Sudbury, in short

Yes. Sudbury organisations engage OlDevs remotely from our studio in Vancouver, with travel to Ontario where being on site earns its keep.Sudbury observes Eastern Time and is three hours ahead of us, so your afternoon overlaps our morning and that is where meetings sit. We provide web development, web apps, Android and iOS apps, full-stack development, AI development and performance marketing.

Built for Ontario

What Sudbury projects need us to get right.

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

01

Privacy rules matched to the work

Depending on the organisation, a Sudbury build answers to PIPEDA, to FIPPA and MFIPPA as a public body, or to PHIPA where health information is handled. We sort each data set into the right category early, then set collection limits, role-based access, audit logging and retention to match.

02

Bilingual English and French from the start

Sudbury is served in English and has a French-speaking community, so a second language cannot be an afterthought. We plan the content model, routing and interface strings for EN and FR from day one, and our bilingual capability means French copy is written rather than machine translated.

03

AODA conformance across both languages

AODA holds public bodies and private organisations with 50 or more employees to WCAG 2.0 AA. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test both language versions, because language attributes, longer French strings and translated error messages are where bilingual sites usually break accessibility.

Canadian hosting when residency matters

For boards, funders or policies that require records to remain in Canada, we deploy to Canadian regions and document where the database, uploads, backups and logs are held, plus every third party involved. The accounts are yours, so you can inspect or move the infrastructure yourself.

Sectors

Who we work with in Sudbury.

Mining and mining technology

Mining and mining technology firms need equipment data, inspections, work orders and supplier records joined up rather than scattered. We build systems that take field and sensor input, hold up on rugged devices, and produce the reports regulators expect.

Health care and research

Health services and research groups need booking, intake, consent and study tools built with PHIPA in mind, often in English and French. We keep personal health information out of logs and links, gate access by role, and make the patient path short and clear.

Education

Schools, colleges and training organisations want applications, programme information and student portals that behave on any device and in either language. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and hand editing control to staff so routine updates never wait on a developer.

Regional services

Organisations serving the wider region need service listings, forms, notices and payments that residents can complete without phoning anyone. We simplify the flows, make them work well on phones, and publish them in English and French where that is expected.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Sudbury.

  1. Discover

    We meet by video in Eastern Time, review your current systems and content, confirm whether the build is bilingual, and agree a first release that solves something real for Sudbury users.

  2. Design

    Prototypes are reviewed in the browser in both languages where relevant, so longer French strings, layout shifts and navigation labels are settled before development starts.

  3. Build

    One accountable team builds it, with a working demo every week. You use each version yourself, and adjustments happen while they are cheap rather than after everything is wired together.

  4. Launch

    We migrate content in each language, rehearse the release, verify analytics, redirects and accessibility, then go live inside your Eastern Time day with us available around the change.

  5. Grow

    We follow how Sudbury visitors actually use the site, tidy the paths that lose people, and take on SEO and content, paid media, email or CRO work once the product is stable.

FAQ

Sudbury — questions we hear first.

No. The studio is in Vancouver, British Columbia, and has been since 2014. Sudbury projects run remotely, with video calls scheduled in Eastern Time and a working demo every week, and we travel to Ontario when a workshop, a site visit or a launch is genuinely better in person. We will never describe someone as local when they are not.

Yes. Sudbury is served in English and has a French-speaking community, and OlDevs has bilingual EN/FR capability. We set up the content model, URL structure and interface strings for two languages from the beginning, so French is a first-class version of the product rather than a translated copy bolted on later.

Meetings are booked in Eastern Time, generally between noon and five in Sudbury, which is our morning. We can start earlier in Vancouver when you need a morning slot. Between calls, everything runs asynchronously: questions and enquiries get an answer within one business day, and the weekly demo keeps progress visible.

Yes. Where residency is a requirement, we deploy to Canadian hosting regions and document exactly where the database, uploaded files, backups and logs live, including any third-party service that handles personal information. The accounts are registered to you, so nothing about that setup is locked to us.

AODA requires public-sector bodies and private organisations with 50 or more employees to meet WCAG 2.0 AA on public websites and web content. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA and test the English and French versions separately, since language attributes and translated messages are common failure points. Your legal obligations are a question for your counsel, not for us.
