Fix it, move it, or rebuild it? Decide before you spend.
AI-native websites change how sites get built and run. Pick the right path without putting your brand, search traffic, or integrations at risk.
Fixed scope · Fee set after the free assessment
What's at stake
A website move is easy to get wrong, and expensive to undo.
- A migration done wrong can cost search traffic you spent years earning.
- Forms, CRM, and analytics can break quietly, and leads disappear with them.
- AI agents changing your site with nobody approving the work.
Why now
The question used to be “Which CMS?”
Now it's: How will AI agents work on your site? Who approves changes? What happens if one is wrong? Get those answers first. Then build.
Transition paths
Four paths. One fits your business.
- Path 01
Improve in place. Your platform still works. Make it better.
- Path 02
Migrate as-is. Same site, new AI-ready foundation.
- Path 03
Migrate + improve. Move it and fix what’s holding it back.
- Path 04
Redesign + migrate. New brand expression, new foundation, one project.
Scope
What we look at.
- What the site must do for sales, marketing, and customers
- What your brand and search rankings can’t afford to lose
- Every form, integration, and tool that has to keep working
- Who owns the code, the accounts, and the keys
- What AI agents may change, and who signs off
Deliverables
What you get.
- A clear recommendation: improve, migrate, or redesign
- The tradeoffs of each path, in plain English
- A plan to preserve your URLs, search, and integrations where possible
- A phased roadmap you can hand to any team

The team now updates the site by asking an AI agent in plain language. Every change is recorded and can be restored.
Control
AI can change your site. You stay in charge.
Where it fits, the site runs under ZINC's governance platform, Dispatch: approvals, a record of every change, monitoring, and one-click restore.
Dispatch isn't a reason to migrate. It's how you stay in control if you do.
See how Dispatch worksI'm platform-neutral. If your current site is the right answer, I'll tell you. If you migrate, you can use ZINC or any qualified team.

60–90 minutes. You’ll leave knowing where AI can save you time, where it’s putting you at risk, and what to do first. No pitch. No commitment.
FAQ
Questions leaders ask before a website decision.
AI-native websites, AI website migration, platforms, search risk, and cost.
What is an AI-native website?
An AI-native website is built on a modern codebase that AI coding agents can work on directly. Team members request changes in plain language, the agent prepares them, and people review higher-risk work before it goes live. The design, content, and URLs can stay the same. The operating model is what changes.
What does an AI website migration involve?
Moving an existing site from its current CMS to an AI-native foundation. The work includes a full inventory of pages, URLs, redirects, forms, integrations, analytics, and structured data; a staging build that is tested while the current site stays live; a coordinated launch; and monitoring afterward. Whether it is worth doing is the question the strategy engagement answers first.
Do we have to migrate our website?
No. The purpose of the engagement is to choose the right path. If your current platform still fits the business, I will recommend improving it rather than moving for the sake of moving.
Should we move our website off WordPress?
Only if the business case is there. Many sites should stay on WordPress. Companies usually consider moving because of plugin maintenance, security exposure, publishing friction, or technical debt. An AI Website Transition Strategy weighs those costs against the cost and risk of migrating before recommending whether to improve in place, migrate, or redesign.
Is Webflow still a good choice for a business website?
Yes, for many businesses. Webflow remains the right platform for a lot of companies. The decision should be driven by requirements: content model, publishing workflow, integrations, design needs, team capability, ownership, hosting, performance, and governance. I assess WordPress, Webflow, and other platforms against the same criteria.
Will a website migration hurt our search rankings?
No responsible advisor should promise unchanged rankings. The plan addresses URL continuity, redirects, metadata, internal links, structured data, crawlability, performance, and post-launch monitoring to reduce avoidable risk.
Do we need to redesign our website to migrate it?
Not necessarily. A transition can preserve the agreed design and content, include targeted improvements, or support a full redesign. The recommendation depends on what is working and what the business needs next.
How much does an AI website migration cost?
It depends on site size, integrations, content, and whether design changes are included. The AI Website Transition Strategy is a fixed-scope engagement with scope and fee defined after the initial assessment, and it produces a budget range for execution. Your own team, another partner, or ZINC can execute the roadmap; any ZINC work is scoped separately.
Do I need to know how to code to manage an AI-native website?
Not for every supported task. An agent-ready operating model can let team members begin work with plain-language requests, but the organization still needs clear review, approval, and escalation rules.
What is Dispatch?
Dispatch is a management layer for AI-powered websites. It helps teams govern work produced by coding agents through review, approvals, risk controls, attribution, monitoring, and restore capability.
