Burnaby, in short

Yes.OlDevs serves Burnaby from our Vancouver, British Columbia studio, a few minutes away, so most work happens remotely over video and staging links while in-person sessions are easy to arrange whenever they help. Both cities sit on Pacific Time, giving us the same working hours as you. We provide web app development, Android and iOS apps, full-stack engineering, AI development and performance marketing.

Built for British Columbia

What Burnaby projects need us to get right.

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

01

BC PIPA for most, PIPEDA for some

Burnaby electronics firms, retailers and life sciences companies are usually covered by BC's Personal Information Protection Act; federally regulated organisations follow PIPEDA instead. We settle which applies at discovery and design consent, storage and deletion accordingly.

Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA

SFU, BCIT and other public bodies in Burnaby maintain accessibility plans under the Accessible British Columbia Act, and WCAG 2.2 AA is the working standard for everyone. We build components to 2.2 AA and verify them with assistive technology before each weekly demo.

03

Mandarin and Cantonese audiences

Burnaby has large Mandarin and Cantonese-speaking communities. We build sites and apps that handle Traditional and Simplified Chinese content cleanly, from fonts and layout to language-specific search tags, using your translators, and we cover English and French in-house.

Data kept in Canadian regions

Life sciences and education clients in Burnaby often require Canadian data residency. We host in Canadian cloud regions such as Montréal, Toronto and Calgary, keep backups in-country and document every service that touches personal data for your security reviews.

Sectors

Who we work with in Burnaby.

Technology and electronics

Burnaby hardware and software companies need customer portals, device management dashboards, firmware update services and mobile apps that talk to their products. We build full-stack systems with the APIs and telemetry to support them.

Film production

Production companies and studios need scheduling, dailies review and asset delivery tools that cope with large files and short deadlines. We build media-heavy web apps with secure sharing, plus automation that takes repetitive steps off the crew.

Post-secondary education

Institutions such as SFU and BCIT run on portals, course tools, event systems and research showcases that must meet WCAG 2.2 AA and Canadian privacy rules. We deliver accessible web apps and AI-assisted search built for large, varied audiences.

Life sciences

Biotech and diagnostics companies need lab data pipelines, trial or sample tracking, secure partner portals and machine learning on their own datasets. We build with audit trails, validation and Canadian hosting from the start.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Burnaby.

  1. Discover

    A video kickoff during your hours, or a session at your Burnaby office when a walk through the building tells us more. We capture users, integrations, privacy needs and measurable goals.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and clickable prototypes reviewed each week with your stakeholders, settling accessibility, Chinese-language layout and brand before code starts.

  3. Build

    One accountable team builds in short cycles, demonstrating working software weekly on a staging environment you control. Being minutes away, we join in person when a workshop moves faster than a call.

  4. Launch

    Accessibility, performance and security passes, data migration, deployment to Canadian hosting, then handover of repositories, credentials and documentation. You own everything.

  5. Grow

    After launch we keep working the numbers: analytics reviews, CRO experiments, SEO and paid campaigns, new features and AI automation as your Burnaby organisation grows.

FAQ

Burnaby — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs works from a studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we do not have Burnaby premises or staff based there. The distance is small, so on-site kickoffs, workshops and testing sessions in Burnaby are easy to schedule, while day-to-day work runs remotely with video calls, staging access and weekly demos.

Yes, and without any offset: Burnaby and our studio are both on Pacific Time. Meetings and demos land inside your ordinary working day, and when something breaks, the people who built it are awake and available.

Yes. Provincially regulated organisations follow BC's Personal Information Protection Act and federally regulated ones follow PIPEDA, and we design products to the one that applies to you. Consent, retention, access requests and data location are handled in the architecture, not in a policy page alone. Your legal counsel remains the authority on interpretation.

Yes. We deploy to Canadian regions on the major cloud providers by default, with backups and logs kept in Canada, and we map every third-party tool in the stack so you know which ones process personal data. Hybrid setups with on-premises systems at your Burnaby site are also fine.

Web app development and full-stack engineering come first, often for customer portals and internal dashboards. iOS and Android apps that connect to hardware or campus services follow, then AI development for search, document handling and automation. Performance marketing is usually added once the product is live.
