Nuclear Marmaladedesigns and develops websites engineered specifically to convert visitors into customers, combining premium visual design with data-driven optimization and performance engineering. Every site we build is measured by one metric: does it generate revenue? We don't build brochure websites — we build conversion systems that load fast, rank well, and turn traffic into measurable business outcomes.
Why does website performance directly impact revenue?
Website speed is not a vanity metric — it is a revenue lever. Research consistently shows that every additional second of load time reduces conversions by 7-12%. A site that loads in 4 seconds instead of 1.2 seconds loses roughly one in four potential customers before they ever see your offer. Nuclear Marmalade engineers every website to load in under 1.2 seconds on mobile connections. We achieve this through server-side rendering with Next.js, aggressive image optimization, code splitting, edge caching, and eliminating render-blocking resources. Google's Core Web Vitals — Largest Contentful Paint, Cumulative Layout Shift, and Interaction to Next Paint — are not just SEO ranking factors; they are direct measurements of how fast your site feels to visitors. Nuclear Marmalade builds to pass all three metrics at the "Good" threshold because faster sites convert more visitors into customers, and that is the only metric that matters.
How does Nuclear Marmalade approach conversion optimization?
Conversion optimization at Nuclear Marmalade starts before a single pixel is designed. We analyze your current traffic patterns, identify where visitors drop off, and map the shortest path from landing to conversion. Every design decision serves this path. Above-the-fold content communicates your value proposition in under 5 seconds. Call-to-action placement follows established eye-tracking patterns. Form fields are reduced to the minimum required for qualification. Social proof is positioned at decision points, not buried in footers. Mobile design is not a responsive afterthought — it is the primary design target, because over 60% of web traffic now comes from mobile devices. After launch, we implement analytics tracking on every conversion-critical element so you can see exactly which pages, sections, and CTAs drive revenue. Glen Healy personally reviews every site architecture to ensure the conversion logic is sound before development begins.

What makes Nuclear Marmalade different from other web design agencies?
Most web design agencies sell aesthetics. Nuclear Marmalade sells outcomes. The difference is in what we measure: agencies show you mockups and ask if you like the colors; we show you conversion rates and ask if you like the revenue. Every site we build is a production-grade application, not a WordPress template with a premium theme. We use Next.js and React because they produce faster, more maintainable, and more SEO-friendly sites than any page builder or CMS template. We include SEO and Generative Engine Optimization from day one because a beautiful site that nobody finds is worthless. And because Glen Healy is both the designer and the engineer, there is no handoff gap between what gets designed and what gets built — the person who architects your conversion funnel is the same person who writes the code. That eliminates the single biggest source of quality loss in web design projects.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a website take?
A standard conversion-focused website with 5-8 pages takes 3-4 weeks from kickoff to launch. Larger sites with custom functionality, AI integrations, or complex data requirements run 5-8 weeks. You see working progress every week — not a reveal at the end.
Do you redesign existing sites?
Yes. We regularly rebuild existing websites that look good but don't convert. The process starts with an audit of your current site's analytics to identify conversion bottlenecks, then we redesign and rebuild with performance and conversion as the primary objectives. Most redesign clients see measurable conversion improvements within the first 30 days after launch.
What about hosting?
We deploy on Vercel, which provides global edge hosting, automatic SSL, and built-in CDN at no additional cost for most sites. Hosting is fast, reliable, and scales automatically with your traffic. You own the deployment and can manage it independently after handoff if you choose to.
