Our History

Baytek was founded in 1994 as a custom web development company. The rest is… history.

Baytek Website circa 1994

1994

The year it all began – the very first website ever was published and Baytek was born!

Baytek Website circa 2002

2002

Ah yes, the days of Flash™ – who can forget? At this point Baytek had grown to four team members, and started to dabble in custom CMS’s.

Baytek Website circa 2004

2004

A change of website (back to HTML!), and a change of office. We moved to Wellington Street with enough space for our expanding team.

Baytek Website circa 2010

2010

This year we officially included branding in our portfolio of services, and launched the offering with another new website. At this point we had moved to a larger office next door!

Baytek Website circa 2014

2014

By now, mobile devices were starting to become ubiquitous – this meant designing all our websites responsively. We also settled into our new digs at City Centre!

Baytek Website circa 2016

2016

A change of logo and ownership – after a settlement with Beats™, we changed our logo and the management team took over the company to officially start Baytek 2.0.

Baytek Website circa 2020

2020

This year marked our transition to a remote-first company. At first as a necessity, but then as a new way of working together and with our clients.

2024

This year marks the official start of Baytek 3.0 with Marlon O’Neil taking over the reins, with the management team still all in place. Here’s to another 30 years!

Our Principles

At Baytek, we have four guiding principles that we stand by. By following these principles, no matter the project, we can fulfill our clients’ objectives and stand by the finished product.

Define

We focus on achieving our clients’ objectives by defining them from the start. Whether it’s increasing brand awareness or making a global impact, every decision aligns with your goals—because we’re here to serve our clients, not our egos.

Collaborate

Crafting successful solutions starts with collaboration. Your expertise drives the process, and we include your feedback every step of the way to create an authentic solution that truly represents you.

Detail

Creativity thrives in the details. We ensure every element is intentional, pixel-perfect, and thoughtfully executed, so you can be confident that your project is built for success and impact.

Evolve

We value long-term partnerships beyond project completion. Whether it’s ongoing website support or future initiatives, we’re committed to being here when you need us.

Careers

We are a small, fun, project-driven agency. We make an emphasis on quality over quantity when we choose our projects, and the same could be said for our employees. Our projects run the creative gamut of branding all the way to back-end development, and we like it that way.

Work Environment

We are a remote-first organization. That means the majority of our projects and meetings are conducted through Zoom & Slack. We also have space at 150 Elgin St. should anyone wish to enjoy an office environment.

Benefits Package

Employee health and wellness is a priority at Baytek and is why we offer a comprehensive benefits package.

Compensation & Perks

We offer competitive salaries and provide a bursary to cover your internet costs at home. We also encourage learning through our monthly R&D days.

Flexible Work Hours

We realize that not everyone likes to work 9 to 5. While there are certainly limits (we don’t do graveyard shifts unless there’s a deadline!), we can accommodate most schedules.

Technology

Each employee is given a Mac OS based computer with the latest design and coding tools. We also encourage open discussions on best practices and technologies.

Social Outings

We’re not a shy bunch here at Baytek, so we love to get together outside of the office (and virtually). We often organize activities such as zip-lining, golf, BBQs and pub outings.

Current Opportunities

We are always on the look out for new talent – if you think you fit our aesthetic, please send your resume and portfolio to careers@baytek.ca.
