Ottawa, Ontario

A small software team in Ottawa,
building things that work.

Lemonade is a small software company in Ottawa, Ontario. We build quoting, scheduling and client-portal software for auto repair shops and other local operators — and we're the same people you talk to from the first call to launch.

What we do,
and how.

We build quoting and workflow tools, portals, integrations and mobile apps at a fixed price, starting with a free workflow audit, and offer optional support plans to keep them running after launch. Most projects start with a clear quote and a working preview early on, not a long proposal.

Our websites department started out as yowdev, an Ottawa web studio. yowdev is now part of Lemonade, and yowdev.ca brings you to our Websites page.

What we actually believe

  1. 01

    You own what we build

    Once a project is paid in full, the code, design and content are yours. No lock-in, no hostage hosting.

  2. 02

    Working software, shown early

    You see real, clickable previews as we go, not a big reveal at the end. Revisions are built into every package.

  3. 03

    Prices you can plan around

    A fixed quote before we start. Bigger scope changes the number — it never turns into an hourly surprise.
