Your Durham game plan

How we'd grow a Durham business

Time your marketing to the school year

Move-in week, game days and graduation all spike searches in Durham. We plan content and ads around the academic calendar.

Reach the medical workforce

Hospital and clinic staff in Durham work odd hours and search on their phones between shifts — mobile-first pages and click-to-call ads catch them.

A site built for digital-first buyers

Durham's tech-savvy customers expect a fast, modern site with online booking. Ours load in about two seconds on a phone.

Capture new residents first

New Durham residents don't have a go-to plumber, dentist or gym yet. Whoever ranks first when they search gets years of their business.

What business owners say

★★★★★
“The attention to detail that EP shows is noticeable. They listen to their client's needs and fine tune the approach to produce success. We created a new website with EP's help, started a marketing program with Facebook and Instagram posts, and even ordered business cards. Many clients have commented that the website is one of the best they have ever seen! Our enrollment has increased!”

“Couldn't be happier working with Electronic Playground. Working with Jake, Cameo and Julian has been seamless. Whenever I need an edit or addition to our site, they get it done immediately — which is not the experience I've had building other websites in the past.”
