Sacramento Digital Agency
Your website should
be your best salesperson.
Most agencies hand you a pretty site and disappear. We build systems that bring in work: custom web development paired with AI that does something useful, not AI bolted on for the press release.
What we do
Three things we do exceptionally well.
Web, AI, and the search work that connects them. We would rather be genuinely excellent at a short list than adequate at a long one.
AI Integration & Automation
AI wired into the work you already do: answering, qualifying, drafting, routing. Measured on hours saved.
- Customer-facing assistants and chat
- Document and intake automation
- Internal workflow agents
- Model selection and cost control
Search, SEO & Paid Acquisition
Found by people searching, and by the AI assistants they now ask instead.
- Technical SEO and local visibility
- Answer-engine optimization
- Google and Bing campaigns
- Conversion tracking and reporting
E-Commerce
Storefronts built to scale, from first product to full catalog.
Brand Identity
Logos, systems, and guidelines that hold up across every channel.
Content Systems
Writing that earns trust, produced faster with AI in the loop.
Analytics
Reporting you can act on, in plain language, every month.
AI Practice
AI that removes work, not AI that gets a press release.
Most small businesses do not need a bespoke model. They need four or five specific tasks to stop eating a person's week. That is the work we do. Audit first, build second, and only where the math holds up.
AI Strategy & Readiness Audit
We map how work actually moves through your business, score each task for AI leverage, and hand you a ranked roadmap with honest cost and payback estimates. You get the plan whether or not you hire us to build it.
Start here if unsureCustom AI Agents
Assistants that answer customer questions, qualify leads, book appointments, and escalate the genuinely complicated ones to a human. Trained on your material, not on generic web scrapings.
Support & sales teamsWorkflow Automation
Intake, quoting, scheduling, invoicing, follow-up. We connect the tools you already pay for and put judgment into the pipeline, so it decides rather than just forwards.
Operations & adminAEO & Answer-Engine Visibility
Your buyers increasingly ask an assistant instead of a search box. We structure your content and data so those systems can find you, cite you, and recommend you correctly.
Anyone who relies on searchAI-Enabled Websites
Intelligent site search, content that adapts to the visitor, assistants that know your catalog and your pricing. Built into the site rather than pasted on top of it.
Web & e-commerceTeam Training & Enablement
Hands-on sessions that leave your existing staff able to build and maintain their own workflows. No coding required, and no permanent dependency on an outside consultant.
Whole-team capabilityHow an AI engagement runs
Discovery
A working session on how your business actually operates today, not how the org chart says it does.
Audit
Every recurring task scored for volume, cost, and how well AI genuinely handles it.
Roadmap
A ranked plan with realistic effort and payback, including what we recommend you skip.
Build
Highest-value item first, in production and measured before we move to the next.
Handover
Documentation and training so your team can run and extend it without us.
Built for small and mid-sized businesses.
Enterprise AI consulting is priced for companies with a transformation budget. Most businesses do not have one, and do not need one. We scope AI work for teams where the owner is still in the operation every day.

Note for Gregg:
These three case studies are structured placeholders. Replace the client names, copy, and metrics with real engagements before this site goes live. Publishing invented results would put you at real risk.

Who you're hiring
Thirty years of shipping technology, now pointed at AI.
Capitol CoDesign is not a rotating cast of junior contractors. It is built on more than three decades of building, deploying, and maintaining real systems. Long enough to have watched several waves of technology arrive, and to tell the difference between one that changes the work and one that changes the vocabulary.
AI is the first kind. It genuinely collapses work that used to take a person a day into something that runs in the background. But most of what gets sold as AI right now is a chatbot bolted onto a homepage, and it does nothing. We build the version that actually removes work: intake that handles itself, content produced in hours rather than weeks, assistants that answer the questions your team keeps answering by hand.
Most of our clients come to us after an agency relationship went sideways. They are tired of vague deliverables, retainers with nothing to show, and not being able to reach anyone who can make a decision. We designed this practice to be the opposite of that.
What that means in practice
30+
Years building production technology. We have shipped things that had to keep running

In their words
What clients say.
The pattern we hear most: clear communication, work that shipped on time, and no mystery about where the money went.
Do not publish as-is:
These are placeholder testimonials written to show the layout. Publishing invented client quotes as real is deceptive advertising and creates genuine FTC exposure. Replace every one with a quote you have permission to use, or delete this section until you have them.
[Placeholder: replace with a real client quote. Roughly two to three sentences works best: what the problem was, what changed, and what it was like to work together.]
[Client Name]
[Title, Company]
[Placeholder: replace with a real client quote. Specific outcomes land far harder than general praise.]
[Client Name]
[Title, Company]
[Placeholder: replace with a real client quote. A line about responsiveness or clarity pairs well with the two above.]

Frequently Asked Questions
Direct answers for humans & search engines.
Clear answers on how custom web development, background AI automation, and Answer-Engine Optimization save hours and drive business growth.
What is practical AI automation for small businesses?
Practical AI automation replaces repetitive manual tasks—such as client intake, lead qualification, appointment scheduling, and invoicing—with background workflow agents that save staff hours, rather than decorative homepage chatbots.
How does Answer-Engine Optimization (AEO) work?
AEO structures your website data, schemas, and content so AI search assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini can index, cite, and recommend your business when prospective clients ask conversational queries.
Why hire Capitol CoDesign instead of a traditional digital agency?
Capitol CoDesign offers 30+ years of engineering experience with direct principal access, fixed-scope proposals, transparent pricing, and 100% full ownership of code and assets.
What is the timeline for kickoff to launch?
Most projects take between 2 to 4 weeks from initial strategy audit to full production deployment, depending on system complexity.
