Our Origin Story

Founded by Romeo Pott in 2018, Accretion Digital began as a humble project to design a website for a carpet cleaning company. What started as a test of capabilities quickly evolved into a passion driven journey. From referrals to a plumbing company and beyond, Romeo honed his skills, learning the intricacies of web design, branding, and SEO, and then building a team of experts in each field.
