The founding story

Built because the math was wrong.

Van Murray has spent years as a fractional CIO — stepping into small and mid-size businesses and running digital strategy, infrastructure, and operations without the cost of a full-time executive. What he kept seeing: small businesses were getting crushed on web operations. Either they paid agency rates — $5,000 upfront, $1,500/month, no guarantee of results — or they DIY'd it badly and paid in lost leads and credibility.

Neither option made sense. Not when the underlying work — maintaining DNS, writing schema markup, running performance checks, updating content — is largely repeatable and systematizable.

Mahiri started as a question: what if you could run an agency entirely on AI agents? Not AI-assisted. Not AI-augmented. Fully agent-operated — where agents design the site, configure the infrastructure, monitor uptime, handle updates, and maintain AI visibility, with the human in the loop only at approval gates.

The answer is what you're looking at. An agent team that designs, builds, hosts, and maintains your complete web presence — starting at $49/month.

The team

Not a tool. Not a freelancer. An agency.

13 specialized AI agents — one team that builds, runs, and grows your web presence.

How Mahiri works

Mahiri isn't a website builder you use yourself. It's not a freelancer who disappears after launch. It's a fully agent-operated agency — where specialized AI agents handle every part of your web presence, end to end.

From your first conversation with MIRA to your Monitoring Agent quietly watching your site at 3am, every stage of the arc has an agent on it.

Intake → Strategy → Design → Build → Deploy → Support → Ongoing Ops
