Yes, Edinburgh organisations are a good fit for OlDevs, and we deliver the work remotely from our Vancouver studio, flying to Scotland when a workshop or a launch is better done in the room.The city sits eight hours ahead of Vancouver, which puts your late afternoon opposite our early morning, and that is where live calls go. We cover web development, web and mobile apps, full-stack engineering, AI development and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Scotland
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Edinburgh clients work under UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act 2018, overseen by the Information Commissioner's Office. We keep collection lean, log where each record travels, and build consent, export and deletion paths in from the first sprint.
The Equality Act 2010 sets duties across the UK, and the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 add more for public bodies; how they land on your project is a question for your advisers. WCAG 2.2 AA is our working standard, tested with keyboard, contrast checks and screen readers before any release.
Edinburgh works in English, so we write plainly and cut the padding, mark up language correctly for assistive technology, and keep content in a structure that will take further languages later. Bilingual EN/FR is on hand if a project needs it.
When UK residency matters, we place production and backups in United Kingdom cloud regions and document every processor in the chain. Your advisers confirm what the law requires; we make sure the build matches the decision they reach.
Sectors
Funds and advisers need secure client portals, document delivery and reporting that stands up to scrutiny. We build careful access controls, disciplined data handling and interfaces that make dense numbers readable at a glance.
Product teams come to us for the parts they cannot staff: front ends, mobile apps, data pipelines and model deployment. We work as one accountable team inside your existing process and ship a working demo every week.
Venues, operators and festival organisers need booking journeys that hold up under a sudden rush and content that reads well on a phone in a queue. We build for speed first and instrument the funnel so leaks are visible.
Universities, colleges and research groups need course sites, application flows and tools for sharing findings. We keep them accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA and simple enough for staff to maintain without calling a developer.
Process
Discover
We open with video sessions timed to your late afternoon, map the existing systems, agree what success looks like in Edinburgh terms and write a scope with fixed outcomes.
Design
Wireframes come first, then designed screens you can open in a browser and comment on. Accessibility, content structure and search are decided here, not retrofitted later.
Build
A single accountable team builds it, and every week you get a working demo on a private link, so nobody in Edinburgh waits a month to see whether the direction is right.
Launch
Real device testing, WCAG 2.2 AA checks, analytics and consent wiring, then a staged release to your United Kingdom hosting with a clear way back if anything misbehaves.
Grow
We keep going after launch: search and content, paid media, lifecycle email, CRO experiments and steady releases. All code, accounts and designs stay yours.
FAQ
No. OlDevs is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, with no premises or staff in Edinburgh. The engagement runs remotely, calls happen inside your working day, and we travel to Scotland when a discovery workshop, a launch or user testing is clearly better done in person.
Edinburgh is eight hours ahead of Vancouver, so the shared window is your late afternoon and our early morning. We put standups and reviews there, keep everything else written down, and rely on the weekly working demo. Anything you send overnight has an answer within one business day.
In United Kingdom cloud regions if that is what you need, with backups in the same region and a written list of every service that processes personal data. We build to the decision your legal advisers reach on UK GDPR rather than offering an opinion on it ourselves.
Web development and web apps, Android and iOS apps, full-stack development, AI development covering custom ML, generative AI and LLMs, natural language, computer vision, automation and agents and predictive analytics, plus performance marketing across search, social, email and CRO.
You see a working demo every week on a private URL, not a status report. Scope, decisions and open questions live in one place you can read at any hour, and the same accountable team stays with the project from the first workshop through launch and beyond.
Often, yes. We review the code, hosting and analytics you already have, tell you plainly what is worth keeping and what should be rebuilt, then work in stages so the product stays live for Edinburgh users. You own everything we touch, including accounts and IP.
