Capabilities

Four disciplines.
One operator.

Every engagement is led, designed, built and shipped by Mike. No hand-offs, no junior on the keys, no agency overhead.

02Conversational sales

AI Chatbots

Not a stuck robot that repeats 'I did not understand.' These are GPT-4 powered conversational agents trained on your products, pricing, tone and policies. They sell, support and qualify leads 24/7 — then hand off to you at exactly the right moment.

  • Trained on your catalog, FAQ and brand voice
  • Handles objections, upsells and complex queries
  • Multi-channel: WhatsApp, Instagram DM, web chat
  • Captures leads, takes orders, books appointments
  • Recovers the sales you lose at 2 AM
03Autonomous workers

AI Agents

AI agents are not chatbots — they are autonomous employees with a job description. They research, write, schedule, follow up and report back. One agent can do the work of a junior team member, 100x faster, with zero sick days.

  • Lead research and personalized cold outreach
  • CRM updates, scoring and pipeline management
  • Content generation: emails, posts, proposals
  • Multi-step workflows with human approval gates
  • Integrates with your existing stack via APIs
01Flagship-grade sites

Websites that close

A website is your silent salesman. I build flagship-grade sites with editorial design, performance-obsessed code, and copy that actually converts — not just looks pretty.

  • Custom-built. Zero templates. Zero shortcuts.
  • Logo, visual system and on-brand copy included
  • Engineered for Core Web Vitals, SEO and speed
  • Shipped in under a week, not months
04Systems that run

Quiet Automations

The invisible engine behind every growing business. Leads enter your world and the machine handles the rest: confirmation, tagging, calendar invites, follow-up sequences, and WhatsApp pings — all without you touching a button.

  • End-to-end lead capture to close workflow
  • Email, CRM, calendar and WhatsApp connected
  • Conditional logic and branching paths
  • Error handling, retry logic and monitoring
  • Removes the busywork that breaks small teams

“Every site is a quiet machine — designed to look expensive, perform fast, and earn its keep from week one.”

About

I’m Mike.

Mikdad Merchant
Founder, Volvoweb

Volvoweb started as a dream — a one-person studio with no investors, no co-founders, and no corners to cut. Completely self-taught, built late at night, in coffee shops, on planes, in between every stolen hour I could find.

I started building websites because I was frustrated with what small businesses were getting: templated sites, copy from 2011, chatbots that felt like a stuck robot, and “automation” that broke the moment you used it. I wanted to ship the opposite — work that looks expensive, performs quietly, and earns its keep from the first month.

The goal is simple: help your business run better, look sharper, and make more money.

Mike rebuilt our entire site and chatbot in nine days. Inquiries doubled in the first month. He just gets it.

The automation he built quietly runs half our ops. I forget it exists until I see the time it saved us.

Easily the best designer we have worked with. Every detail considered. Launched on time, no drama.
