Recent builds
Durham runs on two economies at once. There is the research and startup world around Research Triangle Park and Duke, where founders need a site that stands up to investor and recruiter scrutiny. And there is the ground-level Bull City of restaurants, breweries, retail, and nonprofits, where a website has to fill tables and drive donations. Forzur builds for both, and the requirements are genuinely different.
For Durham startups and research spinouts, we build marketing sites and product surfaces in Next.js and React that can be handed to a technical evaluator without embarrassment: fast, accessible, properly instrumented, and easy for a small team to update without a developer on retainer. For Durham's independent businesses, we build sites that win the local search and convert on a phone, because that is where the customer actually is.
We work with Durham clients remotely and in person. Everything ships as custom code you own outright, with no page builder underneath and no license that holds your site hostage.
What is different about Durham
Durham's startup density means a lot of local businesses are competing for attention against companies with venture funding and in-house design teams. A templated site loses that comparison instantly. The advantage a smaller Durham business has is specificity: real photography, real staff, real detail about how the work gets done. We build sites that spend their space on that rather than on stock imagery, which is also exactly what ranks.

Durham questions we get asked
Do you work with Durham startups pre-funding?
Yes. We scope to the stage you are actually at. A pre-seed company usually needs a credible marketing site and a clear product story rather than a full platform build, and we would rather ship that well than sell you something you will outgrow in a different direction than you expected.
Can you work with our team at Research Triangle Park in person?
We do in-person strategy and review sessions across the Triangle, RTP included. Most of the build itself runs asynchronously through a shared project portal where you can see progress, leave feedback, and approve work without scheduling a meeting for it.
We are a Durham nonprofit. Do you price differently?
We scope nonprofit projects around the budget that actually exists rather than quoting a commercial build and discounting it. That usually means being honest about which parts drive donations and volunteer signups, and deferring the rest until there is a reason to build it.
Can you help our Durham restaurant get found on Google?
Yes, and for a restaurant the Business Profile usually matters more than the website at first. We handle both: the local search fundamentals that get you into the map results, and a site that turns that visit into a booking or an order rather than losing it to a delivery app.
