Yes.OlDevs works with Melbourne businesses from our studio in Vancouver, British Columbia, running each engagement remotely with video calls and travelling to Melbourne when a workshop or launch calls for it. Melbourne runs 18 hours ahead of Vancouver, so our afternoon meets your next morning and we book calls inside that window. We deliver web apps, Android and iOS apps, web development, full-stack builds, AI development and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Victoria
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Every form, analytics tag and data store is designed against the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles, enforced by the OAIC. We record what is collected, why, and how long it is kept, then hand you that record. We build to the standard; your own advisers rule on it.
Melbourne organisations carry Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations, and government services follow WCAG 2.1 AA. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as our default, testing keyboard paths, visible focus, colour contrast and screen reader output before anything launches.
Melbourne is English speaking and highly multilingual, so copy, form labels and error messages are written in plain English and the interface is structured to carry more languages later without a rebuild. Bilingual English and French capability is available when a project needs it.
Where your data lives is a decision we make with you at the start rather than a default we inherit. We can deploy to Australian cloud regions to keep records in country, or elsewhere if you prefer, and you own the accounts, the code and the infrastructure.
Sectors
Melbourne finance teams need audit trails, careful handling of customer records and interfaces that survive scrutiny. We build web apps and full-stack systems with logging, role based access and documentation your compliance people can actually read.
Health and biotech groups carry sensitive records and long approval cycles. We keep data collection minimal, write down where everything is stored, and ship a working demo weekly so clinical and research staff can correct us early.
Universities, TAFEs and schools serve students on older phones and shared devices. We build fast, accessible web and mobile experiences to WCAG 2.2 AA and connect them to the enrolment, timetabling and content systems already in place.
Studios, agencies and media companies need sites and apps that show work well and load quickly. We handle the front end craft, the content model behind it, and the performance marketing that brings an audience to the work.
Process
Discover
We meet over video inside the Melbourne morning window, review your current systems and users, and write down scope, risks and success measures before any code exists.
Design
You get flows, wireframes and interface designs to react to, with accessibility checked as we go rather than at the end. Feedback comes back in writing so nothing is lost across the date line.
Build
One accountable team builds in short cycles with a working demo every week. You try it in your own browser on your own schedule, during Melbourne hours, and send notes back.
Launch
We prepare hosting in the region you chose, run accessibility and performance checks, rehearse the cutover, and stay online through your Melbourne business day for the switch.
Grow
After launch we track what people actually do, tune search and paid media, and plan the next round of work with you. You own every account, design file and line of code.
FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Melbourne work is delivered remotely with video calls booked in your time zone. We travel to Melbourne when a workshop, a launch or a research session genuinely benefits from being in the room. We would rather say that plainly than list an address we do not have.
Melbourne sits 18 hours ahead of Vancouver, so a late Vancouver afternoon is your next morning. We book live calls in that window, usually one or two a week, and move everything else through written updates, recorded demo walkthroughs and a shared task board. Most clients find progress waiting for them at the start of the day.
In Australian cloud regions if you want records kept in country, or in another region if that suits the business better. We agree it before the build starts, set it up under accounts in your name, and document the arrangement so your own advisers can review it against the Privacy Act 1988.
Web app development, Android app development, iOS app development, web development, full-stack development, AI development and performance marketing. Marketing covers SEO and content, paid search and shopping, paid social, email and lifecycle, analytics and CRO, and creative and media.
We build to WCAG 2.2 AA by default, which sits above the WCAG 2.1 AA that Australian government services follow and supports Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations. We test with a keyboard, check contrast and colour use, and run screen reader passes before launch rather than after it.
You do. Clients own all code, designs, accounts and intellectual property from the first commit, and repositories, hosting and analytics accounts sit in your name throughout. If you decide to take the work in house or to another studio, there is nothing to unpick and nothing held back.
