Web design in Ottawa
Ottawa is a government town, and that reaches much further than the public service itself. Contractors, consultancies, associations and technology suppliers all end up held to public-sector standards on accessibility and bilingualism whether or not they are formally required to be — because the person evaluating them applies the standards they know.
Working with Ottawa businesses
Accessibility is table stakes
Ontario’s AODA requirements and federal procurement expectations mean WCAG compliance is judged, not assumed.
English and French, properly
A half-translated site is more damaging here than an English-only one. Both languages need equal structure and equal upkeep.
Associations and consultancies
Membership bodies, policy consultancies and technology suppliers to government — long sales cycles, credibility-led sites.
How we work with Ottawa clients
Flowzync is a remote studio — we don't have a Ottawa office, and we say so plainly rather than implying one. We cover UK business hours for calls, and everything else — design reviews, revisions, handover — happens exactly as it would with a studio down the road. It is also the honest reason our quotes compare well with a Ottawa agency.

Ottawa clients ask us this
Yes, and for Ottawa clients we treat WCAG 2.2 AA as the working baseline rather than an add-on. That means keyboard operability throughout, tested contrast ratios, correct heading and landmark structure, properly labelled forms, captions on video and real alternative text. We test with a screen reader before launch — automated scanners catch perhaps a third of what actually matters.
Separate indexable URLs for each language, hreflang so search engines serve the right version, a language switcher that keeps the visitor on the equivalent page rather than dumping them on the homepage, and a CMS where French content is edited as a first-class version rather than a field bolted onto the English. We coordinate with your translator; we do not machine-translate public copy.
Yes. Those usually need a public site and a members’ area behind it, event and conference pages, a directory, renewals connected to payment, and a way for staff who are not web specialists to publish without breaking the layout. We build the editing experience for the person who will actually use it.
No. We are a remote studio working with Canadian clients on Eastern Time, and we say so plainly.
