What Robim does

Robim is a privately held Canadian IT services firm founded in 2016 that delivers custom website design and development, mobile app development (iOS, Android, Facebook), web hosting, QA testing, maintenance, and IT consulting to small and medium-sized businesses. The company's core technology stack is centered on PHP, WordPress, jQuery, and responsive web design, with integration capabilities spanning payment processors (PayPal, Stripe, Authorize.net, Square, FirstData, Webmoney, Yandex.Money), CRM (HubSpot), and cloud/mapping services (Google Cloud, Google Maps). It operates as a horizontal SMB-focused agency rather than a vertical specialist, serving clients across transportation, property management, accounting, retail, and creative services with a portfolio of 23 clients and 34 completed projects over its operating history.

The business model is predominantly project-based, monetized through one-time fees for custom website builds with an entry-level standardized package priced at $490, supplemented by recurring hosting fees (with a 5% discount for annual prepayment) and professional services for ongoing QA, support, and consulting. Go-to-market is direct-to-consumer via the robim.ca website, blog content (IT Notes.Blog), and organic social channels (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest), with on-site service delivery in Nova Scotia and remote service delivery across North America and Europe. The company is small, with 1-10 employees, and operates without disclosed institutional funding, making it a founder-owned, lifestyle-scale agency.
