Reporting and invoicing in CAD, with no local office overhead added to your cost
Do you actually need an app?
Many businesses ask for an app when a well-built, mobile-optimised website or a simple web app would do the job for a fraction of the cost and be easier to maintain. Apps make sense when you need offline access, push notifications, device features like camera or GPS, or a frequent, habitual use case. We will tell you honestly which fits your situation before recommending the more expensive option.
When an app is the right call, we plan for native iOS and Android, or a cross-platform build, based on your budget, timeline and the features you need.
What's included
Post-launch support
Updates, bug fixes and new features after the app is live.
Native and cross-platform builds
iOS, Android or both, using the approach that fits your budget and timeline.
App Store and Play Store launch
Handling the submission process, assets and store listing.
Backend and API development
The server-side systems that power the app, built to scale with usage.
Product discovery
Defining the core features and user flows before any development begins.
UI/UX design
Screens designed for how people actually use a phone, not adapted from a website.
Working with Canadian businesses
We serve Canadian businesses remotely from our Arlington, Virginia address and our Islamabad team. Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal share Eastern Time with Arlington, and we schedule calls within your business hours wherever you are, with reporting and invoicing in CAD. For Quebec, campaigns and pages are planned with French versions from the start. We don't have a Canadian office.
Mobile App Development rules in Canada
Personal data must be handled under PIPEDA, plus Quebec's Law 25, and Ontario's AODA sets accessibility requirements for many organisations.

Canadian websites often need English and French versions, and accessibility laws apply to many organisations.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office in Canada?
No. We serve Canadian businesses remotely from our offices in Islamabad, Pakistan and Arlington, Virginia (USA), with scheduled calls in your time zone, written weekly reporting and invoicing in CAD.
Why choose ZAVYANS for mobile app development?
We start by confirming an app is the right solution before building one, rather than defaulting to the most expensive option.
Can you take over an existing app?
Yes, we can review, maintain and extend apps that were built elsewhere.
Can you build bilingual English and French websites?
Yes. We build bilingual sites with proper language switching, follow WCAG accessibility, which Ontario's AODA requires of many organisations, and integrate Stripe, Moneris or PayPal with GST and HST calculated.
What do you need from me to start?
A description of the problem the app solves, your target users, and a short discovery call to confirm an app is the right approach.
What rules apply to Mobile App Development in Canada?
Personal data must be handled under PIPEDA, plus Quebec's Law 25, and Ontario's AODA sets accessibility requirements for many organisations. We plan the work with this in mind, and you approve anything customer-facing before it goes live.
Do you handle the App Store and Play Store submission?
Yes, we manage the submission process, store assets and listing for both stores.
Which countries do you work in?
We work with clients across Pakistan, the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, the UAE and Saudi Arabia.
Which cities in Canada do you work with?
Businesses anywhere in Canada, including Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal and Ottawa. Campaigns and content can be targeted to specific cities or regions.
What happens after launch?
We offer ongoing support plans for updates, bug fixes and new features as your app grows.
Should I build for iOS, Android, or both?
It depends on your users. We help decide based on your target audience and budget, and can build cross-platform to cover both from one codebase where it fits.
How long does an app take to build?
A simple MVP can take 6 to 10 weeks. More complex apps take longer, and we give a realistic timeline after the discovery stage.
