Remote from Vancouver, on-site when useful Weekly working demos Reply within one business day
Yes, Richmond businesses are a regular part of our work.OlDevs runs from a Vancouver studio just across the river, so delivery is remote by default with on-site time whenever a workshop or launch benefits from it. Richmond sits in Pacific Time alongside us, which means one shared working day and no overnight waits for answers. We handle web apps, Android and iOS development, websites, 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 British Columbia
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Provincially regulated Richmond organisations work to the BC Personal Information Protection Act, and federally regulated ones work to PIPEDA. Your advisers settle which of the two you sit under; we then shape collection, consent and retention to match it and write down every field we store.
Public-sector bodies in the province prepare accessibility plans under the Accessible British Columbia Act, and WCAG 2.2 AA is the standard we hold every build to regardless of sector. Contrast, focus order, labels and screen reader behaviour are tested before launch.
Richmond has large Cantonese and Mandarin-speaking communities, so a single English page often serves only part of the audience. We plan Chinese-language versions early: character-safe typography, translated menus and metadata, and search that returns sensible results in each language.
For Richmond clients who want customer records kept close to home, we deploy into Canadian cloud regions and keep databases, uploads, backups and log data there too. The accounts are opened in your name, so nothing about the stack is locked to us.
Sectors
Ground handlers, caterers and cargo agents live on schedules and shift data. We build tools that read live flight and dispatch feeds, work on tablets airside, and keep running when a terminal loses connectivity for a while.
Warehouses and freight forwarders need visibility across orders, trailers and customs paperwork. We connect the systems you already run, add a clean tracking portal for customers, and put the numbers managers ask for on one screen.
Product teams come to us for extra engineering capacity: a web app, a companion mobile app, a machine learning feature or an AI agent inside an existing product. We work in your repository, your stack and your review process.
Multi-location operators want ordering, reservations, loyalty and menus that stay in step across every branch. We build the site and the admin behind it, then run search and paid campaigns to fill quiet hours.
Process
Discover
We map what exists today, who uses it and what is actually slow or broken, then agree scope, sequence and the risks worth planning around before any design work starts.
Design
Structure first, then screens. Richmond stakeholders review in the same working hours we keep, so feedback arrives while it is still cheap to act on and language versions are planned from the outset.
Build
Two-week rhythms with a demo you can click every single week. Everything ships to a staging site on your own hosting, so nothing about the project is trapped on our machines.
Launch
Data migration, redirects, analytics, accessibility pass and a dry run before the real thing. We pick a low-traffic window in Pacific Time and monitor the first hours with you on the line.
Grow
Once live we track behaviour and search performance, then work through a prioritised backlog: content and SEO, paid search and social, conversion testing and the next round of features.
FAQ
No, there is not. The studio is in Vancouver and we make no claim to a Richmond address or local staff. Work is delivered remotely, which for a neighbouring city means video calls, shared documents and weekly demos, plus an in-person visit when a kickoff workshop, user research session or launch is better done face to face.
Yes. We plan bilingual or trilingual sites from the structure up rather than translating at the end. That covers language switching, fonts that render Chinese characters properly, translated navigation, page titles and descriptions, and search behaviour that works in each language. You supply or approve the translations and we build around them.
Usually, yes. Richmond operations tend to have a warehouse system, a booking platform or an ERP that is not going anywhere. We integrate through APIs, scheduled exports or a middle layer where the source system is old, and we keep that connection documented so a future team can pick it up.
Wherever you need it, and for most Richmond clients that means Canadian cloud regions. We list every third-party service a project touches, including analytics and email, and note where each one holds data so you can approve the arrangement before we build. The hosting accounts are yours from the start.
Yes. Android and iOS development are two of our seven services, alongside web app development, web development, full-stack engineering, AI development and performance marketing. Plenty of Richmond projects end up as a web app for staff and a mobile app for customers or drivers, sharing one backend.
Within one business day, every time. Because Richmond is in our own time zone, that is often the same working day. The first reply comes from someone who will actually work on the project, not a sales desk, and it will normally include a few questions so the quote we write is based on real detail.
