Yes. OlDevs takes on Kingston projects from our Vancouver studio and works remotely as standard, travelling to eastern Ontario when a workshop, training day or launch is better in person.Kingston runs on Eastern Time, three hours ahead of Vancouver, so we schedule calls in the afternoon there and the morning here. We cover web development, web apps, Android and iOS 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 Ontario
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Kingston work often touches a hospital, a university and a municipality at once, so PHIPA, FIPPA and MFIPPA can apply alongside PIPEDA. We separate systems by sensitivity, limit what each one stores, and write the data map your privacy office will ask for.
Public bodies and private organisations with 50 or more employees must bring public websites and web content to WCAG 2.0 AA under AODA. We work to WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds the requirement, and test with a keyboard, contrast tooling and a screen reader.
Kingston sites are read in English by students, patients, residents and researchers on the same day. We write for the least specialist reader, keep terminology consistent, and give staff editors a structure that stops the content drifting apart.
Research agreements and public-sector procurement often ask exactly where data lives. We can host in Canadian regions, document every processor involved, and keep the hosting and analytics accounts registered to your organisation from day one.
Sectors
Faculties, institutes and research groups need sites, portals and data tools that survive staff turnover. We build accessible interfaces, keep the content model simple enough for a coordinator to run, and document the code for whoever inherits it.
Hospital programs and clinics need patient information, intake and scheduling that treat personal health data carefully. We minimise what is collected, keep access tight, and write the handling notes your privacy office will want to review.
Municipal and provincial teams answer to accessibility rules, records requirements and residents who simply want the form to work. We design the service around the task, meet WCAG 2.2 AA, and leave clear documentation behind us.
Kingston software and hardware firms often need a product interface, a customer portal or extra engineering capacity. We work as one accountable team inside your process and hand over code your own developers can read.
Process
Discover
We map the problem with the people who live with it, over video in Eastern Time. Existing systems, stakeholders and constraints get written down, along with a scope and the risks we can see.
Design
Interfaces are prototyped in the browser and reviewed with real users wherever we can reach them. Accessibility, content and small screen behaviour are all decided at this stage.
Build
One accountable team writes the software in weekly increments, each ending with a demo you can try yourself. Code, designs and accounts are yours throughout, not at handover.
Launch
We rehearse the release, test on real devices, verify WCAG 2.2 AA, migrate content and go live on your infrastructure. Documentation and a recorded walkthrough come with it.
Grow
After launch we track usage, search performance and support requests, then agree what to build next. Some clients add AI features, others move on to marketing or a second service.
FAQ
No, and we would rather say so plainly. OlDevs operates from a single studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has done since 2014. Kingston engagements run remotely with video calls in Eastern Time, weekly demos and written updates. We travel to Kingston when a project genuinely needs people in the same room.
Kingston afternoons are our mornings, so that band holds every scheduled call and demo. Outside it, work continues in writing: decisions, questions and updates sit in the project channel where your team can pick them up first thing. Enquiries get an answer within one business day.
Yes. We can deploy applications, databases and backups to Canadian regions and provide a written list of every service that processes information, which is usually what procurement and research agreements ask for. You own the hosting accounts, so you can verify it yourself.
Yes, and we plan for it. Institutional projects come with security reviews, accessibility requirements, records rules and several approvers, so we plan for that time rather than pretending it does not exist. We supply the technical documentation your reviewers request, and we do not give legal or regulatory advice.
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds the WCAG 2.0 AA level AODA sets for public-sector organisations and private organisations with 50 or more employees. Testing covers keyboard navigation, focus order, colour contrast, form labelling and screen reader output, and we report anything still outstanding.
Often, yes. AI development is one of our seven services and covers custom ML, generative AI and LLMs, natural language, computer vision, AI automation and agents, and predictive analytics. We start with a small, measurable use case inside your existing system rather than a rebuild, and we say so when a simpler approach would do.
