Yes, OlDevs takes on Sherbrooke projects.The studio is in Vancouver and the engagement runs remotely, with visits when a workshop or a launch is easier in person. Sherbrooke keeps Eastern Time, three hours ahead of us, so your early afternoon is our morning and that is when we meet. The work covers web development, web apps, Android and iOS apps, 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 Quebec
The local rules and realities we design for from the first call.
Law 25 sits on top of PIPEDA for Sherbrooke, bringing privacy-impact assessments, consent obligations, breach reporting and the right for someone to take their data with them. We build the technical parts, including consent records and self-service exports, and your advisers rule on scope.
Every OlDevs build targets WCAG 2.2 AA, alongside SGQRI 008, the accessibility standard Quebec government sites follow. Testing happens during development: keyboard navigation, focus order, colour contrast and screen-reader labels, checked on each component.
French is the primary language in Sherbrooke, and requirements under the Charter of the French Language (Bill 96) reach websites and commerce. We write French first, then add English where it earns its place, with both versions kept in step.
Databases, files and nightly backups normally sit in Canadian regions, and each vendor that processes personal data is documented before launch. Accounts are created under your organisation's name, so residency choices stay yours to change later.
Sectors
Universities, colleges and research groups need sites that serve several audiences at once and tools that handle data carefully. We design clear structure, build to WCAG 2.2 AA, and document everything for internal IT review.
Health care organisations deal with sensitive information and staff who have no time for a clumsy interface. We keep flows short, control access properly, and write French-first copy that patients can act on.
Manufacturers often run on spreadsheets that stopped scaling years ago. We replace them with web apps for scheduling, quality records and reporting, connected to the systems already in place rather than replacing everything.
Micro-electronics and technology companies sell to specialists, so the site has to carry real detail without turning into a data sheet. We build product sites, documentation portals and the custom software behind them.
Process
Discover
A first call, then a short written summary: who your Sherbrooke users are, what the current system does badly, and which release changes the most for the least effort.
Design
Wireframes and then full screens, written in French from the start rather than translated afterwards, with accessibility notes attached to each component.
Build
Development runs in weekly cycles with a demo you can click through. Feedback goes into the next cycle instead of sitting in a change request queue.
Launch
Content is loaded, redirects mapped, tracking verified, and the site or app goes live on infrastructure registered in your name, with training for your staff.
Grow
We keep a rolling backlog, watch how the product performs after launch, and meet monthly in your afternoon to decide what gets built next.
FAQ
No, and we will not pretend otherwise. OlDevs has one studio, in Vancouver, British Columbia. Sherbrooke clients are served remotely, with regular video calls, a shared backlog and a demo each week. When a project needs us on site, we book the flight.
Yes. We write and design in French from the beginning and add English where it is useful, rather than shipping a translation layer on top. Interface copy, notification emails, legal pages and metadata are all planned as French content.
Practically, it shapes the parts of the product that touch personal information: how consent is asked for, what gets logged, how a breach is reported, and how someone exports their own data. We implement those mechanics and leave the legal interpretation to your advisers.
Yes. Education and research is one of Sherbrooke's main sectors, and those projects usually involve grant timelines, data handling rules and internal IT review. We work to fixed milestones, document architecture properly, and hand over code your own staff can run.
You do. Clients own all code, designs, accounts and intellectual property from the first commit. Repositories, hosting, domain and analytics are registered to your organisation, so you can move the work elsewhere at any point without asking us for permission.
