Websites for local businesses, built to be found by Google and by AI.
Fast, modern websites for established businesses in McLean, Tysons and Northern Virginia, hosted on Microsoft Azure. A managed site on a monthly plan, or a custom build on Umbraco when your team wants its own editors.
Your website is either winning trust or losing it
A dated site costs trust before anyone calls. The prospect who was referred to you looks you up first, and a page that is cramped on a phone, slow to load or visibly years old makes the referral weaker than it was.
And more of those lookups are now a question to ChatGPT, Gemini or Perplexity rather than a Google search. A site that AI engines cannot read, because it says little about who you are, where you are and what you do in a form they can verify, does not get recommended. You never see that happen: there is no analytics line for "recommended someone else".
Managed, or custom on Umbraco
Managed Website
We build it, host it and look after it on a monthly plan. Your site redesigned for phones, hosted on Microsoft Azure, and changes by email covered by the plan. Nothing for you to log into, update or patch, and editor logins can be added any time.
→see managed websiteCustom build on Umbraco
For businesses that want a full content management system and their own editors: a custom Umbraco and .NET site on Azure, with integrations, migrations from another CMS, and ongoing support.
→see umbraco developmentThe foundations AI search needs, included
Every site we build starts with what an AI engine needs to read, verify and quote your business, so you are not paying to retrofit it later.
- Fast static hosting on Microsoft Azure, with a global CDN and SSL: no plugins and nothing to patch
- Structured data describing your business, services, locations, people and FAQs
- An llms.txt file that tells language models what you do, for whom and where
- AI crawler access: a robots.txt that welcomes GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and the rest by name
- Google Business Profile alignment: the same name, address, hours and services on the site and the profile
- Indexing wired up: a sitemap, Bing Webmaster, Google Search Console and IndexNow
These are the foundations of AI Search Optimization. Add the monthly plan when you want the weekly tracking and a new answer-first article every month.

Priced after a short call
Websites differ too much for one number: the pages, the content that moves over, and whether your team edits the site. You get a written recommendation after a short call.
Questions owners ask
Do you work with my existing domain?
Yes. Your domain stays yours and stays where it is registered; we point it at the new site and handle the DNS change. Your email is not affected, and every old page address is redirected to its new equivalent so you keep the Google rankings you have earned.
Can I edit the site myself?
Yes, if you want to. A custom build on Umbraco gives your team its own editor logins. On a Managed Website, changes go to us by email and are covered by the plan, and Umbraco editing access can be added at any time without a rebuild.
Who owns the site?
You own your domain, your content and your images. If you leave a managed plan, you get a complete copy of your site. If you choose to own the build outright, the design is yours at launch.
Do you do WordPress?
No. Imhauser Technologies builds on its own stack: fast static sites on Microsoft Azure, or Umbraco when you need a full CMS. We migrate your content from WordPress, Squarespace or Wix as part of the build, so moving is our job, not yours.
