Every WordPress site decays a little each month. A partner deletes a page, a vendor reorganizes its docs, you rename a slug late at night, and a link that worked last spring now lands on a 404 page.

Searched worked in a familiar way for decades: you'd type in your query, get back a list of pages, and choose one to click on. Behind the scenes, Google would find the pages it thought you might want, rank them, and give you a list of options. But AI-powered search is changing that experience. If you ask ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, or another AI system a question, you may not get a long list of…

A new website feels like a fresh start. The design is cleaner, the pages load faster and the copy finally says what the business does.
