Website Development for businesses in Ottawa
Website development is building and maintaining the code, content management and integrations behind a website. We deliver it for Canadian businesses in Ottawa, with pricing in CAD and the local rules below built into the work.
We are an SEO company first, so every site we build ships with what most development shops leave out: server-rendered pages search engines and AI crawlers can read, structured data, clean URLs and redirects, and performance budgets enforced before launch.
What's different about website development in Ottawa
The fundamentals are the same everywhere. These are the local rules and habits that change how we set the work up for Canadian businesses.
- Ontario's AODA requires organisations with 50 or more employees in the province to make public websites meet WCAG 2.0 AA.
- Canada's largest provincial economy.
- The federal government hub. The Official Languages Act requires federal institutions to communicate in English and French, so suppliers often need bilingual sites and content.
- Privacy and data handling
- PIPEDA applies federally. Quebec's Law 25 is stricter: technology that can identify, locate or profile a visitor must be off by default, which changes how analytics and ad tags are set up for Quebec traffic.
- Payments and tax
- Cards, Interac, Apple Pay and Google Pay, and PayPal. GST, HST and PST differ by province, so tax handling at checkout depends on where the customer is.
- Accessibility law
- Ontario's AODA requires WCAG 2.0 AA websites for organisations with 50 or more employees, and the Accessible Canada Act covers federally regulated sectors. We build to WCAG 2.2 AA.
- Languages and localisation
- English and French. Quebec's Charter of the French Language, strengthened by Bill 96, requires commercial websites and advertising aimed at Quebec consumers to be available in French.
- Working hours, releases and support
- India is 9.5 hours (summer) to 10.5 hours (winter) ahead of Eastern time. Your morning overlaps with our evening for calls, and work briefed at the end of your day is progressed overnight.
