Start the conversation
The real work is what visitors never see
Two websites can look identical and behave nothing alike. One is a brochure. The other is a system: it takes payments securely, syncs with your accounting, protects customer data, loads instantly on a phone in rural Nova Scotia, ranks in search and still works when traffic triples.
- Architecture and data: a database model that scales and stays clean.
- Integrations: payments, CRM, email, shipping, accounting and third-party APIs connected properly.
- Security: authentication, encryption, hardening, audit trails and tested backups.
- Speed and search: Core Web Vitals, structured data and technical SEO built in.
- Operations: hosting, monitoring, alerts, deployments and disaster recovery.
We do the work other studios turn down
Real-time audio, live aircraft data, remote-controlled radio hardware, courier logistics with prepaid dispatch: our portfolio is built from technically demanding systems that had to work in production.
Real-time systems
Live audio, push-to-talk, WebRTC, telemetry and instant updates without page reloads.
Payments and billing
Subscriptions, prepaid bookings, invoicing and secure checkout with Stripe and other gateways.
APIs and integrations
Connect your systems so data flows once, correctly, and manual re-entry disappears.
Cross-platform apps
Android, iPhone, Windows and Linux delivery with accounts and updates that follow the user.

Discover
We learn your business, users, systems and goals, then define what success looks like and what must be true technically.
Design
Architecture, data and interface are planned before build, so the plan is understood and the price is honest.
Build and launch
Iterative engineering with regular demonstrations, automated testing, security review and a controlled launch.
Grow and support
Hosting, monitoring, maintenance and continuous improvement, so the system keeps earning long after launch.
An honest note on investment
Professional, secure, scalable systems cost real money, and they repay it many times over. We quote each project by scope in Canadian dollars, keep every line item visible and design everything to be maintainable, so your investment keeps working as your revenue grows. If you plan to build a business turning over a million dollars a year or more, this is the foundation worth paying for.
Frequently asked questions
Are you a full-stack developer based in Nova Scotia?
Yes. CodeLuma Development Inc. is a full-stack development studio based in Nova Scotia. One team handles strategy, design, front-end and back-end engineering, integrations, hosting, security and ongoing support, so nothing is lost between vendors.
Do you work with clients outside Canada?
Absolutely. We welcome clients from every country. Projects run remotely with clear written communication, scheduled calls in your time zone where practical, and invoicing in Canadian dollars.
Why is a professional website so much more than a design?
What visitors see is the smallest part. Behind the scenes are the data model, integrations with payments and other systems, security, speed, search visibility, backups, monitoring and the automation that saves your team time. That engineering is what lets a business grow without the site breaking.
I only want a very cheap website. Can you help?
Probably not, and we would rather say so honestly. We take on complex, high-value work where quality matters. If you came for a five-hundred-dollar website, template builders and freelancers are a better fit. If you are building a business that must scale, we should talk.
How do you price projects?
Every project is scoped individually and quoted in Canadian dollars. After a discovery conversation you receive a written scope with clear line items, so you know what you are paying for and why. There are no surprise charges.
Can you take over or fix an existing website or application?
Yes. We audit what exists, stabilise it, fix what is broken and extend it, or modernise it in stages without stopping your business.
