Web design for Penang businesses
Penang runs on two economies at once. In George Town, heritage cafés, boutique hotels, tour operators and homegrown retailers compete for customers who research everything on their phones before they walk in. On the other side of the island, in Bayan Lepas and Bayan Baru, engineering outfits, suppliers and professional services orbit the free industrial zone, where a dated website quietly costs you credibility with procurement teams. Stacky builds custom-coded Next.js websites for both kinds of Penang business — no WordPress, no page builders, just fast, hand-built pages shaped around what your customers actually search for.
Speed is not a vanity metric here. A visitor standing outside a kopitiam on Lebuh Chulia comparing menus, or an Air Itam homeowner hunting for a contractor between errands, will abandon a page that stalls on hotel wifi or a patchy mobile connection. It is widely understood in the industry that page experience feeds into how Google ranks local results, which is why we target 95+ Lighthouse scores on every build — a target we engineer towards, not a score we promise. The practical effect is a site that loads quickly on the mid-range phones most of your customers actually carry.
We will be upfront about geography: Stacky is a founder-led studio based in Kuala Lumpur, and we serve Penang remotely. In practice, this suits most owners fine. Discovery happens over a video call, day-to-day decisions run through WhatsApp, and you review your site on live staging links rather than static mockups. If you want to gauge our work first, our showcase features demo builds we designed ourselves, from a restaurant reservation site to a florist storefront — they are concept projects, not client work, and we label them as such.
Pricing is public and starts at RM1,500 for a one-to-three-page starter site, with our most popular Business package at RM3,500 — full details on our pricing page, and every package includes three months of free hosting. Tell us what you are trying to build, whether that is a Gurney retail brand or a Bukit Mertajam service business, and we will send a free quote, itemised line by line, within one business day. We are SSM-registered and happy to start the conversation on WhatsApp.
- •Site architecture planned around how Penang customers search — a tourist-facing café in George Town or resort business in Batu Ferringhi needs a very different structure from a B2B supplier serving the Bayan Lepas industrial zone, and we sort that out on the first call.
- •Mobile-first, custom-coded Next.js builds that stay quick on congested holiday-weekend networks and mid-range phones, because most local searches in Penang happen on mobile.
- •A WhatsApp-first remote process with no pretence: we are KL-based, we say so plainly, and video calls plus live staging links mean the distance never touches the quality of the finished site.
- •Published, transparent pricing from RM1,500 with no location surcharge, from an SSM-registered studio that replies within one business day.
