Built for Pennsylvania

What Philadelphia projects need us to get right.

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

01

Sector privacy rules and breach notification

Pennsylvania had no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute at our last review, so a Philadelphia product answers to federal sector rules such as HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM and the FTC Act, plus the state's breach-notification law. We design minimal data collection and clear incident logging.

02

Accessibility beyond the legal minimum

Philadelphia's public-facing sites carry ADA Title III litigation risk, and the 2024 Title II rule holds state and local government content to WCAG 2.1 AA with April 2026 and April 2027 deadlines. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA as standard, so every user gets an interface that works.

03

Serving a Spanish-speaking community

Philadelphia has a sizeable Spanish-speaking community, so we plan for a second language in the content model, forms and notifications from the first sprint. Our team's bilingual capability is English and French; we give Spanish content a proper home and coordinate with your translators.

US East hosting and residency

Philadelphia clients are hosted in US East cloud regions on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, where latency to the city is low and data stays in the United States. Backups, logs and analytics are set to remain in-country, and the accounts belong to your organisation, not to us.

Sectors

Who we work with in Philadelphia.

Health care and life sciences

Hospitals, research groups and biotech firms need patient portals, trial and lab data tools, and AI that summarises or classifies clinical documents. We build with HIPAA in mind from the first wireframe, meet WCAG 2.2 AA and integrate with your systems.

Education

Universities and colleges ask for admissions and student-services portals, course tools and campus apps that meet accessibility rules. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, design for mobile first and keep content editable by your own staff so nothing waits on a developer.

Financial services

Banks, lenders and fintech firms want secure customer dashboards, onboarding flows and internal tools with clean audit trails. We build for GLBA obligations, add AI automation for document review where it saves time, and keep security reviewable by your team.

Professional services

Law, accounting and consulting firms need client portals, intake and scheduling tools, and marketing that brings in the right enquiries. We pair a fast, accessible site with SEO, paid search and analytics so partners can see where the work is coming from.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Philadelphia.

  1. Discover

    A video kickoff in Philadelphia afternoon hours, where we map users, systems, data and the sector rules that apply, then write a scope with clear deliverables and dates.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and clickable prototypes reviewed on screen share, with accessibility, language structure and content ownership agreed before any code is written.

  3. Build

    Weekly working demos on a staging environment you can open at any hour. Feedback lands in the following week's build, and we come to Philadelphia when an in-person session would help.

  4. Launch

    Go-live on US East hosting in your name, with monitoring, documentation and a handover session that leaves your team holding the code, designs, accounts and IP.

  5. Grow

    Once live, we can continue with new features, performance marketing, analytics and CRO, or model retraining, at a pace that suits your calendar and in your hours.

FAQ

Philadelphia — questions we hear first.

No, our studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia. Philadelphia clients work with us remotely through video calls in Eastern afternoon hours, a demo every week and open access to staging. When being on site would make a real difference, for a discovery workshop or a launch, we travel to Philadelphia.

Yes. Philadelphia is three hours ahead of Vancouver, so your afternoon is our morning and we share roughly five and a half working hours every day. We schedule standups, reviews and support inside that window, and we answer messages sent before your lunch on the same day.

Yes. At our last review Pennsylvania had no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute, so federal sector rules govern (HIPAA, GLBA, COPPA, CAN-SPAM, the FTC Act), together with the state's breach-notification law. We identify what applies at discovery and design logging and incident processes so you could notify quickly if you ever had to.

Yes. We host in US East cloud regions on AWS, Azure or Google Cloud, which keeps latency to Philadelphia low and data inside the United States. Backups, logs and analytics are configured to stay in-country, and accounts are opened in your organisation's name so residency is yours to verify.

Patient and student portals, secure dashboards for financial services, AI tools for document-heavy work in health care and professional services, and performance marketing for firms competing for enquiries. Mobile apps follow where staff or customers need them on the go. Each project is quoted on its own scope.
