Web design · Penang
A web design studio based in Batam, Indonesia, building fast websites for cafés, guesthouses, food businesses and suppliers across Penang, from George Town to Butterworth, all remotely over WhatsApp. Live in 2–7 working days. Prices in ringgit, the renewal printed upfront, and a free homepage mockup first.
Penang customers are a mix of locals, visitors planning a trip and companies looking for suppliers. Each of them searches Google first, often in English, sometimes in Chinese or BM.
A café in a George Town shophouse, a guesthouse near Lebuh Chulia, a bakery in Pulau Tikus, a workshop in Bukit Mertajam or an engineering supplier near the Bayan Lepas industrial zone: it all works the same way. You send details and photos over WhatsApp; we send a mockup, then the finished site to check on your phone.
Visitors decide where to eat, stay and book a tour before they arrive, usually on their phone. An Instagram post is easy to miss; a website with your hours, location, RM prices and a WhatsApp button turns up on Google and answers their questions while they plan.
On the mainland and around Bayan Lepas, many businesses sell to other businesses. Buyers want to see what you make, what you can do and how to request a quote before they call, and a simple Business site with an enquiry form does exactly that. The same goes for tuition centres, salons, home bakers, caterers and workshops that rely on word of mouth today.
We’re in Batam, Indonesia, and work with Penang businesses entirely online, over WhatsApp, email and video call. There’s no office in Penang and no need to meet; you pay by bank transfer and are invoiced in MYR.
Batam is one hour behind Penang (UTC+7 vs UTC+8): when it’s 10am in George Town, it’s 9am here. Want your site in English and Chinese, or with BM too? Tell us at the start and it goes into the quote before you pay anything.
Malaysian businesses, from Sdn Bhd companies to sole proprietors, must show their registered business name and SSM registration number on their website and social media. If you sell online, Malaysia’s e-commerce rules also require details such as your contact details, business address, full price including delivery, payment methods and delivery time.
We add these to your site from the details you give us. This is general information, not legal advice; check with your adviser if your case is unusual.
Three sample designs for fictional Malaysian businesses in Johor Bahru and Kuala Lumpur, with prices in RM.
