What Washington, DC projects need us to get right.

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

01

Privacy rules that follow your sector

The District has no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute as of our last review, so what binds you depends on what you handle: HIPAA for health data, COPPA for children, GLBA for finance, CAN-SPAM for email and the FTC Act throughout. We map your data flows to those rules before we write code.

ADA, Section 508 and WCAG 2.2 AA

Public-facing sites in Washington carry ADA Title III litigation risk, federal work must meet Section 508, and the 2024 Title II rule holds government web content to WCAG 2.1 AA. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA by default, which covers all three, and we hand over conformance notes your reviewers can use.

03

English first, Spanish where it counts

Washington is an English-language market with a sizeable Spanish-speaking community. We structure content and interface strings so a Spanish version can be added without a rebuild, and our EN/FR capability means bilingual patterns are already part of how we work.

US regions and FedRAMP-aware hosting

We deploy to US cloud regions so your data stays in the country, with the Virginia region a short hop from the District. Where a federal agency or contractor needs FedRAMP-authorised cloud services, we select hosting to match and keep every account in your organisation's name.

Sectors

Who we work with in Washington, DC.

Federal government and contractors

Contractors need portals, reporting tools and internal systems that satisfy Section 508 and hosting requirements without slowing delivery. We document accessibility as we build and design AI features so that decisions stay explainable to an auditor.

Associations and non-profits

Washington holds the largest concentration of associations in the US. They typically need member portals, event and certification systems, and marketing that grows renewals. We integrate with your association management system rather than replacing it.

Law and consulting

Firms ask for secure client extranets, document workflows and natural-language tools that summarise filings or research. We build with strict access controls, keep sensitive data inside your own accounts, and pair the product with content-led marketing.

Education and international organisations

Universities and international bodies need multilingual websites, learning platforms and data dashboards that many stakeholders can read. We design for accessibility and translation from day one and set up analytics that report in plain language.

Process

Working with OlDevs from Washington, DC.

  1. Discover

    We start with a video kickoff in Eastern Time, review your goals, procurement constraints and existing systems, then return a written scope and plan you can circulate internally.

  2. Design

    Wireframes and clickable prototypes arrive in a shared workspace. We review them with you on video each week and check accessibility and content structure before any code is written.

  3. Build

    Every week you see a working demo on a staging site that your whole team can open. Feedback goes into the next week's work, and an on-site visit is arranged when a workshop needs a room.

  4. Launch

    We migrate content, harden hosting in your chosen US region, run accessibility and performance checks, then hand over code, credentials and documentation so you own everything.

  5. Grow

    After launch we can keep improving the product and run performance marketing across search, social and email, with a monthly report written for the people who fund the work.

FAQ

Washington, DC — questions we hear first.

No. OlDevs is based in Vancouver, British Columbia, and we serve Washington remotely. Video calls run in Eastern Time, you get a working demo every week, and when a workshop, launch or stakeholder session needs us in the room we travel to you. Many clients never need a visit; the option is there when it helps.

Yes. Washington is three hours ahead of Vancouver, so your noon to 17:30 is our 9:00 to 14:30. We schedule kickoffs, demos and reviews in that window and answer messages sent earlier in your morning as soon as we open. Urgent launch-day support is planned around your hours in advance.

The District has no comprehensive consumer-privacy statute as of our last review, so we work from the federal sector rules that apply to you: HIPAA, COPPA, GLBA, CAN-SPAM and the FTC Act. We map data flows early, keep consent and retention explicit in the design, and flag where your counsel should confirm a reading.

Yes. We deploy to US cloud regions by default for US clients, and Virginia is the closest major region to Washington. If your work is for a federal agency that requires FedRAMP-authorised cloud services, we choose hosting that meets the requirement and set up every account under your organisation's ownership.

Member portals and web apps for associations, accessible public websites for government contractors and non-profits, and natural-language AI tools that summarise documents for law and consulting firms. Performance marketing for membership and events is the most common follow-on engagement once the product is live.
