Pillar 02 · Flagship Build

Websites that work, not just sit there.

An AI-native website is built on Next.js with an LLM-backed backend and a headless CMS, with intelligent features (chat that qualifies leads, smart search, personalisation) built in from the start. It is our default for all new builds since June 2026, and the kind of site a competitor cannot copy without significant rework.

Why AI-native

A site built to compound, not just launch.

Most agencies hand you a brochure site. An AI-native build has intelligent features that learn from visitors: a chat agent that qualifies leads while you sleep, search that surfaces the right content, and personalisation that shows each visitor what is relevant to them. The site gets more useful over time, not more stale.

WordPress (typical agency)

Static, plugin-dependent, ages fast

AI-native (our default)

Intelligent, fast, compounding

Common questions

What is an AI-native website?

An AI-native website is a site built on a modern stack (Next.js with an LLM-backed backend and a headless CMS) with intelligent features such as chat, smart search, personalisation, and conversational lead capture built in from the start, rather than added later as plugins.

Do I need AI features to choose this stack?

No. The stack gives you speed, strong SEO foundations, and easy content management even without heavy AI. For a simple brochure site, WordPress is still an option.

Do you still build WordPress sites?

Yes, on request, for simple brochure sites or when you specifically require WordPress. AI-native is our default for all other builds from June 2026.

How long does an AI-native build take?

Typically 8 to 16 weeks from kick-off to launch, depending on scope, number of AI features, and content readiness.
