Buffalo, in short

Yes: OlDevs takes on Buffalo work from our Vancouver studio, remote by default, with trips to western New York when a project calls for it.Buffalo keeps Eastern Time, three hours ahead of Vancouver, so we hold calls from late morning Eastern onward and schedule inside that shared window. The work spans web development, web apps, Android and iOS apps, full-stack engineering, AI development and performance marketing.

Built for New York

What Buffalo projects need us to get right.

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

01

The New York SHIELD Act

New York's SHIELD Act sets data-security and breach duties; there is no comprehensive state consumer-privacy statute as of our last review. We build to those duties: encryption, least-privilege access, logging, and a breach-notification path documented before launch rather than improvised after.

WCAG 2.2 AA across public services

Buffalo's hospitals, colleges and public bodies all publish to the public. ADA Title III litigation risk applies to public-facing sites, the 2024 ADA Title II rule requires WCAG 2.1 AA for state and local government content on the April 2026 and April 2027 deadlines set by population size, and Section 508 covers federal work.

03

English content built to be understood

Everything here ships in English, which makes clarity and structure the real work rather than translation. We write plain interface copy, mark content up so screen readers and AI assistants can parse it, and keep that discipline in patient portals, course pages and supplier documentation alike.

Readable copy · Semantic markup

04

United States hosting, cross-border care

We host Buffalo projects in United States regions by default and record where every copy of the data sits. Because so much Buffalo business runs across the Ontario border, we flag any flow that would put customer records in Canada so your counsel can decide before we build it.

Sectors

Who we work with in Buffalo.

Health care and life sciences

Hospital systems, clinics and research groups need patient-facing tools that hold up under SHIELD Act security duties and the health-privacy rules your compliance team works to. We build portals and scheduling tools with strict access control, audit trails and accessibility tested by keyboard.

Advanced manufacturing

Plants and suppliers want production, quality and maintenance data out of paper and spreadsheets. We build web apps and tablet interfaces for the floor, integrate with the systems holding your orders, and add predictive maintenance models when the data allows.

Education

Colleges and training providers juggle recruitment sites, course catalogues and student systems. We build fast, accessible sites and applications that meet WCAG 2.2 AA, integrate with the student information system you run, and make enrolment easy to measure.

Cross-border trade with Ontario

Customs brokers, carriers and distributors move goods and paperwork across the Ontario border. We build tools that handle both currencies, both address formats and bilingual English and French content, with document workflows partners on either side can use.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Buffalo.

  1. Discover

    A call from late morning Eastern, then a written brief: the outcome, the users, the integrations, and the security and accessibility requirements that will shape the build.

  2. Design

    Real screens in a browser for you to click through. We agree navigation, content, accessibility and the awkward states before development starts, which keeps the build predictable.

  3. Build

    Short cycles with a working demo every week, deployed to a link your Buffalo stakeholders can open. Feedback shapes the next cycle rather than sitting in a queue until launch.

  4. Launch

    Release into your own United States hosting accounts, with a WCAG 2.2 AA check, performance testing, monitoring and analytics configured, and a documented breach-notification path in place.

  5. Grow

    We stay on afterwards for SEO and content, paid search and social, email lifecycle, analytics and CRO, and a steady stream of product improvements shipped in the same weekly rhythm.

FAQ

Buffalo — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs is a Vancouver, British Columbia studio, and Buffalo clients are served remotely. That means video calls scheduled in Eastern Time, a shared backlog, and a working demo every week rather than a status report. When a project benefits from being on site, we travel to western New York.

Deliberately. Eastern Time is three hours ahead of Vancouver, so the dependable shared window runs from about 11am Eastern to the close of your business day, and we book calls and demos inside it. Our written updates are posted at the end of our afternoon, which is your evening, so they are ready before you start, and every enquiry gets a reply within one business day.

The New York SHIELD Act sets data-security and breach duties, so we treat security as part of the build: encryption in transit and at rest, least-privilege access, logging, dependency scanning and a written breach-notification path. We are developers rather than legal counsel, so your lawyers confirm what the statute requires of you.

It can, but we do not assume it. United States regions are our default for Buffalo clients. If your Ontario operations make Canadian hosting or a split arrangement sensible, we map exactly which records would cross the border and put that in front of your counsel before anything is built.

Yes, bilingual English and French delivery is a standard capability here. We build language switching, hreflang, translated interface text and translated form validation, and we structure content so the two versions stay aligned as they are edited rather than drifting apart over a year.

You do, completely. Ownership of the code, designs, accounts and intellectual property is yours throughout, the repository sits in your organisation, and hosting, analytics and advertising accounts are opened in your name. Handover includes documentation and access, so another team could pick the project up without needing us.
