Raleigh, North Carolina

Web design company
for Raleigh businesses.

We are not in the Research Triangle Park. We are a ten-person web and software team in northern Italy, working in English for US companies, six hours ahead of Raleigh. Here is what we build for Triangle businesses, what it costs, and when a local firm is the better choice.

What we build

Websites, apps and software
for Raleigh companies

Six kinds of project cover almost everything that reaches us from the US. The first job on any call is working out which one you actually need — fairly often it is smaller than the one you came in asking for.

01

Company website

A handful of pages done properly: who you are, what you do, who for, how to reach you. Fast on a phone, accessible, and written around the words your customers actually type into Google. From €350 one-off, or €24.80 a month with hosting and changes included.

02

E-commerce

Product pages, checkout, shipping rules, sales tax settings, order handling. Shopify when it fits, custom when it does not, and connected to your inventory or accounting so nothing gets keyed in twice.

03

Mobile apps

iOS and Android apps, or an installable web app when the App Store adds nothing. Booking, loyalty, field service, ordering, internal tools for crews who are never at a desk.

04

Custom business software

Inventory, jobs, scheduling, quoting, service reports. Built around how your company works instead of how a SaaS vendor decided everyone should work. Custom systems start from €1,500.

05

CRM and client portals

Leads, deals, orders and documents in one place, plus a portal where clients check status themselves instead of emailing you. Usually saves more hours than the public website.

06

Integrations and automation

Two systems that do not talk, and a person retyping data between them: QuickBooks, Shopify, HubSpot, Salesforce, spreadsheets. Automating that handover has the fastest payback of anything on this list.

Raleigh industries

What we build
for Raleigh

Every city has its own mix of businesses, and its own software problems. These are the ones we see most from Raleigh.

01

Life sciences and CROs

Sites that explain the science to sponsors and investors, plus sample tracking, scheduling and data intake tools.

02

Tech and SaaS

Marketing sites, internal tools and integrations, so engineers stay on the product.

03

Universities and research spin-offs

Lab and program sites, MVPs for spin-off companies, and tools that replace shared spreadsheets.

04

Healthcare

Booking, intake and patient communication with HIPAA-conscious hosting.

05

Construction and real estate

Daily reports, job costing and buyer portals for one of the fastest-growing regions in the Southeast.

06

Local businesses

Fast sites and booking for businesses in Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Apex and Wake Forest.

The commercial reality

Why a team in Italy
makes sense for Raleigh

The Triangle has a deep pool of scientific and technical companies, and a thinner pool of affordable development teams. That gap is where we fit: fixed price, written scope, code in your repository.

Our quotes are a fraction of a local agency's for the same scope — because our overhead is low, not because we cut hours.

Every site we build follows WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility, which also matters for anything connected to universities or public funding.

Honestly

Time zones, contracts,
and when we are the wrong choice

Italy is six hours ahead of Raleigh. Our afternoon is your morning: between 9am and noon Eastern we are both at our desks, and that is where calls, reviews and decisions go. The rest of our working day happens while you are still asleep, so you start the morning with yesterday's questions answered and new work to look at.

The paperwork is simple: contracts in English, a fixed price in writing, invoices without Italian VAT, and intellectual property assigned to your company. Domain, hosting, Google accounts and source code are registered in your name from launch.

When we are the wrong choice. If you need someone in your office every week, a supplier on chat through your whole afternoon, or a team of fifteen running in parallel on a seven-figure program, a Raleigh firm is the right answer — and we will tell you that on the first call rather than three months in.

How we work

Fixed price,
no surprises.

  1. Free 30-minute callWhat you sell, who to, and what the site or software has to do. No sales deck. Sometimes the honest conclusion is that you need less than you thought.
  2. Fixed-price quoteOne figure in writing, covering everything needed to go live. It does not move mid-project: anything you add later is quoted separately, and only if you ask.
  3. Built in stagesYou see something usable within the first weeks, then every week after. Corrections happen during the build, not in a big review at the end.
  4. Launch and afterGo-live, checks, training for your team. Maintenance is optional — you are not locked in, and the domain, accounts and source code are in your company's name.
FAQ

The questions from Raleigh.

Can you build an MVP for a university spin-off?

Yes, at a fixed price, cut to the smallest version that tests the idea, on mainstream technology your future team can take over.

Do you build HIPAA-conscious tools?

Yes, with BAA-backed hosting, encryption, access logs and minimal data collection.

Do you work with Raleigh companies from Italy?

Yes, in English. Italy is six hours ahead of Raleigh, so calls go in your morning, between about 9am and noon Eastern.

How much does a website cost?

A company website costs €350 one-off, plus €150 if you want the initial optimization for Google and Bing, or €24.80 a month with hosting, domain, maintenance and content changes included on a 24-month minimum term. Web apps start at €50 a month or €750 one-off; custom business software starts at €1,500. Larger projects get a fixed quote after a free analysis.

How do the time zones work with Raleigh?

Italy is 6 hours ahead of Eastern time. We schedule calls in your morning, which is our afternoon, and do most of the build while you are offline. In practice you get answers overnight rather than waiting for them during your day.

Will we own the website and the code?

Yes. On the one-off option the domain, hosting, content and source code are registered in your company's name from go-live, and the code lives in your repository. There is no license tied to us and no lock-in.

Got a project in Raleigh?

Thirty minutes on a video call, free and with no sales deck: we tell you what you actually need, what it costs and how long it takes to go live. If we are not the right fit, we tell you that too.
