Brand story

Bold ideas, engineered into working products.

Bold ideas, engineered into working products. That line has guided OlDevs since 2014, when Online Developers opened in Vancouver to build websites and web apps for organisations that wanted their technology to work as well as it looked. The studio grew the way its clients did: into native Android and iOS apps, full-stack systems and portals, custom AI, and the performance marketing that keeps a product in front of the people it was built for. Twelve years and more than 25,000 projects later, the mission is unchanged: make technology feel effortless, modern, reliable and genuinely useful.

Mission

Core values

Creativity

What we believe

Six principles behind every engagement.

Creativity is a discipline

Ideas earn their place by being built. We sketch, prototype and test early so imagination turns into something you can click.

Collaboration beats hand-offs

You are in the room from the strategy call to launch. Weekly working demos mean no surprises and no black boxes.

Excellence is measurable

Performance budgets, WCAG 2.2 AA, automated tests and clean code are the baseline, not the upgrade.

Effortless is the point

Good technology disappears into the work. If people notice it, it is usually because something went wrong.

You own the work

Code, designs, accounts and IP belong to you the day they are created, with no lock-in and no strings.

Craft for everyone

Whether you are a two-person startup or a provincial agency, you get the same team, the same standards and the same care.

Recognition

110+ awards, and counting.

FAQ

Questions about the studio.

What does OlDevs stand for?

OlDevs is short for Online Developers, the name the studio opened under in Vancouver in 2014. The shorter form stuck; the work is the same: web, mobile, full-stack, AI and performance marketing under one roof.

Where is OlDevs based, and do you work with clients elsewhere?

The studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Most of our work happens remotely, so we serve clients across Canada and internationally, with meetings scheduled around your time zone and deliverables in English or French.

What services does OlDevs offer?

Web app development, Android and iOS app development, website development, full-stack development, AI development (custom machine learning, generative AI and LLMs, NLP, computer vision, agents and predictive analytics) and performance marketing (SEO and content, paid search and shopping, paid social, email and lifecycle, analytics and CRO, creative and media).

Who are your clients?

Corporations, associations and government bodies, franchises, and entrepreneurs and startups. The common thread is an organisation that needs software or marketing to work properly and wants to own it outright.

Do you work in French?

Yes. OlDevs is bilingual, so we can run a project, write content and ship interfaces in English and French, including fully bilingual builds for associations and public-sector clients.

How much does a project cost?

Every project is quoted on its scope, so we do not publish prices. Tell us what you need to build or grow and we will reply with a quote within one business day.
