About Us
Discover the Story Behind HI Banzai
Our Founder
HI Banzai was founded by Chris Fryer in 2018 with a simple mission: empower Hawaii's small businesses with custom-built web applications and technology.
With over a decade of experience in technology — including time at Apple Retail where he honed his skills in customer experience and technical problem-solving — Chris saw an opportunity to bridge the gap between world-class web technology and the unique needs of local businesses.
What started as helping friends and family build their online presence has grown into a development and consulting studio serving businesses across all the Hawaiian islands and beyond.
Our Values
Rooted in family, driven by community.
At HI Banzai, we believe that great technology should be accessible to every business, regardless of size. We take the time to understand each client's unique story, market, and goals — because every business deserves software built around how they actually work.
Our name reflects the spirit we bring to every project — "HI" for our home in Hawaii, and "Banzai" for the bold, all-in approach we take to helping our clients succeed online. We treat every project like it's our own, because when our clients thrive, our community thrives.
