Insights.

What I’m learning about building websites for the agentic web. I answer the question first, link evidence where a fact comes from another source, and explain the limits of a result or prediction. If something needs correcting, tell me.

I learn most of this by building, testing agents and AI workflows daily across various websites, internal tools, and client work.

Topics I write about

The agentic web

What changes when AI agents, not only people, find, compare and act on websites. Start with what the agentic web is, then agent-ready websites, WebMCP and whether llms.txt works.

Post-click value

Fewer clicks, each worth more. Conversion, speed and the path to an enquiry, for people and for agents. Start with what post-click value is and the CRO audit checklist.

AI-native websites

Building websites with AI and for AI: tools, platforms and what changes in the build. Start with AI tools for web design and is web design dead?

AI automation and workflows

How my team uses Claude Code inside a project structure, with scoped access and review before release. What marketing teams can automate, and where a person still needs to decide.

Running AI websites safely

Security, maintenance, hosting and access control when AI tools can read and write your site. Start with how to secure a WordPress website and the best WordPress hosting in Australia.

AI visibility

Being found, cited and recommended by ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity and Google’s AI answers, using what the evidence supports. Start with SEO strategy in the AI search era and link building when AI answers the query.

For marketing teams

Practical guides for teams who want to build with AI but don’t know where to start: costs, redesigns, speed and choosing who builds. Start with website redesign and what a website costs.

Research and data

Original studies with the method, the sample and the limits stated, and the data free to reuse with credit. Start with what Australian businesses ask about their websites.
