Ellwood Bristol FAQ

Ellwood Bristol Inc. is an Ontario-based software company focused on building AI-first intellectual property and delivering high-quality software services. We operate from Northern Ontario, Canada, and build products that scale globally.

AI-first means we design systems assuming automation and machine assistance are core, not bolt-ons. That includes structured data, repeatable pipelines, testable outputs, and clear human review points so teams can ship faster without sacrificing correctness or UX.

We deliver web design and development, custom software and SaaS builds, AI integrations into existing systems, automation workflows, performance and accessibility improvements, and ongoing maintenance. If you want a scoped plan, start at Contact and tell us your goals and constraints.

Teams that want pragmatic delivery and long-term maintainability: founders shipping a product, businesses modernizing a web platform, and organizations that need reliable automation and integrations. If you care about accessibility, performance, and clean engineering, you will feel aligned with our process.

We start with a short discovery: goals, target users, current stack, constraints (timeline/budget/security), and success criteria. From there we propose a scope, milestones, and a delivery plan that prioritizes shipping value early while reducing technical risk.

Both. For well-defined deliverables we can quote a fixed scope with milestones. For ongoing product development, continuous improvements, or long-term support, a monthly retainer is often the most efficient path.

We work across modern web stacks and choose tooling based on the problem: component-driven front ends, API back ends, and structured data pipelines. We prioritize maintainability, performance, and a build that your team can own after handoff.

We treat accessibility defects and functional regressions as real bugs. We use code reviews, automated checks where appropriate, and pragmatic manual testing of critical flows. We also document operational basics so deployments and updates stay predictable.

Yes. We aim for practical, standards-aligned accessibility: semantic HTML, keyboard-first flows, visible focus states, readable typography, and theme-safe contrast. We also help teams fix existing accessibility issues without rewriting everything.

Yes. We focus on technical SEO foundations (metadata, crawlable structure, performance budgets, structured content), plus real-world UX factors like fast navigation, responsive layouts, and clean information architecture.

Yes. We can integrate AI features like summarization, classification, extraction, search, and workflow automation. We also help teams design guardrails: prompt/version control, evaluation, monitoring, and human review points for high-impact outputs.

Yes. We build reliable pipelines that connect systems (CRM, support, billing, content, analytics) with clear inputs/outputs and traceable runs so you can trust automation in production.

We design for least-privilege access, clear data boundaries, and safe-by-default configurations. For AI features, we strongly prefer architectures that avoid training on private customer data and support auditable retention and access controls appropriate to your needs.

Reactivid is Ellwood Bristol’s flagship product: an AI-first platform for structured video creation workflows. It is designed to help creators and teams plan, script, and produce repeatable video projects with clear handoff artifacts for editing and production.

Tchaikovsky is an Ellwood Bristol product line focused on AI-first tooling. If you want details on current availability and fit, contact us and we will share the most relevant overview for your use case.

Yes. We can design and build a modern marketing site or documentation site with a token-driven design system, strong accessibility foundations, and clean content structure for long-term growth.

Yes. We often improve performance, accessibility, SEO structure, and conversion flows incrementally. This approach reduces risk and keeps momentum while steadily lifting quality.

A production-ready build, a clear handoff (repo, deployment notes, environment/config guidance), and documentation for ongoing maintenance. When appropriate, we also deliver design tokens, reusable components, and content system guidelines.

Pricing depends on scope, risk, timeline, and the level of ongoing support. The fastest way to get a realistic number is to share your goals and constraints via Contact and we will propose a plan with milestones.

Share: what you are building, your target users, your timeline, your current stack (if any), key constraints (budget/security/compliance), and what success looks like. Start here: Contact.
