Access issues
Yes. OlDevs works with Hartford organisations from our Vancouver studio, and we travel to Connecticut when a project benefits from time in the room.Hartford is on Eastern Time, three hours ahead of Vancouver, so your afternoon is our morning and we book meetings inside that shared stretch of the day. We build web apps, Android and iOS apps, websites, full-stack systems, AI features and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Connecticut
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Consent, notice and data subject requests are designed into the build rather than bolted on later. We map what a Hartford site or app actually collects, keep that set small, and give your staff a working way to handle requests under the Connecticut Data Privacy Act. Your own counsel decides how the law applies to you.
Public-facing sites carry ADA Title III litigation risk, and the 2024 ADA Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 AA for state and local government content with deadlines in April 2026 and April 2027. Section 508 applies to federal work. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test with keyboard and screen reader.
Hartford has a large Spanish-speaking community, so a second language cannot be a browser translation widget. We build real translated pages with correct language attributes, translated forms and navigation, and an editing model your own writers can keep current.
We can host in United States regions and keep the database, backups and logs there, with the region agreed and written down before any code ships. You own the hosting accounts, the repositories and the domains, so nothing depends on us staying involved.
Sectors
Quoting flows, claims portals and adviser tools that carry real rules and real audit trails. We keep the logic testable, the data model documented, and the front end quick enough that people finish what they started.
Suppliers and shops need production dashboards, quality records and customer portals that read cleanly on a shop floor tablet. We connect to the systems you already run instead of asking you to retype the same numbers twice.
Patient-facing pages, referral forms and internal tools where clarity matters more than decoration. We agree what data is collected before we design a screen, and we build every flow to WCAG 2.2 AA so nobody is shut out.
Service pages, applications and information sites for a wide public audience. Content is written plainly, the templates work on old phones and slow connections, and accessibility is checked continuously rather than at the end.
Process
Discover
A working session on Eastern Time to agree the problem, the audience and the constraints. You get a written scope, a plan for the first release and a named person accountable for the work.
Design
Wireframes then interface design, reviewed in short calls in your afternoon. We test colour contrast, focus order and reading level while the screens are still cheap to change.
Build
One accountable team, a working demo every week in your browser, and a shared board you can read at any hour. Feedback goes straight into the next build rather than into a queue.
Launch
Accessibility and privacy checks, analytics and search setup, then release into hosting accounts that belong to you. We are on the call during the switch, in your time zone.
Grow
SEO and content, paid search and social, email, analytics and CRO after launch, with monthly reporting that says plainly what changed and what we intend to try next.
FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we have been building software there since 2014. Hartford clients are served remotely with video calls scheduled in Eastern Time, and we travel to Connecticut when a workshop, a launch or an on-site review genuinely helps the project.
It works in your favour more often than not. Our morning covers the middle of your working day, so there is a solid shared window for calls and decisions, and work continues on the west coast after your team has finished. We agree a standing meeting slot inside that overlap during the first week.
We can build the product side of it: consent handling, clear privacy notices, records of what is collected and where it goes, and a working process for data subject requests. We are developers, not lawyers, so your counsel confirms the legal position and we implement what they decide.
In whichever region you choose, and for most Hartford clients that is a United States region. We agree the location before the build starts and keep the database, file storage, backups and logs there. The hosting accounts are opened in your name and stay yours.
Yes. We build proper multilingual pages rather than machine translation over the top: separate URLs, correct language markup, translated navigation, forms and error messages, and a content model your editors can update. We also work in English and French when that is what a client needs.
Every engagement is scoped, so there is no useful number to quote before we understand what you need. Tell us the problem, the audience and any deadline you are working towards, and we will come back with an approach, a plan for the first release and a written quote. Request a quote to start.
