’s site is the best roofing company site in Raleigh, hands down. The Flash image slider in the middle adds a gallery without a need for a seperate page, and adds to the polish of the site. Everything is smooth, easy to find, and fun to use. If the goal is to give customers and potential clients a great experience before they buy from them, they absolutely succeed.
