Sydney, in short

Yes, OlDevs works with Sydney businesses, delivering remotely from our Vancouver studio and travelling to New South Wales when a project genuinely benefits from time on the ground.Sydney sits eighteen hours ahead of Vancouver, so your morning lines up with our afternoon on the previous day, and the standing call goes there. Services run from web and mobile development through full-stack and AI work to performance marketing.

Built for New South Wales

What Sydney projects need us to get right.

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

01

The Privacy Act 1988 and the APPs

Sydney projects are built with the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles in view, enforced by the OAIC. We keep collection to what a feature needs, record where data travels, and make access, correction and deletion routes part of the product.

02

Accessibility past the minimum

Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations sit behind Australian digital work, and government services follow WCAG 2.1 AA. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA, which covers that and more: keyboard paths, contrast, visible focus, target sizes and screen reader testing before release.

03

A highly multilingual audience

Sydney is an English speaking city with a highly multilingual population. We write plainly, mark languages correctly for assistive technology, and keep content separate from layout so extra languages slot in later. Bilingual EN/FR is available if you need it.

04

Hosting close to your users

Distance from Vancouver is real, so we serve Sydney traffic from Australian cloud regions or an edge network. Where residency matters, production and backups stay in Australian regions and every processor is written down for review before launch.

Sectors

Who we work with in Sydney.

Financial services

Lenders, insurers and advisers need onboarding that people finish, portals that hold up under scrutiny and reporting that reads clearly. We design the permission model first, then build interfaces that make careful data handling feel easy.

Technology and startups

Founders need to ship without hiring a full team. We take a product from wireframe to launched app, hand over clean code you own outright, and keep a working demo running every week so investors and users can see progress.

Property and construction

Developers and builders need listing sites, project portals and site tools that survive a phone in bright sun. We build fast, accessible interfaces and connect them to the scheduling and document systems your crews already use.

Tourism

Operators need booking flows that hold under a peak season rush and pages that load for visitors on roaming data. Every step of the journey is instrumented, so you can see exactly where a booking is abandoned and fix that screen first.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Sydney.

  1. Discover

    We hold discovery calls in your morning, which is our previous afternoon, review the current systems and traffic, then put the outcomes in writing before anything is planned.

  2. Design

    Wireframes first, then designed screens you open in a browser and mark up. Accessibility, content and data decisions are made here so nothing has to be unpicked during the build.

  3. Build

    One accountable team builds it and posts a working demo every week on a private link, so a full day of time difference never leaves Sydney guessing what happened.

  4. Launch

    Device testing, WCAG 2.2 AA checks, analytics and consent, then release to Australian hosting or an edge network so pages load quickly in Sydney, with rollback ready.

  5. Grow

    We stay on after launch for search, paid media, lifecycle email and CRO, releasing small improvements you approve. Code, designs, accounts and IP belong to you.

FAQ

Sydney — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs is a Vancouver studio, with no office or staff in Sydney. Australian projects are delivered remotely, with a standing call in your morning and written updates around it, and we travel to New South Wales when a workshop, a launch or on-site research is worth the trip.

Sydney is eighteen hours ahead of Vancouver, so the overlap is genuinely narrow: your morning, roughly 8am to 11am, is our afternoon the day before. We book live calls only in that window and handle everything else in writing, with a working demo landing every week.

We can host in Australian cloud regions, keeping production and backups in country, and we document every third party service that touches personal data before launch. Whether the Privacy Act 1988 requires that of your organisation is a decision for your own advisers.

We build to WCAG 2.2 AA on every project, test keyboard use, contrast and screen readers, and record the results for you. Australian government services follow WCAG 2.1 AA and Disability Discrimination Act 1992 obligations sit in the background, so 2.2 AA leaves headroom.

That is a design constraint, not an afterthought. We serve Sydney traffic from Australian regions or an edge network, keep page weight down, and test on real devices over mobile connections rather than trusting a score measured in another hemisphere.
