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.
Most Markham businesses are governed by PIPEDA, public bodies by FIPPA and MFIPPA, and life sciences or clinic products that hold health information by PHIPA. We identify the governing law for each dataset during discovery and build consent, logging and retention accordingly.
Head offices in Markham with 50 or more employees must make public websites conform to WCAG 2.0 AA under the AODA, as must public bodies. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds the requirement, and include an accessibility report with every handover.
Markham has large Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking communities, so a customer-facing site or app may need Traditional and Simplified Chinese alongside English. We build interfaces with full localisation support, appropriate fonts and layouts, and keep translations easy to update.
Financial services and life sciences clients often require data to remain in Canada. We host in Canadian cloud regions by default, keep infrastructure in accounts you own, and list every external service that touches customer data so residency can be verified.
Sectors
Head offices need internal tools, partner portals and product marketing sites that match a global brand while working under Ontario law. We build with your existing stack and identity systems, ship demos weekly, and document everything for internal teams.
Labs, device makers and clinics ask for data capture apps, patient or participant portals and AI for analysis. We design around PHIPA and PIPEDA, keep audit trails, and validate models on your data before anything reaches a user.
Advisors, lenders and fintech teams want secure client portals, onboarding flows and dashboards with strong access control. We build to PIPEDA, host in Canada, and integrate with existing core systems and compliance processes instead of bypassing them.
Accounting, legal, engineering and consulting firms need a credible website, client intake and document workflows, and marketing that brings qualified enquiries. We combine web development with SEO, content and paid search, measured in your analytics.
Process
Discover
We begin with a video kickoff inside your Eastern afternoon, then interview the people who will use the product, review current systems and write a scope that names priorities, risks and what is out.
Design
Prototypes are reviewed live with your team, and we settle language support, accessibility and hosting before code is written. Cantonese or Mandarin versions are planned at this stage if you need them.
Build
Every week you see a working demo, not a slide. Staging access is yours from the first sprint, so colleagues in Markham can test on their own phones and desktops and comment where it matters.
Launch
When a launch or training session benefits from us being in the room, we fly in. Otherwise we run cutover remotely, monitor closely for the first weeks, and hand over code, designs and accounts.
Grow
Post-launch we keep shipping: new features, AI automation, and performance marketing across SEO, paid search, paid social and email, reported in your own analytics on a schedule you set.
FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver and we work with Markham clients remotely, which has been our model with clients across Canada since 2014. Meetings happen by video during your working day, and we come on site when a workshop, launch or training session is better done in person.
Yes. With a three-hour difference, your 12:00 to 17:30 matches our 9:00 to 14:30, which gives a long shared window every day for calls and reviews. Outside that window you can still test on staging, leave comments and expect answers first thing your next morning.
We build for PIPEDA, the law that covers most Markham businesses, and for FIPPA and MFIPPA where public bodies are involved. Life sciences and clinic products handling health information are designed for PHIPA. We map data flows to the governing law early and build the controls into the product rather than leaving them to policy alone.
Yes. Canadian cloud regions are our default for Markham clients, and we set them up in your own accounts so you control access and billing. We document where databases, files and backups live and flag any third-party service that would move data outside the country.
Web app development and AI development come up most often, from partner portals to document automation, followed by iOS and Android apps for customer-facing products. Professional services firms usually pair a new website with performance marketing, particularly SEO and content and paid search.
