Watching src/ — optimised rebuild on save
Yes.OlDevs works with Kitchener-Waterloo businesses remotely from its Vancouver studio, with on-site visits when the work calls for it, and because Eastern Time runs three hours ahead of Pacific, your afternoon overlaps our morning for calls and demos. Services cover web app development, Android and iOS apps, web development, full-stack development, 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.
Private-sector organisations in Kitchener-Waterloo fall under PIPEDA, public bodies under FIPPA and MFIPPA, and anything touching health information under PHIPA. We map which rules apply to each data flow before design starts, then build consent, retention and access controls to match.
Under the AODA, public-sector bodies and private organisations with 50 or more employees must make public websites conform to WCAG 2.0 AA. We build every interface to WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds that requirement, and test with keyboards and screen readers before launch.
Kitchener-Waterloo clients mostly work in English, so we keep copy plain and consistent, but we still build content and interfaces so a French version can be added later without rework. Our bilingual EN/FR capability is available when a product expands across Canada.
Insurers, universities and health-adjacent products often need data to stay in Canada. We deploy to Canadian cloud regions such as Toronto or Montreal by default, document where every store and backup lives, and keep the setup in your own accounts.
Sectors
Communitech-connected startups need an MVP that survives contact with real users and investors: a web app with clean architecture, a mobile companion when it earns one, and analytics from day one. We scope tightly and ship a working demo every week.
Insurers and financial firms ask for customer portals, quoting tools and internal dashboards that handle sensitive records. We build with PIPEDA in mind, add audit trails and role-based access, and integrate with core systems rather than replacing them.
Manufacturers want production dashboards, quality tracking, quote configurators and computer vision for inspection. We start with the data you already collect, build a web app around it and add predictive models once the baseline is trustworthy.
Departments, labs and campus services need accessible websites, research portals and student-facing apps that meet AODA and FIPPA obligations. We design for WCAG 2.2 AA from the first wireframe and hand over clean documentation for in-house teams.
Process
Discover
Kickoff by video during your Eastern afternoon, which is our morning. We interview stakeholders, review existing systems and data, and return a written scope with priorities and risks.
Design
Wireframes and clickable prototypes reviewed in shared sessions inside your working hours. Accessibility, privacy obligations and Canadian hosting are settled here, not patched in later.
Build
A working demo every week from one accountable team. You get staging access from the first sprint, so anyone in Kitchener-Waterloo can test on their own devices and leave feedback directly.
Launch
We visit on site when it helps, for training or a launch day, then run the cutover, monitoring and handover. All code, designs and accounts are transferred to you with documentation.
Grow
After launch we keep improving: performance marketing, SEO and content, analytics and CRO, new features and AI automation, scheduled around your calendar with the same weekly rhythm.
FAQ
No. OlDevs is based in a single studio in Vancouver and has served clients across Canada remotely since 2014. For Kitchener-Waterloo projects we run discovery, reviews and demos by video in your hours, and we travel on site when the work calls for it, such as workshops, launch days or training.
Yes. Eastern Time is three hours ahead of Pacific, so your 12:00 to 17:30 lines up with our 9:00 to 14:30. We schedule meetings inside that window and use shared boards and staging links so progress is visible when our hours do not overlap. Urgent issues have a named contact.
We build to PIPEDA for private-sector clients, FIPPA and MFIPPA for public bodies such as universities and municipalities, and PHIPA where health information is involved. Early in discovery we map each data flow to the law that governs it and design consent, retention and access controls to match. Your own counsel signs off on policy; we make the software honour it.
Yes. We deploy to Canadian cloud regions by default and document where every database, file store and backup lives. Hosting runs in accounts you own, so residency does not depend on us. If a vendor or integration would move data outside Canada, we flag it before it is adopted.
Web app development leads, often an MVP or a customer portal, followed by AI development for manufacturers and insurers, and Android and iOS apps for products that need to live in a pocket. Performance marketing, especially SEO and content and paid search, is usually added once the product is live and needs users.
