Yes, and the time difference is friendlier than most.OlDevs serves Berlin clients remotely from the Vancouver studio on Pacific time, travelling to Germany when a workshop or a launch justifies it. Berlin is 9 hours ahead, so your late afternoon meets our morning and we can hold a proper conversation most days. The services on offer are web app development, web development, Android and iOS apps, AI development, full-stack engineering and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Berlin
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Berlin projects sit under the GDPR, enforced by the national data protection authority alongside the German Federal Data Protection Act. We collect less by default, write consent behaviour into the specification and document every processor, leaving the legal reading to your counsel.
The European Accessibility Act applies to many consumer digital services from June 2025, and WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard behind it. We build to AA throughout: semantic structure, keyboard operation, contrast, focus visibility and screen reader testing on real flows.
German is the language of the market while English is widely used in technology, so most Berlin products need both. We plan the content model for two languages from the outset, keep German copy natural rather than translated, and let editors change either without a developer.
Every major cloud provider runs German and other EU regions, so production data and backups can remain in the Union. We fix the region and the list of third party services early, then record where each store sits so your data protection review has a single source.
Sectors
Founders and product teams need to get something real in front of users quickly, then harden it. We build in weekly demos, keep the architecture simple until traction justifies more, and hand over a codebase your own hires can pick up.
Studios, labels, agencies and cultural organisations need sites that carry their work without getting in its way. We build fast, accessible front ends with editing tools your team can run day to day.
Clinics, research groups and health companies handle sensitive information and complex content. We keep data collection minimal, make patient facing flows plain and calm, and document how information moves through the system.
Public bodies and policy organisations need bilingual publishing, accessibility that stands up to audit and a clear trail of decisions. We work in documented steps and build to WCAG 2.2 AA from the first component.
Process
Discover
We meet in your late afternoon, our morning, to work through goals, users and constraints. The output is a written scope in plain language that your team can review and sign off.
Design
Wireframes then finished screens in German and English, shared as a prototype you can click. Feedback comes in comments, and we respond in the same overlap window the next day.
Build
Short delivery cycles, a working demo every week, and a private link so you can test on your own hardware. Accessibility and privacy checks run inside each cycle, not at the end.
Launch
A rehearsed release from staging, scheduled around Central European Time, with monitoring through your first full business day and a rollback plan agreed before we begin.
Grow
We review analytics together, improve the weak points, and run SEO, paid and lifecycle work where it fits. Roadmaps are short and revisited, so priorities can change with the market.

FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we have no office or staff in Berlin. Berlin clients are served remotely, with video calls scheduled in Central European Time and written updates in between, and we travel to Germany when a workshop or a launch calls for being there.
Nine hours leaves a genuine daily overlap: your late afternoon is our morning. We use it for decisions and demos, then build through our day so there is new work waiting when Berlin starts. Anything urgent outside that window is handled in writing with a same day reply.
Yes. The major providers operate German and other EU regions, so production data and backups can remain inside the Union. We choose the region before production, list every third party service that processes data, and give you a written record for your own data protection review.
We design for less data: only fields with a clear purpose, retention defined in the specification, and consent handled properly rather than assumed. Every processor is documented as we go. Your data protection officer or counsel makes the legal assessment, because we do not advise on law.
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, the working standard behind the European Accessibility Act, which applies to many consumer digital services from June 2025. Structure, keyboard operation, contrast and screen reader behaviour are tested during the build. Confirming your scope is a matter for your advisers.
We build bilingual German and English products and plan both languages from the design stage, including the content model and editing tools. German copy is written or approved on your side so it sounds native, and OlDevs also has bilingual EN and FR capability from our Canadian work.
