TLG Marketing designs websites for Durham, North Carolina businesses, including life sciences companies, clinical research firms, medical practices, restaurants and service companies. We turn complex work into clear pages, build fast responsive sites and connect forms and call tracking from launch. We’ve been based in Long Beach, California since 2006 and work with Durham clients remotely, scheduling reviews around lab and clinic hours.
What a website needs to win customers in Durham
Durham, the Bull City, is home to Duke University and its health system, part of Research Triangle Park and a busy startup scene downtown. Websites here have to serve:
- Scientific and clinical buyers. IQVIA is headquartered in Durham, and biotech and contract research firms fill the area around RTP. Their sites must explain specialized services in plain terms for partners, investors and procurement teams.
- Visitors coming for treatment at Duke. Duke Health draws patients from across the region, and nearby lodging, pharmacies and home care services need directions, parking information and request forms that work on a phone.
- Candidates comparing employers. Firms compete for graduates of Duke, North Carolina Central University and nearby UNC Chapel Hill, so careers pages with real roles and team photos carry weight.
- Downtown food and entertainment. Restaurants around the American Tobacco Campus and Durham Bulls games need menus, reservations and event times that are easy to update.
How we build a Durham website
We begin with interviews about your audiences, whether that’s scientists, investors, patients or diners, and map the pages each one needs. After design approval our developers build the site, and our UI and UX design work keeps navigation simple even when the subject matter isn’t.
Contact forms, job applications and tracked calls are set up in GA4 before launch, and reports show which pages bring partners, patients or customers to you.

// Questions
Web design in Durham: common questions
Do you have an office in Durham?
No. Durham founders and practice managers review designs with us over video, leave comments directly on pages and approve each stage online, while our team works from Long Beach, California.
What does a Durham life sciences startup need on its first website?
Start with a plain-language statement of what you do, a page on your science or platform, your leadership team, a news section and a careers page. Investors, partners and candidates will all visit, so each needs an obvious path to contact you, and we build it so pages can be added as your pipeline and team grow.
How much does a website cost?
It depends on scope: the number of pages, custom features, ecommerce and how much content needs writing. Tell us your budget on the form and we’ll show you what it can achieve.
How long does a website project take?
A small business website takes about two weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with ecommerce, integrations or a lot of content take longer, and your proposal gives the timeline. Getting content and feedback to us quickly is the biggest factor you control.
Can you work on our existing website?
Yes. We can redesign it, improve what’s there, speed it up or move it to a new platform. We start by reviewing the current site so we know what’s worth keeping.
