Yes, OlDevs serves Ottawa organisations remotely from its Vancouver studio and travels to Ottawa for on-site work when a project calls for it.Ottawa runs on Eastern Time, three hours ahead of the studio, which leaves most of your afternoon overlapping with our working day. We provide web app, web, full-stack, Android and iOS development, AI development and performance marketing, with bilingual English and French delivery.
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.
Ottawa's private companies work under PIPEDA, public bodies under FIPPA or MFIPPA, and health information under PHIPA. We treat those rules as requirements in the backlog: consent flows, retention schedules and access-request tooling are built, tested and documented alongside features.
AODA obliges public-sector bodies and private organisations with 50 or more employees to publish websites at WCAG 2.0 AA. Our standard is WCAG 2.2 AA, which exceeds the legal floor, with automated checks in the build pipeline and manual screen-reader passes before release.
Federal audiences and many national associations expect full English and French parity. We design the information architecture bilingually from the first wireframe, keep translations in structured content rather than duplicated pages, and hand over a workflow your translators can run.
Ottawa clients typically require data kept in Canada. We host in Canadian cloud regions, keep backups and logs in-country, and provide an inventory of every third-party service with its storage location, which makes security questionnaires and procurement reviews far shorter.
Sectors
Departments and agencies need bilingual, accessible web applications with clear audit trails and Canadian hosting. We build to those constraints from day one and structure delivery so it fits procurement and security review cycles.
Associations run membership portals, event registration and advocacy content in two languages. We build the portal as a web app connected to your CRM, add mobile where members need it, and run email and paid campaigns for renewals.
Ottawa technology companies come to us for product engineering capacity: full-stack web apps, iOS and Android clients, and AI features such as natural-language search or predictive analytics inside an existing platform, shipped in weekly demos.
Suppliers in this sector need internal tools and customer portals built with strict access control, logged activity and no unnecessary third-party dependencies. We design for least privilege and document every component for your security reviewers.
Process
Discover
Kickoff happens by video in your Eastern afternoon. We map users, languages, security constraints and existing systems, then return a written scope and backlog your leadership and procurement can review.
Design
We prototype in English and French together so layout problems in either language surface early. Accessibility is checked at the prototype stage, not after code, and you review each round in a shared workspace.
Build
Every week you see a working demo and can test on your own staging environment. Bilingual content, accessibility checks and security controls are part of each sprint rather than a final phase.
Launch
We run the release with monitoring in place, hand over documentation and admin training, and visit Ottawa when in-person training or a stakeholder session is worth the trip.
Grow
The same accountable team continues after launch with feature work, performance marketing in both languages and ongoing accessibility reviews. All code, accounts and designs remain yours.
FAQ
No. Our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Ottawa projects run remotely with video meetings in Eastern hours, and we travel to Ottawa for on-site sessions when they add real value, for example a stakeholder workshop at the start or staff training at launch.
Yes, comfortably. With Ottawa three hours ahead, your noon-to-evening block overlaps our morning and early afternoon, and that is where standing meetings and weekly demos go. Written updates arrive before your day starts so nothing waits on a call.
Yes. Private-sector clients in Ottawa fall under PIPEDA, public bodies under FIPPA or MFIPPA, and health information under PHIPA. We turn those obligations into concrete requirements: consent capture, data minimisation, retention, access requests and logging. Final policy wording stays with your legal or privacy office.
Yes, and for most Ottawa clients that is the default. Applications, databases, backups and logs run in Canadian cloud regions, and we supply a written inventory of every service in the stack and where it stores data for your security and procurement teams.
Bilingual, accessible web application development leads, often for member or citizen-facing portals, followed by iOS and Android apps and AI features such as document search and natural-language assistants. Associations also ask for email, paid search and analytics support around renewals and campaigns.
