Hospitals, colleges, marine trades and design studios in Providence need software that behaves under pressure. We design, build and market it from Vancouver, review on Eastern Time, and go to Rhode Island for the sessions that need everyone at one table.

Yes, Providence is a city we work with regularly.Delivery is remote from the Vancouver studio, with travel to Rhode Island when a project calls for a day together, and because Providence sits on Eastern Time, three hours ahead of Vancouver, your early afternoon lands in our morning. Our services cover web development, web apps, Android and iOS apps, 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 Rhode Island
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
The Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act has been in force since January 2026. We inventory every field a form collects, cut what is not needed, document the third parties data reaches, and leave your team a repeatable way to answer requests. How the act applies to your organisation is a question for your lawyers.
ADA Title III exposure applies to public-facing sites, and the 2024 ADA Title II rule sets WCAG 2.1 AA for state and local government content on April 2026 and April 2027 deadlines. Section 508 covers federal work. Our standard is WCAG 2.2 AA, checked by keyboard, screen reader and contrast tools.
Providence serves Spanish and Portuguese-speaking communities, so translation is a product decision, not an afterthought. We plan which journeys need a second or third language, build them as first-class pages, and keep the wording editable by people who know the community.
Where your records live is agreed at the start of the project. United States hosting regions are the usual answer for Providence clients, covering the database, uploaded files, backups and logs, and every account is created under your organisation's own billing.
Sectors
Appointment requests, service directories, staff tools and patient information that has to be readable under stress. We agree the data flows before designing, then build to WCAG 2.2 AA so the pages work for every visitor.
Program sites, applications, portfolios and student portals. Institutions and studios here care how the work looks, so we treat typography, image handling and page speed as part of the engineering rather than a coat of paint.
Boatyards, refit shops and suppliers usually need quoting, scheduling and job tracking more than they need a brochure. We build tools that work on a phone in a shed, then connect them to the accounting system already in place.
Visitors decide in seconds, so booking paths, maps and event listings have to load fast on a weak signal. We build light pages, structure the content for search and AI answers, and measure which routes actually turn into bookings.
Process
Discover
We start with a call in your early afternoon to pin down the audience, the must-haves and the deadline. You leave with a written scope and a first release you can picture.
Design
Structure first, then screens. Prototypes are shared as links you can click and comment on between calls, so reviews stay short and nobody waits three hours for an answer.
Build
The same team builds what it designed, and a working demo lands every week. Providence stakeholders can try each version in a browser rather than reading a status report about it.
Launch
We rehearse the release, run accessibility and privacy checks, wire up analytics and search, then go live into your own accounts with someone from OlDevs on the call.
Grow
After launch we take on search, content, paid media, email and conversion work, reporting monthly in plain language on what moved and which experiment comes next.
FAQ
There is not. OlDevs is a Vancouver studio, founded in 2014, and Rhode Island clients are looked after remotely. Calls run on Eastern Time, the shared board is open to you all day, and we fly out for kick-off workshops, user research or launch week when being in the room adds something.
Yes. The Rhode Island Data Transparency and Privacy Protection Act came into force in January 2026, and we handle the build side: minimal collection, clear notices, honest consent, and an internal screen your staff can use to service requests. Legal interpretation stays with your own counsel.
Yes. We pick the hosting region with you before development begins and keep the primary database, file storage, backups and logs in it. Providence clients normally choose a United States region. The accounts are registered to your organisation, so you can audit or move the hosting whenever you like.
We treat them as real pages with their own addresses and language markup, not a translation overlay. Navigation, forms, error text and metadata are all translated, and the content model lets your own staff or a translator update wording without a developer being involved.
We travel. Discovery workshops, user testing with real visitors, hardware or shop floor installs, and launch days are the usual reasons. We agree the trip in advance so it lands where it does the most good, and the rest of the engagement continues over video calls in your time zone.
You do, completely. Code, designs, hosting, analytics, ad accounts and intellectual property are yours from the start and stay yours if you take the work elsewhere. We hand over documentation with it, because a project you cannot maintain without us is not finished work.
