How we work
Before: Vague Quotes and Missed Deadlines. After: A Written Scope and a Fixed Price.
This is how every Purple Triangle Website Systems project runs, from the first message to launch and beyond. Website design and development in Raleigh, North Carolina, for clients across the United States and Nigeria.
Every project follows the same path: you tell us what you need, we send a written scope and fixed price, you approve it, we build with review points along the way, and we launch. Payment is 50 percent to start and 50 percent at launch, and you own the site after final payment.

FAQ
Process Questions
What happens after my site launches?
You own the site after final payment. You can manage it yourself, move it to another host, or choose a care plan from $79 per month for hosting, updates, daily backups, and security. Higher plans add edit hours, monitoring, reports, priority support, and a quarterly SEO checkup.
How long does a website take to build?
A Starter Site usually takes 3 to 4 weeks, a Business Site 6 to 8 weeks, and a Systems Build 8 to 14 weeks. The timeline is written into your scope, along with review points, and it depends on receiving your content and feedback on time.
When do I pay?
Website builds are paid 50 percent to start and 50 percent at launch. Care plans and search visibility are billed monthly. You see every cost in your written scope before you approve it, and nothing is billed for work you have not agreed to.
