Technical writer for major update of York's Computing website. "We were lucky to have David rewrite much of the content of the www.yorku.ca/computing website so that it could be better understood by our clients, many of whom are not technical. As part of a team with a diverse set of skills, David was critical to the success of the project on many dimensions, including overall understandability and a significantly improved end-user experience."

Twelve years as writer, web producer, editor and technical advisor for Sympatico online Customer Service. "Sharp Connections has always been consistent in delivering very impressive creative output. Their ideas are fresh and their dedication is comforting. They will never allow issues and roadblocks to impact their deliverables, instead they provide solutions that work. Their ideas are not dictated by existing technical limitations, instead they present several options to work around these stumbling blocks. They listen to what you have to accomplish and come back with a sound, strategic proposal that adds value to what’s on the table. My experience with Sharp Connections was exceptional, fun and surprisingly easy (start.sympatico.ca). I would definitely recommend partnering with David and his tech-savvy associates on any communications and web-related projects – they’re an excellent resource team to work with!" "Sharp Connections understands Internet users of all levels of experience. The wealth of technical knowledge and people know-how they offer gives David and his associates a well-deserved reputation in this industry. Bell Sympatico has benefited greatly from their contributions over the years to our online customer service web site" "I would like thank you guys for the hard work you have pulled in completing the web portion of this [wireless networking setup] project. This was a fairly significant task, with tight timelines. Thanks again for helping us deliver a solid website on time"

"I first met David at an organization where I did financial work, and quickly began referring him to all of my other clients. He is friendly, patient and willing to walk the non-IT savvy through detailed IT situations. He is prompt, thorough, detail-oriented and very knowledgeable. Most importantly, he takes his clients’ budgetary constraints into account when planning his service provision."

"David Sharp has been working with us for
many years on various computer projects. While our demands have often
been impatient, ill planned and numerous, he has been easy to work with,
quiet, calm, knowledgeable and accommodating.
Over the years, his deft abilities not only in
technical areas but also in interpersonal dynamics have made a great
impact on the women in our organization and made his work with us indispensable."
"We've used Sharp Connections for our IT support for several years now and are very pleased with the level of commitment David brings to his clients and their technical challenges.We are a Mac shop but also need to use Windows software. David planned and implemented the most practical solution, one that gives us the technical flexibiity we need, and minimizes the physical impact on our compact office space. Our setup includes wired and wireless networking, shared files and printers, synchronized mobile devices, and redundant backup.
We trust him with all our passwords, and he maintains our systems beautifully and gracefully. Unlike other technicians that we've used in the past, he uses plain language and has a highly collaborative attitude. His integrity is impeccable. What a pleasure he is to work with! We can rarely afford any down time in our business, but if there's trouble, David has come to our rescue to get us back up and running in record time. David has been invaluable in helping us forecast our future needs, and has helped us through several upgrade cycles to date. Sharp Connections knows the technical needs of our business and keeps us running smoothly." Aids Bereavement Project of Ontario

"I do believe we could not function half
as well without the ongoing assistance of David Sharp and Sharp Connections.
Whatever goes wrong, he can fix it."
Private client testimonials"Sharp Connections was suggested to me by a friend who has very high standards and that is what Sharp Connections is all about – HIGH STANDARDS and EXCELLENT SERVICE.
No matter how small or big the problem David can fix it. He is reliable – calls within minutes of being contacted. David will help you shop for computer equipment, and at the best prices. David is competent and truly knows the computer business. I would, and have without hesitation, recommend Sharp Connections."
"My wife and I are most grateful for the creative skill, savvy and ingenuity David Sharp has provided us in so many ways, to name only a few - resolving various computer glitches; removing unnecessary files, folders, software, etc.; explaining his objectives and methods to us as he works; and treating us with utmost courtesy. David helped us set up a home wireless connection between two quite distant rooms, taught us how to back up our files on a 'stick' and has given generously of his time over the telephone on some smaller but troublesome problems. He is not only competent, but patient and determined to find solutions .... and always does! We cannot recommend David too highly."
"I would highly recommend David Sharp to
anyone who uses a computer. Whether it's solving glitches, setting
up a router to access my office network from home, or enhancing computer
usability, David attends to all issues in a competent, efficiant and
friendly manner."
"David Sharp is an exceptional person. At
times I have trouble with my Macintosh. He is very prompt in sorting
out my problems, and leaves me feeling not the dummy I thought I was,
but a capable human being."
"Thanks for your invaluable help; you're
a great teacher. I'm glad I connected with you, and I'm looking forward
to more lessons in the future. You made me feel like I created my own
website, but without your patient expertise, I wouldn't have achieved
anything."
"Miracle worker!! Competence and availability: truly a rare
service. So many thanks to the good Doctor!"
"Sharp Connections has been for some time an invaluable resource
for me - both for general computer and Internet information and for
specific web design needs."
