About us

A small studio that
takes the long view.

Tao Web Services is a Malaysian web development and custom software studio based in Petaling Jaya, Selangor. Since 2020, we've helped over fifty businesses — from corner shops to medium-sized enterprises — move off spreadsheets, phone calls and paper onto systems that actually fit how they work.

We're a small, senior team. That means the person who scopes your project is the same person who writes the code, answers your questions at 10pm when something breaks, and still picks up the phone two years after launch. No account managers, no handoffs, no surprise invoices.

Most of our clients find us through word of mouth. We think that's the right way for a business like ours to grow.

§ 02 — Why teams choose us

Built for businesses
that need it to just work.

We're not the cheapest, and we're not trying to be the flashiest. We're the team you call when you need it done right the first time.
Straight answers
Plain-English proposals.
No jargon, no padded quotes. We scope work clearly, explain trade-offs, and tell you when something isn't worth building.
Local, not offshore
Based in Petaling Jaya.
We're Malaysian, working for Malaysian businesses. Same timezone, same language, meetings in person when it matters.
Long-term partner
We stay after launch.
Half our revenue comes from clients we've worked with for three years or more. We build things we want to maintain.
Honest pricing
Fixed quotes, no surprises.
We quote by the project, not by the hour. If we under-scope, that's our problem to solve — not a line on your invoice.
Reliable systems
Uptime we'd bet on.
Monitoring, backups and security built in from day one. Our clients' systems run for years with incidents measured in minutes, not days.
Your code, your data
No lock-in, ever.

§ 03 — In their words
We came to Tao with three years of Excel chaos and left with a proper system that our warehouse team actually uses. Kai understood the business before he wrote a single line of code.

§ 04 — Frequently asked

Questions we hear
most often.

The honest answers we'd give you on a discovery call. If your question isn't here, just ask — we reply within one business day.

How do you scope and quote projects?

We quote fixed-price by the project, not by the hour. After a short discovery call, we send a plain-English proposal with scope, timeline and price. If we under-scope, that's our problem to solve — not a line on your invoice.

How long does a typical project take?

Websites and landing pages usually take 4–8 weeks. AI integrations run 4–10 weeks depending on the workflow. Larger custom software projects run 10–20 weeks, broken into 4–6 week phases so you see progress and adjust scope along the way.

Do you only work with businesses in Selangor?

No — we're based in Petaling Jaya but work with clients across Malaysia. Most project work happens remotely with a kickoff in person if you're in Klang Valley. For clients in Penang, Johor and East Malaysia we're fully remote, with video calls and async updates.

What AI integrations do you actually build?

WhatsApp AI assistants, ChatGPT-powered customer support, document extraction (invoices, delivery orders), internal knowledge search over your SOPs, predictive models on your sales data, and AI-embedded workflow tools. See our AI Integration service for details.

Do you support projects after launch?

Yes. Most clients move onto a monthly care plan covering hosting, patches, backups, monitoring and small updates. Half our revenue comes from clients we've worked with for three years or more — we stay, no handoffs.

Who owns the code and data?

You do — always. Every project we deliver ends with you owning the full source code, deployment configuration, domain, data and documentation. No lock-in, no proprietary platform licensing. If we ever part ways, you walk out with everything.

Can you integrate with our existing tools (accounting, CRM, Shopify)?

Almost certainly yes. We regularly integrate with Malaysian accounting software including Bukku, Xero, QuickBooks, SQL Account; with Shopify, WooCommerce, WhatsApp Business API; and with payment gateways like iPay88, Billplz and FPX.
