// WEB DESIGN AGENCY · SERVING CALIFORNIA

Since 2009, LegitWebs has been the web design agency serving California that businesses trust for custom, high-performance websites. Every project is built and managed by one developer, no account managers, no overseas relays, no surprise markups

We ship fast, search-ready sites with SEO foundation, schema markup, and machine-readable discovery baked into every build at no extra cost. Businesses across California get direct access to the developer who builds, hosts, and optimizes their site from day one.

Flat-rate pricing means you know your total before we write a line of code. Managed hosting is included for the trial period; after that, private OpenLiteSpeed hosting continues at $25/mo, a fraction of what managed WordPress hosts charge.

What your WordPress build includes

Every WordPress build ships the Cybermaps plugin with core crawl and llms files (sitemap.xml, robots.txt, news sitemap where applicable) plus knowledge graph and agent/MCP paths when your project needs them (typically 15+ endpoints where applicable).

Files delivered via Cybermaps (path and what each one does):

  • /.well-known/ai.jsonWell-known discovery file. Tells AI crawlers and tools where your ADP endpoints and policies live.
  • /llms.txtPrimary LLM briefing. Curated links and instructions so ChatGPT-class tools know what to read first.
  • /llms-full.txtFull site index for agents. Lists indexable URLs when an LLM needs the whole map, not the short list.
  • /llms-tldr.txtDeep one-shot context (LegitWebs draft extension). Token-budget summary for agents that ingest a single file.
  • /knowledge-graph.jsonEntity graph in JSON-LD. Connects your business, services, and pages so machines understand relationships.
  • /sitemap.xmlStandard XML sitemap for Google and Bing. Lists canonical URLs so search engines find every important page.
  • /sitemap-news.xmlNews sitemap for time-sensitive posts. Helps search engines pick up blog and announcement URLs quickly.
  • /ai-sitemap.xmlAI-tagged sitemap extension. Marks URLs with machine-readable hints for AI crawlers alongside classic SEO.
  • /robots.txtCrawler rules at the root. Tells bots what may be fetched, points to sitemaps, and documents ADP locations.
  • /feed.jsonJSON Feed of site updates. Subscribers and tools can poll recent posts without scraping HTML.
  • /updates.jsonChange log for agents. Lightweight list of recently modified pages so crawlers know what refreshed.
  • /ai-usage.jsonAgent usage policy. States how automated tools may access, cite, and interact with the site.
  • /ai-actions.jsonCallable actions for agents. Structured ways to trigger contact, quote, or other approved flows.
  • /.well-known/ai-plugin.jsonLegacy plugin manifest. Compatibility layer for toolchains that expect the OpenAI plugin shape.
  • /skill.mdAgent skill summary. Short capability brief so assistants know when and how to recommend you.
  • /.well-known/mcp/server-card.jsonMCP server card. Discovery metadata for Model Context Protocol clients.
  • /.well-known/agent-skills/index.jsonAgent skills index. Directory of installable or invokable skills tied to your site.
  • /.well-known/api-catalogPublic API catalog. Machine-readable list of discovery and integration endpoints.
  • /cybermaps/v1/searchCybermaps search API. Lets agents query your WordPress content through the plugin.

From kickoff to launch, the workflow is the same every time. No scope creep, no surprise delays, no handoffs between departments.

I've had Alex from LegitWebs handle all my websites and advertising for at least 20 years. Don't spin your wheels with other estimates, I did, several times, only to have Alex fix their mistakes. Alex has always been the man behind the scene.

Alex is the reason Custom Vehicle Wraps became so popular in the Bay Area. We've contracted LegitWebs for site designs, SEO, landing pages, Google Ads, and Google Apps for email. If you need a web designer or webmaster, look no further than LegitWebs.

Alex helped me recover my website and domain after it was lost with GoDaddy. He built a new WordPress site and helped me save money because Yahoo Business was ripping me off. Very honest, I recommend LegitWebs to all local businesses.
