Bonita Springs, FL (September 24, 2018) – Atilus, a leading web development and digital marketing firm, proudly celebrated its 13-year anniversary on September 21, 2018. Established in 2005 by Florida Gulf Coast University students Zach Katkin and Harry Casimir, Atilus has grown from its humble beginnings into a major player in the digital space.
Originally operating under the name “Unique ID Web Design,” Casimir and Katkin rebranded to “Atilus” in 2007, honoring Casimir’s grandfather. What began as a freelance venture evolved into a full-service digital agency, providing an array of services including web design, web development, digital marketing, and web hosting.
Starting in Casimir’s apartment in Bonita Springs, the company has expanded significantly and now occupies its own commercial space.

The company’s dedication to excellence is reflected in its track record of delivering impactful solutions and driving success for its clients.
“It’s been incredible to witness our growth over the past 13 years,” said Casimir. “We are immensely grateful for the support we’ve received and excited about the future. Our success is a result of the collective effort of our clients, partners, friends, and especially our talented team.”
Atilus is deeply committed to giving back to the community, frequently participating in local events and sponsoring charities. The company has also established partnerships with various non-profits and educational institutions, reinforcing its role as a community-focused organization. The company maintains a strong connection to Florida Gulf Coast University, where its roots lie.
