Yes. OlDevs serves Boston companies remotely from our studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we visit on site when a project benefits from it.With Boston three hours ahead, your midday and afternoon overlap our morning, which is enough for daily calls and weekly demos. Our services cover web app development, iOS and Android apps, full-stack engineering, AI and machine learning, and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Massachusetts
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Massachusetts data-security regulations require a written information security program for organisations holding residents' personal information. We build to support that programme: encryption in transit and at rest, access controls, logging and a clear record of where personal data lives.
ADA Title III claims against public-facing sites are a real risk in Massachusetts, and the 2024 Title II rule requires state and local government content to meet WCAG 2.1 AA. Building to WCAG 2.2 AA from the first sprint costs less than retrofitting and gives you a documented standard to point to.
Boston is an English-language market, so we invest in plain, well-structured copy that reads well to patients, students and investors. Interface text is kept in translation-ready files, so if a programme later needs another language the work is additive rather than a rebuild.
We deploy to US cloud regions so your data does not leave the country, and we choose the region closest to your users for speed. Accounts, billing and keys are set up in your company's name, so ownership is never in question if you change vendors.
Sectors
Research companies need lab data platforms, investor-ready websites and machine learning that can read assay results or literature. We build with validated inputs, audit trails and clear model documentation so reviewers can follow the logic.
Universities and colleges ask for accessible websites, student-facing mobile apps and admissions tools that integrate with existing campus systems. We prioritise WCAG 2.2 AA, single sign-on and content that non-technical staff can maintain.
Hospitals, clinics and digital-health startups need patient portals, scheduling apps and AI triage assistants handled with care. We keep protected health information inside your controlled environment and design consent and access rules into every screen.
Product companies often need a second team to ship a customer dashboard, a companion mobile app or an AI feature while the core engineers stay on the platform. We plug into your repositories and tooling and deliver a working demo every week.
Process
Discover
Kickoff happens on video during your Boston afternoon. We interview stakeholders, review existing systems and data obligations, and return a scope your leadership can approve.
Design
We produce user flows, wireframes and a clickable prototype, reviewed with your team each week. Accessibility and data-handling decisions are settled here, before engineering starts.
Build
Engineering runs in weekly increments with a demo you can open on staging at any time. If a sprint review or a lab visit needs us in Boston, we schedule the trip around the milestone.
Launch
We complete security and accessibility checks, cut over to your US hosting region and hand you the repositories, credentials and runbooks. Nothing stays under our name.
Grow
Post-launch we can add features on a steady cadence and run search, paid and lifecycle marketing, reporting results in plain language each month.
FAQ
We do not. OlDevs is a Vancouver studio that works with Boston companies remotely, with video calls in Eastern Time and weekly demos on a staging site your team can open at any time. When a workshop, launch or investor demo is easier in person, we travel to Boston for it.
Yes. Boston is three hours ahead of Vancouver, so your 12:00 to 17:30 overlaps our 9:00 to 14:30. Kickoffs, stand-ups and demos are booked in that window. Messages you send in your early morning are picked up when our day starts, and launch days are staffed to your schedule.
We build to support the Massachusetts data-security regulations at 201 CMR 17.00, which require a written information security program for organisations holding residents' personal information. There is no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute in the state as of our last review. Your counsel confirms the legal reading; we make the technical side straightforward.
Yes. For Boston clients we deploy to US cloud regions by default and choose the one closest to your users. Every hosting, domain and analytics account is created under your company's ownership, so you can move or audit it at any time without involving us.
Web apps and data platforms for biotech and life-sciences companies, accessible websites and mobile apps for higher education, patient-facing tools for health care, and AI features for software companies that need a second team. Performance marketing usually follows once the product has something to sell.
