A faster, clearer website
built for AI search
We build structured, bilingual business websites that are easy for customers, Google, and AI answer engines to understand — with conversion paths that can be measured.
Why template sites can't cut it anymore
A WordPress site with typical plugins scores 45–65 on Google's speed test and takes 3+ seconds to load on mobile — you're losing nearly half your visitors before they read a single word. Worse, AI search engines like ChatGPT and Perplexity can't parse the messy code structure of these templates, so they skip them entirely when generating answers. NexAgent codes your site from scratch using modern frameworks like Next.js. Every page is structured so AI search can read it clearly and cite it — fast loading, clean architecture. Every NexAgent site includes: - **Markup that AI search engines can understand:** Embedded in every page so that ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI can accurately pull and cite your business information when asked. - **Meets Google's speed standards:** Load time, visual stability, and interaction response all hit the benchmarks Google uses to decide whether to promote or suppress your pages. - **Global edge delivery:** Site runs on edge nodes worldwide — visitors in Vancouver and Hong Kong both get fast load times, no geographic penalty. - **Your business clearly described for AI crawlers:** The code explicitly tells AI what you do, where you operate, and who you serve — no guessing. The result: a site that ranks on Google, gets cited in AI answers, and converts visitors at a measurably higher rate than template competitors.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why not just use Shopify, WordPress, or Wix?
These platforms serve different needs well. Wix is excellent for a simple brochure site with no budget. Shopify is the right call for standard e-commerce if your product catalog is straightforward and you don't need custom logic. WordPress works for content-heavy blogs if you're comfortable managing plugins and updates. The tradeoffs: all three are slow by default (Wix and WordPress in particular score poorly on Core Web Vitals without significant engineering), they're targets for plugin-based security exploits, and none produce the structured semantic markup that AI engines need to cite your business. If you want a premium enterprise presence that loads in under 200ms on mobile, integrates custom AI features or complex workflows, and appears in ChatGPT answers—you need a custom-coded React application. It's the difference between buying a suit off the rack versus bespoke tailoring.
Will you handle the hosting, domain, and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We handle the complete lifecycle. We deploy your application onto global edge networks (Vercel or AWS CloudFront) ensuring 99.99% uptime and zero maintenance headaches for you. Domain setup, SSL certificates, performance monitoring, and security updates are all managed. Monthly maintenance retainers start at $300/month and cover content updates, performance monitoring, and Core Web Vitals re-audits as Google's algorithm evolves.
How long does a custom website take, and what's the cost?
A standard 5–10 page marketing site takes 3–5 weeks from kickoff to launch. E-commerce or application builds with custom integrations take 6–12 weeks. Pricing: small business site (5–10 pages) from $6,000–$12,000; medium business with blog and e-commerce from $12,000–$25,000; enterprise with custom AI features and integrations from $25,000+. All projects include GEO structured data, Core Web Vitals optimization, mobile responsiveness, and basic analytics setup.
Can my new site also be visible on Google Maps and in AI searches?
Yes, and these three things reinforce each other. A fast, well-structured site improves your Google Business Profile ranking. Structured data on your site feeds AI engines directly. We offer an optional bundle—web design + Google Business Profile optimization + GEO/AEO content strategy—that addresses all three visibility surfaces together. Most Vancouver local service businesses see the highest short-term ROI from this combined approach.
