Websites built for Canadian rules.
Accessibility for Ontario, consent for commercial messages and French for Quebec customers are part of the build, not an afterthought.

A Toronto company that sells across Canada meets three sets of rules on one website: Ontario's accessibility law, the federal anti-spam law and, the moment it sells to Quebec, French. Each is cheaper to build in than to retrofit, so we ask about them in the first conversation.
Accessibility under AODA
Ontario's AODA expects public websites of larger organizations to meet WCAG 2.0 level AA, and the standard is a reasonable target for any site. We test keyboard use, focus order, contrast, form labels and error messages as part of the build, and we say in the handover what was checked and what was not. Whether your organization is covered is a question for your counsel.
Consent for commercial messages
CASL requires consent before a company sends commercial electronic messages, and the sender must be able to show it. Newsletter forms, WhatsApp opt-ins and any automated follow-up we build record who agreed, when and to what, and every message carries a working way out. That record lives in your admin panel where your staff can export it.
Selling into Quebec
Quebec's language law expects commercial websites that serve its consumers to be available in French. A machine-translated French page costs more in trust than it saves in time. We write the French copy with a native reviewer and set up its own address, so the English and French sites do not compete with each other in search.
Same clock as New York
The clock is New York's: seven hours behind Istanbul in summer, eight in winter. The overlap is the morning, roughly 9 to 11 a.m. Toronto time, and the table below gives the full picture.

Frequently asked questions
Does the site have to be bilingual?
Only if you sell to consumers in Quebec, or want to. We can start English-only and add French later, provided the structure leaves room for it. We build it that way by default.
Can you meet WCAG 2.0 AA?
We build to a documented checklist that covers keyboard use, focus, contrast, labels and errors, and we list what was tested. A formal audit by a third party is a separate engagement.
Do you invoice in Canadian dollars?
Currency and invoicing terms are agreed in the contract. Raise it with the first brief.
