Brisbane, in short

Yes, OlDevs takes on Brisbane clients.The studio sits in Vancouver, British Columbia, and the engagement runs remotely over video, with travel to Queensland when a workshop or launch is better done in the room. Brisbane is 17 hours ahead of Vancouver and Queensland does not change its clocks for daylight saving, so meetings land in a Vancouver afternoon, Brisbane morning window. Services span web, mobile, full-stack, AI and performance marketing.

Key facts

01Location
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
02Time zone
Australian Eastern Standard Time (no daylight saving), 17 hours ahead of Vancouver
03Working hours overlap
Late afternoon in Vancouver is the start of your next business day in Brisbane. The window sits in your morning, and since Queensland never changes its clocks the only shift comes from our side when Vancouver moves on or off daylight saving.

Built for Queensland

What Brisbane projects need us to get right.

The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.

01

Handling personal information under the Privacy Act 1988

Customer records, site inductions and worker data all sit under the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, enforced by the OAIC. We keep collection to what a feature actually needs, set retention rules with you, and write the whole arrangement down for your advisers.

02

Accessibility buyers can verify

Queensland government services follow WCAG 2.1 AA, and Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations apply more widely than the public sector. Our default is WCAG 2.2 AA, checked with keyboard navigation, contrast tests and screen reader passes on real pages instead of a tick list.

03

Language written for the field

Brisbane audiences read English, so the gain is clarity rather than translation. We write short labels, honest error messages and field help a site supervisor can follow on a phone in bright sun, and our bilingual English and French capability is there when a wider audience needs it.

Where the data lives

Hosting and data residency are settled before the first sprint rather than discovered at launch. Australian cloud regions keep records in country and shorten the trip for Brisbane users, and every account, domain and repository is created in your name so nothing depends on us.

Sectors

Who we work with in Brisbane.

Resources and mining services

Mining services firms run on scheduling, compliance records and equipment data that often still live in spreadsheets. We turn those into web apps and mobile tools that keep working offline in the field and sync once a signal returns.

Construction and infrastructure

Contractors need site data captured once and used everywhere: inductions, defects, progress photos, variations. We build Android and iOS apps for the site and a web dashboard for the office, connected to the systems you already pay for.

Health care

Clinics and health networks carry sensitive records and cannot afford a confusing interface. We design booking, intake and patient portal flows carefully, build them to WCAG 2.2 AA, and keep data collection tight and documented.

Tourism

Tourism operators live or die by the booking path. We rebuild slow sites, cut the steps between interest and payment, and run paid search, paid social and analytics work so the media spend and the website finally tell the same story.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Brisbane.

  1. Discover

    A short run of video calls in your morning, plus a review of the systems, spreadsheets and field processes you use today. It ends with written scope, risks and the measures we will be judged on.

  2. Design

    We map the journeys, draw the screens and test the hard parts early, from offline capture to reporting. Designs arrive as files you can comment on overnight, and we respond before your next morning.

  3. Build

    Development runs in weekly cycles with a demo you open yourself. Queensland does not change its clocks, so the rhythm of demo, feedback and fix barely moves from the first week to the last.

  4. Launch

    Hosting goes live in the region we agreed, then accessibility, load and security checks, a content and data migration, and a cutover at a quiet hour for Brisbane users with a rollback ready if anything looks wrong.

  5. Grow

    We watch real usage, fix what confuses people, and keep search, paid media and email pulling together. Roadmap sessions happen on your schedule and every asset stays inside your accounts.

FAQ

Brisbane — questions we hear first.

No, and we will not pretend otherwise. OlDevs is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Brisbane projects run remotely with meetings set for your business hours. We fly to Queensland when a site visit, a discovery workshop or a launch is clearly better in person. Everything else happens over video, shared documents and weekly demos.

Brisbane is 17 hours ahead of Vancouver. Queensland does not observe daylight saving, so the figure only moves when Vancouver changes its own clocks. We put live calls in the Vancouver afternoon, Brisbane morning overlap, keep them short and purposeful, and use recorded demos and written notes for the rest. Enquiries are answered within one business day.

Yes. We can host in Australian cloud regions so records stay in country and pages load quickly for Brisbane users, and we document the setup for your own advisers to review against the Privacy Act 1988. If your business prefers a different region, we will build it that way instead.

Yes. For mining services and construction clients we design for patchy coverage from the start: capture on the device, queue the data, sync when a connection appears, and resolve conflicts in a way a crew can understand. We test on the phones your people actually carry, not only on new hardware.

One accountable team, a working demo every week, and clear written scope agreed before we start. You see progress you can click on rather than a status report. Scope drives everything, so we do not publish numbers for this kind of work. Send us the problem and request a quote.
