Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Ontario
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Commercial activity generally answers to PIPEDA, municipal and provincial bodies to FIPPA and MFIPPA, and health information to PHIPA. We keep collection to what a feature actually needs, write down where records travel, and give administrators controls they understand.
Under AODA, public-sector organisations and private employers with 50 or more staff must make public websites and web content conform to WCAG 2.0 AA. Our default build targets WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds it, so accessibility is never a late scramble.
Barrie audiences read in English, and they span trades, retail customers, patients and municipal residents on the same site. We write in plain language, keep the reading level low without sounding thin, and label controls the same way everywhere.
We can run your application, database and backups in Canadian regions and record which services hold what. That keeps residency questions easy to answer for boards, insurers and health partners, and the hosting accounts stay in your name.
Sectors
Small and mid sized manufacturers usually need quoting, job tracking and customer visibility before they need anything clever. We build the plain version first, connect it to existing accounting or ERP, then extend once people are using it.
Builders and trades run on estimates, schedules, site photos and change orders. We make mobile tools crews will actually open, with few taps, tolerance for poor signal, and an office view that keeps project managers current.
Operators across Simcoe County live by seasons and bookings. We build fast, image heavy sites and booking flows that hold up during a promotion, plus marketing that turns seasonal search demand into reservations.
Clinics and community health providers need appointment requests, referrals and patient information that are careful with personal data. We keep intake short, restrict storage to what the service needs, and document handling for your privacy lead.
Process
Discover
A first session on video, held in Eastern Time, to understand your customers, your internal workflow and the systems already in use. You leave with a written scope and an honest list of risks.
Design
We prototype the interface in the browser rather than in static images, so decisions about content, accessibility and small screens are made against something you can click and argue with.
Build
Development runs in weekly increments with one accountable team and a demo you can use at the end of each. Priorities can shift between weeks without derailing the overall plan.
Launch
Before release we test on real devices, run WCAG 2.2 AA checks, move content and rehearse the cutover. Go live happens on accounts you own, with documentation handed over.
Grow
Once traffic arrives we look at analytics, search and support questions, then agree the next block of work. That might be new features, AI automation or a marketing program.
FAQ
No. The OlDevs studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Barrie clients are served remotely: calls in Eastern Time, weekly demos and a shared channel for day to day questions. When the work benefits from being on site, for a discovery workshop, a training session or a launch, we travel to Barrie.
By treating your afternoon as our meeting window. Barrie is three hours ahead, so a 1pm call there is 10am here and suits both sides. Between calls we write everything down in the project channel, and we reply to any enquiry within one business day so nothing waits for the next meeting.
Yes. Applications, databases and backups can run in Canadian regions, and we document each third party service that stores or processes data. Because hosting, analytics and repositories are registered to you, you can audit or relocate the whole setup whenever you want to.
AODA covers public-sector organisations and private organisations with 50 or more employees, which must make public websites and web content conform to WCAG 2.0 AA. We are not your legal advisers, so confirm your obligations with counsel, but we build every project to WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds that level.
A short video call where you use the software as it stands, in a live environment, not a slide deck. You test the parts that matter, we capture what needs changing, and that feedback shapes the next week. Recordings and notes go into the project channel for anyone who missed it.
Yes. Performance marketing is one of our seven services and covers SEO and content, paid search and shopping, paid social, email and lifecycle, analytics and CRO, and creative and media. For Barrie clients it often starts after launch, once the site can convert the traffic it earns.
