Who are we?

Bitter-Coffee Studio was established in late 2006 with a mission to create handcrafted websites which are not only beautiful but functional. Founded by 2 ladies, Iwani Khalid and Nadiah Sulaiman; Bitter-Coffee also aims to bring a refreshing revolution in the local website design and development scene.

Although our team is small, we are very enthusiastic, energetic and passionate about our work. We value quality over quantity. Each of us have our expertise and skills and we utilize them to create the best works for our clients. We also believe by being small, we can be more focused, discipline and dedicated towards our tasks.

Iwani in an apple!

Iwani Khalid – Project Manager
Is the voice of the company and our clients – responsible for success in each project to bring together client objectives and end-user needs. Also our very own XHTML and CSS princess. Very precise and highly disciplined – traits of a fab Project Manager. A singer songwriter off working hours. Mental note: Avoid karaoke sessions with her at any cost, you’ll never get your hands on the mic.

Nadiah in an apple!

Nadiah Sulaiman – Creative Director
Is the eyes of our company. Whatever she sees through her eyes, she’ll portray them in utmost creativity onto screen or paper. Speaks in colour hex, sees in pixel and smells typography. Developed her skills in website design and adoration for typography over years of mutation and tempering. So obsessed in making sure Bitter-Coffee practices web standards. Off the web you might find her hunting down for mouth watering food or trying to stay fit with Billy Blank.

Shidi in an apple!

Rashidi Zin – Lead Developer
Is the magician of our company. With his wand and spells, he contributes a wider range of technical and programming skills to the team. A new addition to the company and fast becoming one of the industry’s finest! Never fails to come up with practical, clean and usable codes. He breathes PHP, Java and OOP. Off work, you’ll find him writing poetry and wooing girls with his poetic ammunition!

What do they say about us?

I had such a great opportunity to work as strategic partners with the BC guys from the very early start of my company. It has been a pleasure to work with Bitter-Coffee. The mind-numbing attention to details, the amount of commitment given and the dedication they gave to each and every project is at the very least outstanding. No stones left unturned here. And that was 2 years ago. I've seen them grow beyond a small startup into a confident design house. Bitter-Coffee's identity and design sense exudes a friendly, warm comfortable feeling that you should consider every time you plan to make your website feels like home to your prospective clients. Its like bringing fresh-roasted coffee to your visiting guests. - Hikmat Iskandar, Business Executive, 5phases Systems

Bitter-Coffee has proven to be innovative, reliable and responsible in undertaking the web projects. The company was very persistent in ensuring all project requirements were met and provided us with efficient after-sales services as well. We will definitely continue to work with them in the future. - Oon Yeoh, New Media Editor, The Edge Communications Sdn Bhd

Bitter-Coffee Studio did an incredible job in delivering to our complex requirement to fulfill our corporate branding initiative. They worked smart and hard to meet our needs. I would recommend them anytime! - Kayode Muyibi, Business Development Manager, Nairahost

It is refreshing to see there are still people out there that are still working based on passions of their work. Your work/efforts remind me of the 'Body Shop' experience - which in many ways balance the needs and wants into a perfect symbiosis! - Ismail Hj. Awab, President, PSDC International Sdn Bhd
