Built for British Columbia

What Kelowna projects need us to get right.

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

01

BC PIPA and PIPEDA

Most Kelowna companies fall under BC's Personal Information Protection Act, while federally regulated ones follow PIPEDA. We design consent, retention and access-request flows to match whichever applies to you, and document them for your records.

02

Accessible British Columbia Act

Public-sector bodies in BC publish accessibility plans under the Accessible British Columbia Act. Whether you are a public body or a private firm, we build to WCAG 2.2 AA so the product works with screen readers, keyboards and low-vision settings.

English-first, ready for more

Kelowna clients work in English, so we write copy, labels and error messages in plain English from the start. If your winery, resort or clinic later needs French for visitors or federal programmes, our bilingual EN/FR capability is already in place.

Hosting in Canada

We host on Canadian cloud regions such as AWS Canada (Central) or Azure Canada Central, so your customer data stays in the country. Backups, logs and analytics are configured the same way, and the accounts are opened in your organisation's name.

Sectors

Who we work with in Kelowna.

Technology and remote-first companies

Kelowna's software firms need product engineering that keeps pace with a distributed team: web apps, APIs, mobile clients and AI features. We slot in as a second team, ship a working demo every week and hand back clean code.

Wine and agriculture

Wineries and growers ask for online shops, wine-club portals, tasting bookings and crop or inventory tools. We build the storefront and the back office together, then run search and paid campaigns to bring in the right visitors.

Tourism

Resorts, tour operators and event venues need fast booking flows, seasonal content and mobile apps that work on a lake with patchy signal. We design for speed and offline tolerance, then tune paid social and search for peak seasons.

Health care

Clinics and care providers want patient portals, intake forms and scheduling that respect BC PIPA. We build them accessible to WCAG 2.2 AA, host them in Canada and add AI automation where it saves staff time without touching clinical judgement.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Kelowna.

  1. Discover

    We start with a video kickoff during Kelowna business hours, map your goals, users and constraints, and agree a scope and plan that you sign off before design begins.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and clickable prototypes arrive in a shared workspace. You review them on your schedule and we walk through changes together on a weekly call.

  3. Build

    Every week you see a working demo and get staging access to try it yourself. If a day in the room would move things faster, we fly to Kelowna and work beside your team.

  4. Launch

    We run the go-live checklist, move the product to Canadian hosting in your name, hand over code, designs and accounts, and train your staff on what they need to run it.

  5. Grow

    After launch we keep improving with analytics, CRO and performance marketing, or step back and support your own team. Either way the product stays yours.

FAQ

Kelowna — questions we hear first.

No. Our studio is in Vancouver and we serve Kelowna remotely, with video calls, a shared workspace and weekly demos. When a project benefits from time in person, such as a kickoff workshop or a launch day, we travel to Kelowna and work from your office for as long as it is useful.

Yes, and there is nothing to adjust. Kelowna and Vancouver are both on Pacific Time, so our whole working day overlaps with yours. Calls, demos and support requests happen during your normal hours, and we reply to every enquiry within one business day.

We build for BC's Personal Information Protection Act, which covers most provincially regulated organisations, and for PIPEDA where an organisation is federally regulated. That shapes how we handle consent, data retention, access requests and vendor agreements in every project.

Yes. We deploy to Canadian cloud regions, for example AWS Canada (Central) or Azure Canada Central, and keep backups, logs and analytics in Canada too. Hosting accounts are created in your organisation's name so you hold the keys from day one.

Web app development and web development lead, followed by iOS and Android apps for tourism and wine-club audiences. Performance marketing, especially SEO, paid search and paid social for seasonal businesses, is a close third, and AI automation requests are growing across every sector.
