Websites, software, and everything in between.

Cary Digital Design is a Cary, NC studio that designs and builds custom websites, web applications, CRMs, and the integrations that connect them. If your business needs it, we can build it.

What we do

Two practices, one team.

Some clients need a website their team can keep current. Others need software that runs the business. A lot of them need both, and the same people design, build, and host all of it.

Websites

Custom websites you can edit yourself.

Custom-designed sites for small businesses, startups, and nonprofits. Each one ships with Inlay, our editing layer, so your team updates the live page without calling a developer.

  • Custom design, built for your brand
  • On-page editing, posts, and team comments
  • Fast, managed hosting on Cloudflare
Software

Software built around how you work.

Web applications, CRMs, client portals, internal tools, and integrations, built to fit your process instead of making you fit someone else's.

  • Web apps, portals, and back-office tools
  • Custom CRMs and sales pipelines
  • Payments, data, and third-party integrations

Selected work

Built by us, running in production.

An aircraft brokerage that runs on our software. An operating system we designed from the ground up. The CMS behind every site we ship.

Client platform · Aircraft brokerage

Open Pattern

A full aircraft-brokerage platform: public listings with live valuations, a guided seller workspace, payments, and a back office that runs the whole pipeline. A built-in CRM comes next.

LeafdeckOS

Our own Linux operating system, built around Claude. The desktop is one Chromium app, so Claude reads every window as text instead of screenshots, with an app builder, design tools, and back-office apps built in.

Inlay

The editing layer behind every site we build. Sign in and your live site becomes the editor. It ships as one versioned package, so every client site gets each update.

Why one studio

The website and the software behind it, from one team.

Nothing lost in hand-off

One team, start to finish.

The people who design your public site also build the tools behind it, so your leads, listings, and customer records stay connected.

We build our own tools

Products, not just projects.

We built Inlay and LeafdeckOS for ourselves and run them every day. Client work gets that same product-level engineering.

Fast, secure, accessible

Built to last.

We build on Cloudflare's global network, keep security tight, and meet WCAG 2.2 AA accessibility. You own what we build.

Questions, answered

The things people ask first.

Cary Digital Design is a web design and software development studio in Cary, North Carolina. We design and build custom websites, web applications, CRMs, client portals, and the integrations that connect them, and we host and maintain what we build.

Inlay is the editing layer we built and include with every website. Your team signs in and the live site becomes the editor: click a headline, paragraph, or photo and change it in place, with drafts, previews, and team comments. There is no separate dashboard to learn.

Small businesses, startups, and nonprofits, mostly across the Triangle: Cary, Apex, Morrisville, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, and nearby towns. We meet in person when it helps and work remotely with clients anywhere.

Websites typically start at $4k. Software projects are quoted individually, because scope varies so much. Either way, you get a clear, itemized proposal in plain language before any work begins.
