The future of your Website starts now
The question of whether AIs will replace website creators is a debate that needs to be replaced by how well my website will perform with AI and AI agents.
How am I going to build my website? Myself with a system that will guide me, AI or not? I use a professional, but I have no way of knowing what quality of work they will provide me.
So let’s take the problem in reverse: what my website should be or how my website will match the new forms of navigation proposed by AI.
95% of websites, that’s it: a site with a CMS
Above, these are sites created with WordPress, Spip, Joolma, Wix, etc. On the surface, they are easy to create and easy to update without coding.
In reality:
- they are heavy because they execute a large number of queries on a database,
- they all look the same because the tools for managing design are limited, sometimes paying little
- do not naturally take into account security, SEO, or readability by AIs and search engines
- do not naturally take into account the legal obligations to be displayed on a site
Results: heavy, not up to standards, poorly referenced, barely readable by search engines and AI, not at all suitable for AI agents. And the worst part is that even far too many professionals don’t know how to manage all these aspects of a site.
WARNING!
An AI or an Agent has no way to submit requests on the server side: they do not have the option to make a reservation for the client and pay for it.
Here is what a site must be within two years
Above, the site is generated from json data: these are data placed as a text file that do not require any database. The site is light and structured.
Benefits:
- light, fluid, accessible data
- suitable for search engines, AI, AI agents
great graphic freedom while remaining very light - can be generated for free by an AI
ease of integrating modern elements like a ChatBot
Disadvantages:
- requires technical skills for its completion, or failing that, to manage the entire project well. That is, to know clearly what to ask for
- dependency: the update depends either on access to the AI that generated it, or on going through a developer, or developing an easy interface that will generate additional cost.
To the question, are there any tools that allow you to generate these types of sites without code? Answer yes, but again a dependency on the capabilities offered by the tool like WordPress. For example: graphic limitation, additional paid modules, risk of site overload.
Solutions
To adapt your Webiste
Check your website on certain essential points and create new files, explain how it works
- Check structured data, SEO, llms.txt file
This is the subject of a previous article linked here. - Create model-spec.txt, agents.md, ai.txt files to explain how your site works. For example: explain how online booking and payment work, whether it is internal to the site, external to the site, via a platform, etc.
Do the first part and you’re up to date, do the second and you’re a year ahead.
No Website solution
Use third-party platforms for your activities:
- Register on platforms such as Booking, TripAdvisor, Google, Airbnb, and other platforms by business or region
- Go through platforms dedicated to your activity that offers you everything in one: a mini-site with a domain name
Advantages: you get rid of the problem by delegating everything
Disadvantages:
- no freedom of creation, experience, UX/UI design
- total dependence on the future existence or not of the platform, its effectiveness for your activity, and above all on costs and cost increases.
Re design your Website
Having your own website depends on the means you give to your communication: financial means to do the work by a professional OR personal commitment to do it yourself as best as possible.
The future: light, fluid, adaptive
- to have a site built in HTLM, Javascript/CSS well structured and to possess all the right components for search engines, AI and agents
- not depend on a CMS but freely compose its graphic appearance
The question is starting to arise: only 5% of the sites are ready, and it is estimated that the agents’ skills and use by the public will be achieved within 1 to 2 years. For SMEs selling products or making reservations online, it is essential to consider the arrival of AI agents for competitiveness.
Which professional can do it? Not much unfortunately. But with the information given here, it is easy for you to ask the right questions to know if your potential provider has the necessary skills.
Do it yourself with the help of AI, yes, it’s possible by laying out the entire project properly, SEO, agents, and AI included. Don’t use a database, prefer json. Etc. And to remain perseverant until the expected result.
