No website yet, or one that is past saving.We build AEO-native from the ground up.
Velox Digital ships custom-coded small business websites with AI search visibility baked in by default, not added later. Schema, answer-first content, llms.txt, and fast server-rendered HTML are the floor of every tier, not an upsell.
No ranking or citation guarantees. We sell custom code, a measurable PageSpeed floor (85+ mobile), and the AEO scaffolding that makes citation lift achievable. Engine outcomes are non-deterministic; we do not pretend otherwise.
You are starting from scratch, or close to it.
- You do not have a website yet, and you are starting fresh with one.
- You have a site but it is so broken that the audit-and-fix Sprint cannot deliver against it (paywall, JS-only render, dead nav, locked-down builder, brand confusion across multiple DBA names).
- You are migrating from Wix, Squarespace, GoDaddy, or a similar template-driven builder, and you want to actually own the code on the way out.
- You want a measurable PageSpeed floor, not "we will do our best."
Five things that ship with every Velox build, not as upsells.
Most SMB websites get AEO bolted on later (or never), via a Sprint or a separate retainer. The Velox build ships with the scaffolding day one. The Sprint is for sites that need to catch up; the build is for sites that start ahead.
Vertical-specific schema, baked into the layout.
Restaurant builds ship with Restaurant @type, dental builds ship with Dentist @type plus availableService MedicalProcedure entries, plumbing builds ship with Plumber @type plus license credential schema. Generic LocalBusiness fallback for anything that does not map cleanly. Address, hours, services, area-served all wired correctly the first time.
Answer-first content patterns on every page.
Home page hero answers what the business does, where, and for whom in one paragraph. Service pages answer what the service is and who it is for in three sentences. About pages tie the owner to the business in three sentences. AI engines extract these as the de facto page summary; we ship them in the right shape from launch.
FAQPage schema paired with visible buyer-intent Q&A.
Five to twelve Q&A per site covering pricing, service area, process, comparison vs alternatives, and objection handling. Visible content matches the schema (no hidden-FAQ Google penalty risk). Patterns drawn from the same library used by the Sprint workflow.
llms.txt at the root, curated to top 20 to 30 URLs.
Standard llms.txt format (per llmstxt.org spec) with site name, summary, structured links to top pages, and a methodology / contact section. Engines that read llms.txt get the canonical map of what the site is about; engines that ignore it lose nothing.
Server-rendered HTML, no JS-only render.
Build is plain Next.js with server-rendered pages. Crawlers and AI engines see actual HTML on first fetch, not an empty div waiting for JavaScript to hydrate. PageSpeed mobile score 85+ guaranteed on Starter, 90+ on Growth, 95+ on Pro.

Custom code vs builder template, the honest breakdown.
The cost-vs-ownership math depends on horizon. Builders win year one on raw dollars; custom code wins on year three total cost, page speed, code ownership, and AEO scaffolding. Full per-platform comparisons:

Pricing and tier-specific questions are answered on the canonical /web-design page and the broader /faq.
What does AI-search-ready mean, in concrete terms?
Five things ship with every Velox build by default. (1) LocalBusiness or vertical-specific schema with full address, hours, services, and area-served fields. (2) Answer-first content patterns on home, service, and about pages so AI engines can extract a clean answer in the first 1 to 3 sentences. (3) FAQPage schema paired with visible buyer-intent Q&A. (4) llms.txt at the site root with curated top 20 to 30 URLs. (5) Server-rendered HTML (no JS-only render that hides content from crawlers). Other studios charge for these as upsells; we treat them as the floor.
How long does the build take, end to end?
Starter (1 to 4 pages) launches in 5 to 7 business days. Growth (5 to 8 pages with booking, blog, and conversion optimization) launches in 10 to 14 business days. Pro (9 to 15 pages with CMS, e-commerce ready, multi-location) launches in 3 to 4 weeks. Most delays are content-side (logo, photos, copy approval); we move fast when intake is complete.
Do you maintain the site after launch?
Yes. Monthly maintenance ($79 / mo Starter, $99 / mo Growth, $129 / mo Pro) covers hosting on Vercel, SSL, dependency updates, security patches, and small content edits. Maintenance is month-to-month with no minimum term; cancel any time and you keep the code and design files. We do not lock you into a platform.
Can you migrate content from my existing broken site?
Yes, with one constraint. We can migrate text, image, and structural content from any existing site (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Webflow, Shopify, custom). What we cannot migrate is your existing CMS pattern (the new site is a custom-coded Next.js build, not a Wix template). If you want to keep working in your current CMS, the AI Visibility Sprint at /services/ai-visibility-audit is the right path instead.
How is this different from a Wix or Squarespace template?
Templates ship layouts; we ship code. Wix and Squarespace templates have generic schema if any, generic content, and JavaScript-heavy renders that score low on PageSpeed and Core Web Vitals. A Velox build ships custom schema mapped to your vertical, answer-first content tuned to your buyer-intent queries, and a server-rendered architecture that scores 85 to 95+ on PageSpeed mobile. The full comparison breakdown lives at /compare/wix and /compare/squarespace.
After launch, do I need a Sprint on top?
Usually no, at first. The build ships with AEO scaffolding, so the new site starts with the schema and content fixes a Sprint would normally implement. After 3 to 6 months of live traffic, a Sprint becomes useful for the recheck cadence and incremental refinement. Optional Visibility Maintenance ($49 / month) is the in-between option for monthly rechecks plus minor refinements.
Do you guarantee my new site will rank or get cited?
No. AI engines and Google both change behavior frequently and without notice; anyone selling guarantees in this space is misrepresenting how the work moves. We sell a custom-coded site with AEO scaffolding and a guaranteed PageSpeed-85-plus floor on mobile. The sales we have closed on Velox-built sites have come from real measurable lift in citation rate over 30 to 90 days, not from promised numbers.
