Professionals stay on top of trends and best practices, and Design Wizards builds modernized website design into our packages! But what did websites look like back in the day? Web design has certainly come a long way since the early days of the internet. What started as a simple tool for sharing information has transformed into an art form and a powerful business asset. The journey from basic, text-heavy pages to sleek, interactive, and visually stunning websites mirrors the growth and sophistication of the internet itself. In this article, we’ll explore the evolution of web design, from the chaotic, pixelated pages of Geocities to today’s beautifully crafted digital experiences.

Have you ever asked a question to ChatGPT, Google, or Siri and gotten a quick answer — not a list of websites? That’s the future of search. And if your business isn’t part of those answers, you’re missing out on customers. At Design Wizards, we help small businesses stay visible in this new world of AI search. The key? Something called GEO — and no, you don’t need to be tech-savvy to understand it. What Is GEO? GEO stands for Generative Search Engine Optimization . It’s a new way to make sure your business can be found — not just in Google, but in AI tools like: ChatGPT Google’s new AI-powered search results Bing Copilot AI assistants in phones, cars, voice devices These tools don’t show the usual 10 blue links anymore. Instead, they summarize answers . GEO helps your website be one of the sources they use — or even the business they recommend. Why Should You Care? People are using AI to find businesses like yours They're asking things like, “Who’s the best plumber near me?” or “Where can I get cupcakes delivered in [my town]?” You want the AI to name your business. The rules of search are changing Traditional SEO (Search Engine Optimization) helps you show up in Google listings. But GEO is how you show up in AI answers . That’s what’s next.
