Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Ohio
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Ohio has no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute as of our last review, so your obligations come from federal sector laws: HIPAA for health data, GLBA for financial products, COPPA for children, CAN-SPAM for email and the FTC Act. We map which ones apply before we design a form or a database.
Columbus is the state capital, and the 2024 ADA Title II rule requires state and local government web content to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, with deadlines in April 2026 and April 2027 by population size. Public commercial sites carry Title III litigation risk. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, which clears both.
Columbus clients work in English, so the language budget goes into clarity rather than translation: readable copy, form labels that make sense, error messages people can act on, and headings that screen readers and AI assistants parse correctly. Bilingual EN/FR is available if you expand north.
Most Columbus clients want their data kept inside the United States. We deploy to US-East or US-Central regions on the major cloud providers, which keeps latency low for Ohio users, with encrypted backups in a second US region. The accounts sit in your name, so you can see every bill and permission.
Sectors
Agencies and their vendors need public portals, forms and case tools that meet the Title II accessibility rule, survive procurement review and stay readable to citizens. We build with documented accessibility, audit logs and plain-language content throughout.
Insurers and lenders in Columbus ask for quoting tools, policyholder portals, claims workflows and AI models that flag risk or route documents. We work under GLBA-style controls, encrypt data at rest and in transit, and keep every model decision explainable.
Retailers headquartered in Columbus typically need e-commerce platforms, loyalty apps, store-locator and inventory integrations, and paid search and shopping campaigns that pay for themselves. We connect storefront, ERP and analytics into one view.
Distribution operators around Columbus want driver apps, shipment tracking, warehouse dashboards and predictive analytics for demand and routing. We build offline-tolerant mobile apps and integrate with the carrier and telematics APIs already in use.
Process
Discover
Kickoff by video in Columbus hours, usually your early afternoon. We interview the people who will use the product, confirm which federal rules and ADA obligations apply, and agree a written scope.
Design
Wireframes and clickable prototypes reviewed with you each week. Accessibility, content structure and data flows are settled here, so the build does not hit surprises later.
Build
A working demo every week on a staging environment you can open at any time. Code lives in your repository from day one, and progress is visible without waiting for a status report.
Launch
If the rollout touches a physical site, a call centre or a large team, one of us flies to Columbus for the go-live. Otherwise we launch together over video, then hand over code, accounts and documentation.
Grow
After launch we can stay on for maintenance, analytics, CRO and paid campaigns, or train your own staff and step back. Either way, you own everything and can call us when priorities change.
FAQ
No. OlDevs is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we serve Columbus remotely. Design reviews, demos and planning happen over video in your working hours, and when a project benefits from being in the room, for a kickoff workshop or a go-live, we travel to Columbus. We do not claim local staff, because we do not have any.
Yes. Columbus is three hours ahead of Vancouver, which gives a solid overlap: your noon to 5:30 pm is our 9:00 am to 2:30 pm. We schedule standing calls inside that window and answer messages through your afternoon. Anything sent late in your day is picked up first thing in ours, so you rarely wait long.
Ohio had no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute as of our last review, so the rules that matter are federal and depend on your sector: HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM and the FTC Act. We confirm which ones bind your product during discovery and design consent, retention and access controls to match. We are engineers, not lawyers, and we work alongside your counsel.
Yes. We deploy to US regions on AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, typically US-East or US-Central for Ohio clients, and keep backups in a second US region. The cloud accounts are opened in your organisation's name, so ownership, billing and access stay with you rather than with us.
Web application development leads, often a customer or policyholder portal, followed by iOS and Android apps for field and logistics staff. AI work is usually document processing, forecasting or an internal assistant. Performance marketing requests centre on paid search and shopping for retail brands based in the city.
