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 $149/month.

The team

Five agents. One mission.

Each agent handles a specific domain. Together, they cover everything a full agency would — without the overhead, the handoffs, or the markup.

Strategy
Research, planning, positioning
Handles competitive analysis, market positioning, pricing strategy, and go-to-market planning. When Mahiri needs to make a strategic decision — about a customer's positioning or the platform itself — Strategy runs the analysis and builds the case. This is the thinking layer: no implementation until the reasoning is sound.
Design
Visual design, mockups, brand
Designs websites, creates mockups, and maintains visual consistency across every customer site. Layout, typography, color — Design owns it.
Build
Engineering, deployment, infrastructure
Builds and deploys every site. Handles DNS, CF Pages deployments, schema, and technical implementation. If it runs in production, Build shipped it.
Monitor
Uptime, performance, security
Watches every customer site continuously. Flags downtime, performance regressions, and security issues before they become customer problems.
Intelligence
Claude-powered operations, AI visibility
Manages AIO — AI Indexing Optimization — ensuring every site is visible to GPT, Claude, Perplexity, and Google AI. Maintains llms.txt, schema, and crawler access.
