Built for Quebec

What Montreal projects need us to get right.

The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.

01

Law 25 and PIPEDA

Quebec's Law 25 adds privacy-impact assessments, consent, breach reporting and data-portability rights alongside PIPEDA. We design consent flows and data maps so your assessment has something concrete to review, build export and deletion features, and log incidents so reporting deadlines can be met.

Bill 96 and SGQRI 008

The Charter of the French Language (Bill 96) sets French-language requirements for websites and commerce, and Quebec government sites follow the SGQRI 008 accessibility standard. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as the working standard and structure French as the primary language, not a translation layer.

French first, bilingual by design

In Montreal French comes first and English is widely used, so products and marketing are expected in both. Our bilingual EN/FR capability covers interface copy, content, email and ads, with locale-aware forms, dates and currency, and a workflow that keeps both languages in step.

Hosting in Quebec and Canada

Major cloud providers operate regions in Montreal, so data can stay in Quebec and in Canada. We deploy there by default, in accounts you own, and document every store, backup and third-party service so your privacy-impact assessment is based on facts rather than assumptions.

Sectors

Who we work with in Montreal.

Aerospace

Aerospace suppliers need supplier portals, maintenance and inspection tools, and dashboards that bring data from production and quality systems together. We build secure bilingual web apps, integrate with existing ERP and PLM systems, and host in Canada.

AI research and startups (Mila)

Startups spun out of Montreal's AI community have the models but need the product around them: a web app, an API, a mobile client and a way to get users. We build the full stack, from generative AI and LLM integration to onboarding and performance marketing.

Gaming and visual effects

Studios ask for pipeline tools, community sites, launch campaigns and internal dashboards that hold up under crunch. We build web and mobile products with clean APIs, add AI automation where it saves artists time, and run paid social and creative for launches.

Fashion and retail

Montreal brands need bilingual e-commerce that is fast on a phone, loyalty and lookbook apps, and marketing across paid social, email and search. We build the store, connect inventory and fulfilment, and measure every campaign in your own analytics.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Montreal.

  1. Discover

    Kickoff by video in French or English during your Eastern afternoon. We interview stakeholders, review current systems and Law 25 obligations, and deliver a written scope with priorities and risks.

  2. Design

    Bilingual prototypes are reviewed live with your team. French-first content structure, accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA, consent flows and Quebec hosting are decided here, before a line of code exists.

  3. Build

    A working demo every week from one accountable team, in both languages. You get staging access from the first sprint, so Montreal colleagues can test on their own devices and comment directly.

  4. Launch

    We come to Montreal for a launch or training when it is worth being in the room. Cutover, monitoring and handover follow, with code, designs, accounts and documentation transferred to you.

  5. Grow

    After launch we keep iterating and run bilingual performance marketing across SEO and content, paid search, paid social and email, reported in your analytics on the schedule you prefer.

FAQ

Montreal — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs works from one studio in Vancouver and has served clients across Canada remotely since 2014. Montreal projects run over video in French or English during your working day, with staging links and shared boards, and we travel to Montreal for workshops, launches or training when it is useful.

Yes. Eastern Time is three hours ahead of Pacific, so your 12:00 to 17:30 is our 9:00 to 14:30, a shared window we use for calls, reviews and demos every week. Requests posted in your morning are picked up when our day starts, and urgent issues go to a named contact.

We build for Law 25 alongside PIPEDA. That means consent flows designed for clear consent, data maps and documentation that support your privacy-impact assessments, data-portability and deletion features, and incident logging that supports breach reporting. Your legal advisors set the policy; we make the product follow it.

Yes. The major cloud providers run regions in Montreal, so we can keep data in Quebec, and other Canadian regions are available as well. Infrastructure lives in accounts you own, and we document where every database, file store and backup sits and which third-party services touch personal data.

Bilingual web development and web apps lead, followed by AI development, which is no surprise given the city's research community. Android and iOS apps are common for retail, gaming and associations, and fashion and retail brands add performance marketing in French and English, particularly paid social and email.
