Illustrative product interface — not client data.
Yes, OlDevs serves Red Deer clients remotely from the Vancouver studio, with travel to Alberta when a project runs better in person for a few days.Red Deer is one hour ahead of us on Mountain Time, so a single hour is the only difference to plan around and calls sit comfortably inside the shared part of the day. We handle web apps, Android and iOS apps, web development, full-stack builds, AI development and performance marketing.
Key facts
Services
Seven services from one accountable team — delivered remotely in your working hours.
Built for Alberta
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Provincially regulated Red Deer companies fall under Alberta's Personal Information Protection Act, with PIPEDA applying to federally regulated organisations. We collect only what a feature uses, keep customer records apart from marketing data, and hand you documentation of both.
Alberta has no provincial web-accessibility statute, and the Accessible Canada Act applies to federally regulated bodies. We still build every Red Deer project to WCAG 2.2 AA, because it keeps you ready for federal contracts and makes the product easier for everyone.
Work here gets read by operators, buyers and crews in English, often on a phone in a truck. We write specific labels, cut the marketing filler, and keep the important number or button reachable with one thumb in bright daylight.
If your customers or your insurer expect Canadian storage, we deploy into Canadian regions and keep the database, backups and logs there. Any outside service is listed with the data it would receive, so nothing surprises you during a review.
Sectors
Service companies need job tickets, crew scheduling, safety records and equipment tracking more than another brochure page. We build those as web and mobile tools that work in the field and feed the reports your office already produces.
Producers and processors track lots, inputs, orders and traceability. We build systems that record each of those once and reuse the data everywhere else, plus customer facing sites and stores when you sell direct.
Shop floors want fewer clipboards. We connect quoting, work orders, inventory and shipping into one system, add dashboards for the people who plan, and keep the interface quick enough that nobody quietly avoids using it.
Contractors win work on speed of reply. We build sites that load quickly and turn a phone call into a booked job, then run search and paid campaigns tied to the seasons your trade actually sells in.
Process
Discover
We meet by video inside the Mountain and Pacific overlap, walk through your current tools and numbers, and agree on what the first release has to achieve for the business.
Design
Prototypes go up early so your Red Deer team can react to something real. Weekly reviews settle layout, wording and flow before a line of production code gets written.
Build
One team builds it, in weekly cycles, with a demo you open yourself. Progress stays visible, and adjusting the plan partway through is normal rather than treated as a crisis.
Launch
We check accessibility, speed, tracking and content, then release at a time that suits Alberta hours. Training runs remotely or on site in Red Deer, whichever your staff prefer.
Grow
We keep watching how the software and the campaigns perform, report in plain language, and work through a backlog you have prioritised rather than one we invented.
FAQ
No. The studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and Red Deer clients are served remotely by that team. Meetings happen over video inside our shared working hours, the work is visible in a shared space every day, and we fly to Alberta when a workshop, an install or a training day is worth doing face to face.
It barely registers. Red Deer runs an hour ahead on Mountain Time, so nine in the morning for you is eight for us, and the two working days overlap almost completely. We put standing calls in your calendar rather than ours, and messages still get a reply within one business day.
In Canada, if that is what you need. We can place the database, backups, uploaded files and logs in Canadian regions, and if a specific tool you have asked for is hosted elsewhere we tell you which data it would hold before it goes anywhere near the build.
There is no provincial web-accessibility statute in Alberta, and the Accessible Canada Act reaches federally regulated bodies rather than every business. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA regardless, since it keeps you ready if a federal contract or a public-sector buyer asks the question, and it makes the product usable for more of your customers.
Often, yes. Crews around Red Deer lose signal, so a mobile app can be built to capture work locally and sync once a connection returns, with conflict handling that will not quietly overwrite somebody's entry. We test that behaviour deliberately instead of assuming it holds.
Performance marketing sits beside the development work: SEO and content, paid search and shopping, paid social, email and lifecycle, analytics and CRO, and creative and media. Running both together means the tracking is right on day one and the pages people land on are the ones we built.
