Websites, stores and apps for Canadian businesses, at a fixed price.
A senior team that has shipped websites since 2011, with a written scope, a fixed price and calls planned in your time zone.
The Dev Studio works with businesses across Canada, from Toronto, Vancouver and Montreal to Calgary, Ottawa, Edmonton, Winnipeg and Halifax. We design and build websites and Shopify stores, run SEO and paid ads, and build mobile apps.
Canadian customers expect prices in Canadian dollars, Interac at checkout and marketing emails they actually agreed to. We build with CASL and privacy rules in mind and can add a French version for customers in Quebec.

Doing business online in Canada
- Sales tax
- The federal GST is 5%. Some provinces use a combined HST (13% in Ontario, for example) and others add their own provincial sales tax, so stores need tax rules by province.
- Privacy and marketing rules
- PIPEDA is the federal privacy law, with stricter rules in Quebec under Law 25. Canada's anti-spam law (CASL) covers commercial emails and texts: get consent, identify yourself and include an unsubscribe link.
- Online payments
- Cards, Interac, Apple Pay and Google Pay, PayPal, and instalments with Affirm, Klarna or Afterpay.
- What customers expect to see
- Prices in CAD, shipping by province, and an accessible site (Ontario's AODA sets web accessibility duties for many organisations). Businesses serving Quebec are expected to offer French.
