Built for California

What San Francisco projects need us to get right.

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

01

CCPA and CPRA compliance

California's CCPA, as amended by the CPRA, gives residents rights over how their personal information is collected, sold and shared. We build consent controls, opt-out links, access and deletion flows, and a clean data map into the product from the first sprint rather than bolting them on later.

02

ADA and Unruh Act exposure

Public-facing sites in California face ADA Title III claims and added exposure under the state's Unruh Act. Every interface we ship is built and tested to WCAG 2.2 AA, which also clears the WCAG 2.1 AA bar set by the 2024 ADA Title II rule for public bodies, and Section 508 for federal work.

03

Multilingual audiences

San Francisco serves large Cantonese, Mandarin and Spanish-speaking communities alongside English. We design layouts, forms and content structures that handle several languages cleanly, with translation-ready code and locale-aware search so nothing breaks when a second language goes live.

US hosting and data residency

We deploy to US cloud regions, typically US West for the lowest latency to the Bay Area, with a second region for backup. You hold the cloud accounts in your own name from day one, so billing, access and data stay under your control rather than ours.

Sectors

Who we work with in San Francisco.

Software and AI startups

Startups need a product that ships fast without piling up debt they cannot pay back later. We work as one accountable team alongside founders, building the web app, mobile app or model pipeline in weekly demos so investors and early users see real progress.

Financial services and fintech

Fintech products carry compliance, audit and security obligations from the first release. We build secure customer portals, transaction dashboards and AI-driven risk or fraud models with logging and access controls designed in, not added after launch.

Biotech

Research and clinical teams need data tools that scientists will actually use: sample tracking, lab dashboards, custom ML on experimental data and secure portals for partners. We keep the interfaces plain and the data pipelines documented.

Tourism

Hotels, tour operators and attractions live on bookings and search visibility. We build fast multilingual sites, booking flows that work on a phone in a crowded street, and performance marketing across search, shopping and paid social to fill the calendar.

Process

Working with OlDevs from San Francisco.

  1. Discover

    We start with a video kickoff during your Bay Area working day, then map the users, systems and constraints so the plan reflects how your organisation actually runs, not how a template assumes it does.

  2. Design

    You get wireframes and clickable prototypes to review in shared tools, with feedback sessions booked in Pacific hours. Accessibility to WCAG 2.2 AA is checked here, before a line of production code is written.

  3. Build

    Every week you see a working demo and can log into a staging environment to test the real thing. If a workshop or integration session is better done in person, we fly to San Francisco for it.

  4. Launch

    We move the product to US cloud regions in your own accounts, run final accessibility and performance checks, then hand over the code, designs, documentation and credentials. Everything is yours.

  5. Grow

    After launch we stay on for measurement, SEO and content, paid campaigns, conversion improvements and new features, with the same team that built the product answering within one business day.

FAQ

San Francisco — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we serve San Francisco clients remotely. Video calls happen in Pacific hours, which are the same as ours, and we travel for on-site workshops, launches or integration work when it genuinely helps the project. You get one accountable team either way.

Yes, and this is the easy part for Bay Area clients. San Francisco and Vancouver both run on Pacific Time, so your 9:00 is our 9:00. Meetings, demos and support requests all fall within a shared working day, and we reply to every enquiry within one business day.

We build to the CCPA as amended by the CPRA. In practice that means consent and opt-out mechanisms, honouring Do Not Sell or Share signals, data access and deletion workflows, and a clear record of what personal information the product collects and why. Your legal counsel signs off; we make the product do what they require.

Yes. We deploy to US cloud regions, usually US West for Bay Area latency, in accounts registered to your organisation. You own the cloud accounts, the code and the data from the first commit, so nothing is locked to us and you can bring in another vendor at any time.

Web app development, AI development covering generative AI, LLM integrations and custom ML, and full-stack builds for startups and fintech teams come up most often. Tourism and professional services organisations tend to ask for fast websites paired with SEO, paid search and analytics.
