AI, Software & eCommerce, Built for
Canadian Businesses

Every project runs on a shared Slack channel with a named contact who works Canadian hours. You get working demos on a regular cadence, and we join your standups when it helps. Most clients hear back the same business day. Decisions get written into the channel rather than living in somebody's memory of a call, which matters when your own team is spread across provinces and not everybody is online at the same moment. If something needs an answer before end of day in your time zone, flag it and it moves to the front of the queue.

Yes. We staff projects to overlap with Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific hours, so whether you are in Toronto, Calgary, or Vancouver, you reach us during your workday, not the next morning. Canada spans six time zones, and the gap between Newfoundland and British Columbia is four and a half hours, which is wider than most vendors plan for. We set the overlap against the zone your team actually works in rather than a single head office clock, and if you run operations from more than one province we agree which hours are covered before the project starts.

It depends on what you are building. Smaller fixes, CRO work, or platform audits start around $3,000 to $8,000 CAD. Full Shopify or WooCommerce builds typically fall in the $15,000 to $35,000 CAD range, and enterprise Magento projects run higher. We scope it properly and give you a fixed number, with none of the starting from pricing that doubles once the work begins. Quotes are in Canadian dollars, so a project budget is not carrying exchange rate risk on top of everything else. If your number is fixed, tell us early and we will say honestly whether the scope fits inside it.

Most Shopify projects land in four to eight weeks. Magento enterprise builds usually take ten to sixteen weeks depending on what is being integrated. You get a committed delivery date in your proposal, and if it slips you hear about it from us before it happens, not after. The variable that moves a Canadian build most often is tax and shipping configuration. Getting HST, GST, and PST correct across provinces, and wiring live rates from Canada Post or Purolator, takes real testing time that generic timelines tend to leave out of the estimate.

We can usually start within 48 hours of signing. We keep the team lean enough to begin quickly when a new project fits, and in most cases a discovery call is available the same week you reach out. Starting fast is only worth anything if the groundwork exists, so before the first sprint we want repository access, a staging environment, and a named decision maker on your side. When those three are ready on day one, the 48 hour start is real. When they are not, that is usually what sets the actual start date rather than our availability.

Shopify, Shopify Plus, Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce, WordPress and WooCommerce, Next.js, React, and BigCommerce, plus AI development and automation. We also handle platform migrations and the Canadian integrations that generic builds tend to skip: Interac, Canada Post, HST, GST and PST handling, and google.ca SEO. If you sell in both official languages, that is worth settling before the theme is built rather than after, because retrofitting French into a finished storefront is always the more expensive path. We will tell you which platform genuinely fits your catalog and order volume rather than defaulting to a favorite.

Yes. We have integrated with Canada Post, Purolator, FedEx CA, NetSuite, SAP, Salesforce, Klaviyo, ShipStation, and over 100 other platforms using APIs, webhooks, and custom middleware to connect your commerce stack. The part that takes the time is rarely the connection itself. It is agreeing what should happen when two systems disagree, for example when inventory in your ERP and inventory on the storefront drift apart during a busy weekend. We define that behavior up front, build retries and logging around it, and give you a way to see what synced and what did not.

Yes, this is common. We handle the Shopify or Magento specialization while your team focuses on other priorities. We work in your GitHub repos, join your standups, and adapt to Jira, Linear, or whatever tools you already use. In practice the split that works best is by system rather than by ticket. Your developers keep the areas they know deeply, and we take the platform work that would otherwise sit in a backlog waiting for somebody to find time for it. We document as we go, so the knowledge stays with your team after the engagement ends.

Every project includes 30 days of priority support for genuine bugs and regressions at no extra charge. After that, optional monthly retainers start at $999 CAD for ongoing development, security patches, and monitoring, and you can cancel any time with no lock-in. The first month after launch is when real traffic finds the edge cases staging never did, which is exactly why that window is included rather than sold as an extra. If you would rather hand everything to an internal developer at that point, the documentation and repository access make it a clean handover.

Every build goes through code review, automated tests where applicable, and full staging sign-off before launch. We do not push straight to production. NDAs are available and signed before any sensitive detail is shared. Access is scoped per developer and revoked when the engagement ends, and credentials are stored properly rather than passed around in chat. If you handle customer data subject to PIPEDA or provincial privacy rules, say so at the start, so data flow and storage decisions get made with that in mind instead of being reviewed once the build is finished.
