Yes.Milan companies work with OlDevs remotely from our Vancouver studio, we fly out when a project is better served face to face, and as the city is nine hours ahead of us your late afternoon meets our early morning, which is when calls are booked. Our services span web app development, Android and iOS apps, web development, 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 Lombardy
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Milan work is governed by the EU General Data Protection Regulation and the Italian Personal Data Protection Code. We design forms, analytics and integrations to collect only what the product needs, and hand over records of what is stored, for how long and by which service.
Milan briefs are often visually ambitious, and WCAG 2.2 AA is still the working standard behind the European Accessibility Act, applying to many consumer digital services since June 2025. We keep contrast, focus states and screen reader labels intact without flattening the design.
Product copy, catalogues and support content are written in Italian for Italian customers, while English is often needed for international partners and head office reporting. We build one content model that serves both without duplicating the whole site by hand.
We can run your application, database and backups in European Union regions, Italian ones included, and keep monitoring and logs alongside them. Every service that touches customer data is listed, so a supplier review does not turn into an archaeology project.
Sectors
Fashion and design houses want imagery that carries the brand and pages that still load quickly. We build catalogues, lookbooks and commerce that stay fast under heavy photography, and mobile apps that suit a seasonal calendar.
Machinery firms in Lombardy often run on spreadsheets and legacy systems nobody wants to replace outright. We build web tools around them: configurators, parts catalogues, service portals and dashboards your technicians will actually open.
A fair compresses a year of demand into a few days. We build event sites, registration and exhibitor tools that hold up under a spike, plus companion apps for schedules and meetings, and we tune the campaigns pointing at them.
Pharmaceutical organisations need careful content approval, tight access control and clear records of who changed what. We build internal applications and public sites with those controls built in, and documentation your reviewers can follow.
Process
Discover
We start with a call at the close of your Milan day, going through objectives, users and technical constraints. What we hear becomes a written plan with scope, risks and sequence before any build.
Design
Design is shared as prototypes you can open on any device, reviewed in Italian where your customers are Italian. Comments are gathered asynchronously and resolved together in the next call.
Build
Development runs in weekly cycles with a demo at the end of each one. You see the real thing on a staging link, not a status report, and can redirect the next cycle based on it.
Launch
We deploy to your chosen European hosting, run accessibility, performance and content checks, wire up analytics and search, then go live at a time that suits Milan rather than Vancouver.
Grow
Once live we keep improving: measurement, CRO, SEO and content, paid search and social, and email. Reporting is written plainly, and every account and repository stays under your control.

FAQ
No, and we would rather say so plainly. The studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, running since 2014, and Milan clients are served remotely with video calls in your time zone and a demo every week. When a workshop, a fair or a launch is better in person, we come to Milan for it.
It works because we plan around it. Scheduled calls sit in the one shared window, late afternoon for you, first thing for us. Outside it you get demo links, recorded walkthroughs and written decisions waiting when you start your morning, and any enquiry answered within one business day.
Yes. Application servers, databases, file storage, backups and logs can all sit in EU regions, and Italian regions are available if you prefer them. We agree the region before development starts, and record which external service handles which category of data.
It can be Italian only, or Italian and English together, which is common when a Milan business reports to an international group. We build one content structure serving both languages, with translatable navigation, forms, error messages and email templates rather than a second site kept in sync by hand.
We treat WCAG 2.2 AA as a design constraint from the first sketch rather than a compromise imposed at the end. Contrast, focus states, keyboard paths and image descriptions get decided alongside typography and layout, which is how a strong looking site also works for someone using a screen reader.
You do. Clients own all code, designs, accounts and intellectual property, and repositories and hosting are set up in your name from the beginning rather than transferred later. If you ever move to another studio, everything needed to continue the work is already yours.
