About Us

DJ's is a web development company located in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. DJ's is partnered by two brothers, Ivan and Druggan Svetic, who have worked on programming projects together since the '80's. Early projects include developing computer simulations of lab equipment for BCIT, developing computer-based expert systems for an AI company, and developing a graphical interface for DOS that pre-dated Windows by 2 years.

DJ's was formally incorporated in 1994 to implement computer- and web-based information systems for schools and businesses. In time, the computer information systems naturally evolved into web applications and websites. Together with a network of ISP's, design firms, marketing agencies, subcontractors and friends, we have worked on several web projects over the years, ranging from the very small to the very big. We've had the pleasure to work with organizations such as the RCMP, Government of Canada departments and agencies, industry associations, manufacturers, retailers, service providers, start-ups, publishers, not-for-profits, schools, and mom & pop shops. In particular, we have many clients and years of experience in projects for the construction and trades industry. We know and understand target users on trades-related projects intimately well.

DJ's was founded on the principle that morality has an important place in business. We accept projects who's goals we support, for people and organizations that we feel comfortable working with. Many of our clients and contacts have become old friends.

Being a smaller development team means project focus is critical. Working on the right ideas for the right people at the right time is a necessity. We have a good track record in determining projects that we can help succeed. DJ's was built on the idea of lifelong clients, repeated work spanning decades, and consistent referrals. DJ's takes care of our contacts and clients, and in turn, our contacts and clients take care of us.

Smart, clean, down-to-earth web solutions with attention to detail.

What this means to us:

• Web solutions built with a clear purpose: to mix design, development, information systems, and marketing to push and focus users to do what's required.
• Web solutions that are developed with years of experience, formal training, and practicality guiding the code.
• Web solutions that are modern and based on a balance between familiarity and advancement.
• Web solutions that are clean and developed with recognized best practices and standards.
• Web solutions born out of paying close attention to detail.
• Web solutions that last and are upgradeable over several years.

We don't often say, 'that's not possible'.

Our niche is web programming that enables unique online interactions with users and data. Our energy is creating custom code that satisfies unique requests that routine "out-of-the-box" solutions and techniques cannot easily accommodate. We thrive on finding ways to make good ideas work. We challenge anyone to challenge us to plan and implement a workable solution to an abstract problem or idea.

For common web solutions, we draw upon our library of custom code and/or utilize 3rd party code from Google Cloud, AWS, and other providers.
