"As a systems optimization consultant representing clients of all industry backgrounds I am continually seeking out quality resources to assist with projects. The need for a professional and technically strong developer in the Open Source arena led me to Jon. From the beginning Jon was thorough, trustworthy and delivered on time every time. He gave me the confidence that what we needed to do would get done. The code that he delivered was extremely solid with very few issues to resolve. He facilitated discussion and offered good suggestions and options as we moved through the project. I would recommend Jon to anyone looking for a quality system development resource."

"On behalf of the Board of Directors, the Starlight team and all of the seriously ill children and families that we serve I wanted to take a moment to say thank you for your amazing participation in and support of our first annual Starlight Children’s Foundation Art Project! Over 6000 students in 150 schools across Canada participated in this pilot program and were challenged to create a piece of original artwork that best represented the qualities of 'hope and courage'.

I am sure that you had no idea how much would be involved when you graciously agreed to donate your time and talents to create the auction website. I was so impressed with your creativity and the way you took the time to think of each opportunity you could to make the site as user friendly for me as you could. As you know from the numerous conversations we had, the back end manipulation of a website was new to me, and I am very appreciative of all the time you took to explain the process to me, and how quickly you responded to all of my questions. Your efforts resulted in the creation of a beautiful, extremely functional website for us to use. Everything from the ease of uploading the art, the bidding process to tracking payments and shipping was simplified because of the manner in which you created the site.

When a child is diagnosed with a serious illness, the day-to-day joys of childhood take a back seat to the rigors of treatment and hospitalization. For more than 20 years, Starlight Children’s Foundation Canada has been dedicated to improving the quality of life for children with chronic and life-threatening illness by providing programs that help to distract from the reality of illness. Through a variety of in-patient, out-patient and online programs, Starlight is dedicated to supporting families from initial diagnosis through the entire course of medical treatment and beyond. It is the constant goal of Starlight to bring smiles where they are needed most.

Once again thank you so much for embracing this project and making a difference. Your efforts were instrumental in making a very challenging part of this project so much easier!"

Laura Mountjoy, Executive Director, Starlight Canada

"SyDev exceeded our expectations. We gave them high level requirements which they turned into reliable systems. They significantly improved upon our initial design with easy-to-use, secure, flexible and scalable systems. Their approach is to make sure that potential problems have been identified in advance of coding. They also built the systems to provide optimal performance. We have also been very pleased with their response to the occasional issue that has arisen. We have no hesitation in highly recommending SyDev for any interactive web development work."
