BlackDoor Creative

Web design and marketing across Rhode Island

For small businesses in Rhode Island, BlackDoor Creative designs websites and runs the marketing behind them. The agency, which also operates as Black Door Creative, has worked locally since 2005 and says its team is fully based in Rhode Island. Most clients start with a new website and add search or advertising work once the website is live, although some only need marketing.

Custom websites and online stores

The firm designs and develops custom websites built to load quickly and rank in search. It says clients own the website, its files and its domain. For retailers and makers it builds online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom platforms, set up to sell from the start. Its branding work covers logos, brand systems and print for new and growing businesses, including signage, vehicle wraps and menus.

Search, ads and social media

Local search optimization reaches Providence, Cranston and every other town in the state, with monthly reporting. The firm also builds structured content that AI answers can cite, and includes it in each website launch. Google Ads campaigns are tracked by calls and form fills rather than clicks. Monthly plans combine search, social, email and ads, with reputation and review management included and a single point of contact for the whole plan.

Photography, video and content

Monthly content covers photos and short videos for social media, ads and websites, shot on location at the client's premises. The firm says the photographs are of the client's own business rather than stock images. Its video work includes short films for social media, advertising and the client's website, and restaurant and business photography across the state.

Recent project

The firm lists a website redesign for one of Rhode Island's largest engineering firms among its recent work. It also cites a full rebuild for a Providence landmark, which it says went live in three weeks.
