Ontario corporation · Canada and India

We live with the same decisions we recommend to you.

DOODLESAVE INC is a software company incorporated in Ontario, working with clients across Canada and India. We design and build websites, client portals and web applications — and, unusually for a studio our size, we run a product of our own. When we advise against something, it is usually because we have already paid for the lesson.

Where we are

A registered Ontario corporation based in Thunder Bay, invoicing and contracting under Canadian law, with delivery across both Canada and India.

How we are built

You work directly with our team. The same person stays with your project from the first call to launch, and afterwards.

How we work

Five commitments that shape every project, and the reasons behind them.

01 Nothing is held in our name

The most common complaint about web developers is being unable to leave one. Your domain, hosting, database and payment accounts are yours from the first day, and you can revoke our access whenever you choose.

02 We tell you what you do not need

Plenty of projects arrive asking for a store, a portal or an app when a five-page site would do the job. Talking a client out of a build they would regret is worth more to us than the invoice.

03 Running costs are visible and unmarked

We publish what hosting, databases and security actually cost before you commit, so the monthly bill after launch is never a surprise.

04 One person owns your project

You will not be handed between account managers or explain the same thing twice. The person who scopes the work is the person who builds it.

05 We build for the second year

Anything we make should be extensible without a rebuild. A brochure site should be able to grow a blog, a booking calendar or a login area without starting again.

Who you will work with

The same person, from the first call to launch.

Computer science background, builds as well as sells, and is the person you will deal with directly. Scoping, design decisions, the build itself and the launch all sit with one owner — so nothing is lost in a handover, because there isn't one.

Two time zones

Working hours in both markets

Overlap with both North American and Indian business hours, which is why projects in either market move at the same pace. Neither side waits a day for an answer that takes five minutes.

Technical subject matter

We speak your industry

Our work sits mostly with engineering, energy and industrial firms, so specifications, drawings and scope documents do not need translating into simpler terms before we can start.

The arrangement

It matters as much as the build.

  • Every account is registered in your company's name — domain, hosting, database, payment gateway. You are the owner on record from day one.
  • We are added as a collaborator, not as the owner — we do the work and hold no hostages. You can revoke our access at any time and lose nothing.
  • Provider bills reach you directly at cost — we do not mark up hosting or database charges, and you can see exactly what each service costs.
  • One number when something breaks — you should not have to work out whether a problem is the host, the database or the gateway. That is our job.
  • If you ever leave, everything is already yours — nothing needs to be handed over, because nothing was ever held in our name.

Not only a services business

We build our own products, too.

Doodle Save is a consumer subscription tracker, launching soon on iOS and Android. Building it meant cross-platform billing, secure accounts, a multi-currency scanning engine and privacy documentation written for two jurisdictions.

That is the reason we can be blunt about infrastructure. Our products run on the same hosting and database services we recommend, so we pay the same bills and read the same provider emails as the clients we advise.

If you are weighing up whether you need a website at all, or which kind, we are glad to have that conversation without a proposal attached. It is a better use of everyone's time than quoting for the wrong thing.
