A website that loads fast, stands up to scrutiny, and brings in work.

Most business websites are a brochure with a phone number on it. Ours are engineered for speed, structured for leads, and wired to track every conversion on day one — built to the accessibility and privacy standards your industry is going to be held to.

Why Imperium

What sets us apart.

Every agency says they're different. Here's the version you can verify.

The difference that causes all the others

Nothing is outsourced. Ever.

No offshore build team, no white-label contractor, no rotating freelancers. The team that scopes your site designs it, builds it, and answers the phone about it. That's why we're fast and precise at the same time — there's no handoff for things to get lost in.

35days

Kickoff to live.

A schedule at kickoff and a launch date we hold to. Six to eight months usually means your project is queued behind twenty others at a vendor they've never met.

You own everything

Domain, hosting, code, content, design, every credential. No proprietary builder to keep renting. If you leave, you take all of it — and we'll help you move it.

01

Speed is a build decision

Sub-two-second load targets hit through discipline — correctly sized images, a deliberately small plugin count, deferred scripts. Every one of those is a decision made during the build.

02

Built to convert

Designed around the decision your visitor is actually making. One primary action per page, proof placed where hesitation happens, and forms built for thumbs.

03

Compliant out of the gate

WCAG 2.1 AA written into the code, cookie consent that blocks scripts before it asks, Consent Mode v2 wired correctly. All of it handled before launch.

The Quiet Problem

Six ways a website loses money quietly.

None of these show up as a line item. They show up as a slow quarter, a lead that went to a competitor, or a letter from a law firm you've never heard of.

Diagnostic6 leaks foundOpen a row for the technical cause

No clear message above the fold, no obvious next step. Visitors decide in seconds whether you do the thing they came for.

No schema, no clean heading structure, no technical foundation. Search engines and AI assistants both read the same markup, and yours gives them nothing to work with.

No conversion tracking, no call attribution, no consent signals. Every optimisation decision after that is a guess dressed up as a report.

Mobile is most of your traffic and the worst-performing version of most sites. Oversized images, plugin bloat and render-blocking scripts are the usual culprits.

No accessibility conformance, no real cookie consent. Both are now routinely tested by plaintiffs' firms and by regulators, and neither is fixable with a widget.

Proprietary builder, someone else's hosting account, no admin access. Leaving means rebuilding from scratch, which is exactly the point.

Accessibility

ADA compliance built into the code itself.

One in four American adults lives with a disability; their households control an estimated $675 billion. A site that locks them out loses revenue and takes on legal risk at once.

5,000+US web accessibility lawsuits filed in 2025
64%Of businesses sued had revenue under $25M
~70%Of 2025 filings targeted e-commerce sites

Accessibility widgets don't make you compliant.

The FTC required the largest overlay vendor to pay $1 million in 2025 for claiming its AI widget could make any website WCAG-compliant — it couldn't. In the first half of 2025 alone, 672 lawsuits named sites that already had an accessibility widget installed. A script that runs after the page loads can't repair markup that was built wrong in the first place.

What we actually build to

Every build is checked against WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard US courts and the DOJ's Title II rule reference — with WCAG 2.2 criteria applied where they apply.

Color contrast 4.5:1 text, 3:1 large 1.4.3
Non-text contrast on buttons, borders, icons 1.4.11
Full keyboard operability — every function 2.1.1
No keyboard traps 2.1.2
Visible focus indicators on every control 2.4.7
Meaningful alt text; decorative images marked 1.1.1
Programmatic form labels and error guidance 3.3.2
Skip links to bypass repeated navigation 2.4.1
Semantic headings & landmarks, no skipped levels 1.3.1
Text resize to 200% with nothing lost 1.4.4
Reflow at 320px — no horizontal scrolling 1.4.10
Motion control — honors reduced-motion settings 2.2.2

Native HTML semantics first, ARIA only where native markup can't express the relationship. Then a person tests it with a keyboard and a screen reader.

Cookies & Privacy

Consent controls that actually do something.

Most cookie banners are decoration — the scripts fired before the visitor clicked anything, and "Reject All" rejects nothing. That's the exact failure regulators keep fining.

Granular accept or deny, by categoryNecessary, functional, analytics and advertising controlled separately. No pre-ticked boxes.
Deny is exactly as easy as acceptOne click either way, both on the first layer. That single detail is what France's regulator cost Google about $175 million in 2022, and about $375 million again in 2025.
Scripts stay blocked until you chooseSHEIN was fined about $175 million in 2025 because cookies dropped the moment visitors arrived, and kept being read after they clicked refuse. Blocking has to happen at the tag level.
Consent logged, and easy to withdrawProof of consent is a legal requirement. A persistent preferences link lets anyone change their mind in one click.
Global Privacy Control honoredTwenty US states now have comprehensive privacy laws in effect. California requires browser-level opt-out signals to be respected automatically.

Google Consent Mode v2 — wired correctly

Since March 2024, Google requires these four signals from any advertiser reaching EEA or UK visitors. Get them wrong and remarketing audiences stop building and conversions stop being counted — including modeled ones.

ad_storageAdvertising cookies & identifiers

ad_user_dataSending user data to Google for ads

We implement Advanced Consent Mode, which keeps cookieless signals flowing before a choice is made — so Google can model the conversions consent would otherwise erase.

Performance

Speed is important.

Google uses Core Web Vitals in its ranking systems — and long before rankings move, a slow page has already cost you the visitor. We build to the thresholds, then verify on real devices.

≤ 2.5s

Largest Contentful Paint

How long until the main thing on the page actually shows up. We aim well under the threshold.

≤ 200ms

Interaction to Next Paint

How fast the page responds when someone taps. INP replaced First Input Delay as a Core Web Vital in March 2024.

≤ 0.1

Cumulative Layout Shift

Nothing jumps under your customer's thumb while they're trying to tap the call button.

Ongoing Management

All you have to do is point
at what you want changed.

Managed clients get a tool that lets you click the exact thing you want changed and leave a note on it. We get everything we need to act.

Request a change

Click the element → leave the note → we get the screenshot and the technical details automatically.

You point. We already know the rest.

Most business websites go stale because asking for a change is annoying enough that owners stop asking. So the hours are wrong and last spring's service is still on the menu.

Every request captures the context for us, so nobody plays twenty questions about which button on which page.

A pin on the exact element — no "the thing under the photo"

Site Management

For sites that never sit still.

New locations. Seasonal menus. A price list that moves. A fresh landing page for every campaign. Some sites need a hand on them every single week, and that is exactly the client we are built for. You click the thing you want changed, leave a note, and it gets handled. No tickets, no account manager, no waiting for a slot in somebody's sprint.

Managed edits — hours you ownfrom $150/hr

Buy a bucket of hours and draw them down whenever you want. Ten hours to start, good for a full twelve months from the day you buy them — nothing burns off at the end of a month and unused time never disappears. The bigger the bucket, the lower the rate. Clients on this use us the way they would use an in-house web team, without carrying one.

Questions

FAQ

How long does a website take?

Most projects run 35 days from kickoff to launch. Starter sites go quicker. Larger builds — e-commerce, migrations, multi-location structures — can run five to eight weeks. You get a schedule at kickoff and we hold to it. Part of why we can promise that is that nothing is outsourced, so there's no queue at a vendor we don't control.

Do I actually own the website?

Yes — 100%. Domain, hosting account, code, content, design, and every credential. We don't build on a proprietary platform you have to keep renting. If you ever want to leave, you take everything with you and we help you move it. That's how it should work.

How do I get changes made after launch?

If you're on the management program, you use our editing request portal — it stays open permanently. Pick add, change or remove, describe what you need in plain English, attach a photo if it helps, and send. It goes straight to the developers who built your site. You'll get confirmation when it's live.

If you're not on the program, the first 30 days of support after launch are free, and after that changes run at $150 an hour, bought in buckets of ten or more that stay good for twelve months, with an estimate before we start. You'll also be able to make routine content changes yourself, because we set the site up that way and show you how.

Do you outsource any of the work?

No. Design, development, content and support all happen in-house, here in Florida. That's the reason we can move quickly without things getting lost — there's no handoff between the people who understood what you asked for and the people building it.

What does "ADA compliant" actually mean here?

We build to WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard US courts and the Department of Justice's Title II rule reference — and apply WCAG 2.2 criteria where relevant. That means contrast ratios, keyboard operability, visible focus states, semantic structure, real form labels, alt text, skip links, 200% text resize, and reflow at 320px. It's checked with automated tooling and by a person with a keyboard and a screen reader.

Overlay widgets don't do any of this. They don't create legal compliance — the FTC fined the largest vendor $1 million in 2025 for claiming otherwise, and thousands of lawsuits have named sites that had one installed. No agency, including us, can promise you'll never be sued. We can make sure your site is a much harder target than the ones getting hit.

Will it work with my Google Ads?

That's a large part of why we build the way we do. Conversion tracking, Enhanced Conversions, dedicated landing pages, a page structure that supports Quality Score, call tracking with dynamic number insertion, and Consent Mode v2 so your conversions still get counted. If you're running ads with someone else, we'll hand their team clean documentation of everything we wired up.

What happens to my rankings if you rebuild my site?

We map every existing URL, set up 301 redirects, preserve the content that's earning traffic, keep your title and meta structure intact where it's working, and improve the technical foundation underneath it. We've migrated sites off Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy and old WordPress installs without losing organic traffic. We've done it enough times to have it documented.

Are you actually in Gainesville?

Yes — 3501 SW 2nd Ave, Suite 2100. Design, development, support and everything else happens here in Florida. We work with clients nationwide, but when you call, you're calling Gainesville. In 2026 we were voted Best Marketing Agency in the Our Town Favorites awards — the only year we entered.
