Design + AI

Websites that win human attention and AI citations.

What we do

Acme Studio designs and builds dual-optimized websites: fast, server-rendered sites that win human attention and get cited by AI search engines like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. Every build ships on Astro and Sanity with semantic HTML, valid JSON-LD, an llms.txt index, and an AI-crawler-friendly robots.txt, so your content is readable by crawlers that do not run JavaScript. On the human side, each page has one clear conversion goal, a benefit-first value proposition, trust signals near every decision point, and a single intentional design break that makes the work feel premium rather than generic. The result is a site that is accessible (WCAG 2.2 AA), quick on Core Web Vitals, and ready to be maintained safely by agents through staging and human approval.

Frequently asked questions

How do AI search engines find and cite a website?

AI crawlers such as GPTBot, ClaudeBot, and PerplexityBot fetch server-rendered HTML and do not execute JavaScript. They reward answer-first content, question-style headings, valid JSON-LD, named statistics with citations, and a robots.txt that allows them in. Acme Studio ships all of this by default.

How long does a Stage-1 marketing site take?

A Stage-1 build typically ships in two to four weeks: research and strategy in week one, design and build in week two, then optimization, accessibility verification, and launch.

Is the site accessible and fast?

Yes. Every build is gated to WCAG 2.2 AA contrast and passes Core Web Vitals. Accessibility is treated as functional and is never traded away for aesthetics.
