## Guides
- [How much does a website cost in Australia in 2026?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/website-cost-australia/): A professional small-business website in Australia typically costs from about A$2,000 for a fixed-price brochure site to A$10,000 or more for custom sites with booking, e-commerce or integrations, plus A$20 to A$80 a month for hosting. ExIQ Web’s packages are A$1,995, A$5,950 and A$14,950.
- [SEO vs GEO vs AIO: how to get found by Google and by AI.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/seo-geo-aio-explained/): SEO (search engine optimisation) helps you rank in normal search results. GEO (generative engine optimisation) helps AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity name and cite your business. AIO (AI Overview optimisation) helps you appear in the AI summaries Google shows above its results. They share foundations: a fast, well-structured site with clear, trustworthy facts.
- [What is a next-generation website?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/next-generation-websites/): A next-generation website combines three things most business sites lack: motion and interaction that never slow the page, AI that talks with visitors and qualifies leads, and a structure built to be found and quoted by search engines and AI assistants. It is judged by the enquiries it produces, not just how it looks.
- [Static, dynamic and edge: how modern websites are built.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/how-modern-websites-are-built/): Most modern business websites are built as static pages: HTML generated in advance and copied to servers around the world, so each visitor gets a ready-made page from a nearby location. Dynamic features such as forms, bookings and AI chat run as small server functions only when they are needed. The result is faster, safer and cheaper to run than building every page on every visit.
- [What is a headless CMS, and does your business need one?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/headless-cms-explained/): A headless CMS stores and edits your content separately from the website that displays it. Your team edits text, images and products in a simple editor, and the website, an app or an AI assistant fetches that content through an API. It suits businesses that update content often or publish in more than one place; a five-page brochure site rarely needs one.
- [Website speed and Core Web Vitals, explained.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/core-web-vitals-explained/): Core Web Vitals are Google’s three measures of how a page feels to real visitors: Largest Contentful Paint (how quickly the main content appears; good is 2.5 seconds or less), Interaction to Next Paint (how quickly the page responds to taps and clicks; good is 200 milliseconds or less) and Cumulative Layout Shift (how much the page jumps around while loading; good is 0.1 or less). Google uses them as one part of its page experience signals.
- [What is structured data, and why does it matter?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/structured-data-explained/): Structured data is a small block of code, usually in a format called JSON-LD using the schema.org vocabulary, that describes a page in a way machines understand: this is a business, this is its phone number, these are its services and prices. Search engines use it to understand and display pages, and it gives AI systems clear facts to work from.
- [How to get your business recommended by AI assistants.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/get-recommended-by-ai/): AI assistants such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity recommend businesses they can find, understand and trust. To improve your chances, make sure your site can be crawled, state your services, locations and prices plainly, keep your business details consistent everywhere, earn reviews and mentions on sites the assistants already trust, and answer real customer questions on your pages. No one can guarantee a recommendation.
- [What is llms.txt, and should your website have one?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/llms-txt-explained/): llms.txt is a proposed standard for a plain-text file at the root of a website that summarises the site for AI systems: what the business does, its key facts and links to its most useful pages. It was proposed in 2024 and support from AI companies is still emerging, so treat it as a low-cost extra rather than a replacement for clear pages, structured data and good SEO.
- [How to redesign your website without losing your rankings.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/website-redesign-without-losing-rankings/): Most ranking losses after a redesign come from changed page addresses, deleted content and technical mistakes, not from the new design itself. To protect your rankings, record what ranks and brings traffic today, keep or improve the content on those pages, redirect every old address to its closest new page with a permanent (301) redirect, and watch Google Search Console closely for the first few weeks after launch.
- [Wix, Squarespace or a custom website: which is right for your business?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/wix-squarespace-or-custom/): Website builders like Wix and Squarespace are a good fit when you have more time than budget, are happy to do the work yourself and need a simple site. A custom website makes sense when the site needs to win work in a competitive market, needs features or integrations a builder can’t do well, or when your time is worth more than the difference in cost.
- [Website as a service or buying outright: which is better?](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/website-as-a-service-vs-buying/): Buying a website outright costs less if you can afford the upfront payment. Website as a service spreads the cost into a monthly fee that usually includes hosting and support, which suits businesses that want to keep cash free or prefer a predictable monthly cost. With ExIQ Web, twelve monthly payments come to about 5% more than paying upfront plus a year of hosting.
- [Website security for small businesses: the essentials.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/website-security-basics/): Most small-business websites are compromised through the same few gaps: out-of-date software and plugins, weak or shared passwords, and no recent backups. The essentials are HTTPS on every page, software kept up to date, strong unique passwords with multi-factor authentication, regular tested backups, spam protection on forms, and monitoring so problems are spotted quickly.
- [Domain names, DNS and email: what your business should own and control.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/domains-dns-and-email/): Your domain name is the most important digital asset your business owns, because your website and your email both depend on it. Register it in your business’s name, keep the login yourself, turn on auto-renewal, and give your web provider permission to manage the DNS settings rather than letting them own the domain for you.
- [Website accessibility for small businesses: what you need to know.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/website-accessibility/): An accessible website can be used by people with disability, including people who are blind or have low vision, use a keyboard instead of a mouse, or have hearing or cognitive disability. In Australia, the Disability Discrimination Act 1992 applies to websites, and the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) are the accepted standard. Accessible sites also tend to be clearer and easier for everyone.
- [The future of websites: AI agents, answer engines and what to do now.](https://exiq.com.au/web/guides/future-of-websites/): Websites are shifting from places people browse to sources that both people and AI systems rely on. More customers start with an AI answer, and AI agents are beginning to act for people by comparing options and filling in forms. The businesses best placed for this are those with clear, structured, trustworthy websites that machines can read and that turn visitors into customers quickly.
