"I placed Davide in his position at Comet and have to say that he was a joy to work with as a candidate. Since placing him I have had a number of good reports not only about his work but also his friendly personality and professionalism in the workplace. I would not hesitate to work closely with Davide again if he were looking for a new position and, after seeing the new comet.co.uk website, would highly recommend his work."
James Burdis, Director at Hanover IT Recruitment Ltd - January 4, 2007.
"Recently I worked with Davide on a SEO project and his expert knowledge allowed us to identify a number of issues and propose solutions accordingly. As a result, the site's free traffic rose by 25%!"

"Davide Calvo has worked for Comet since early 2005. His first task at Comet was to improve the usability of both the Call Centre and store versions of the site which he achieved by designing a complete set of interfaces and suggesting some amendments to the workflow. He also did great work on the SEO of both the main site and one of our other sites; the latter showed an increase of 25% in natural search and a doubling of the number of pages indexed by Google following Davide's SEO work. In all his work he will always ensure that what he delivers is accessible. Throughout 2006 his major work for us has been on a full scale redesign of the Comet site, Davide has been integral to the success of this redesign taking on a wide ranging role encompassing design, wireframing, mark up structure, integrating his code with that of the technical team and testing. Davide's broad mix of skills allowed him to support both the design and the development team and help the overall flow of the project by bridging the gap between the technical team and the designers. Specifically he supervised 2 front end programmers during the project, prioritising and signing off their work. Davide is passionate about his work and sets himself exacting standards which in his time with us he has always achieved. He has been our sole expert on accessibility and the site is now much better optimised and more accessible than when he joined us."
Tim Woollias, General Manager (eCommerce) at Comet Group plc - September 18, 2006.
"I have worked with Davide for 18 months on the Comet website - one of the UK's top retail websites. His key strengths are formidable technical skills, a co-operative, positive and dedicated attitude, and excellent management skills. Over the last 18 months he has worked enthusiastically to vastly improve the site and has particularly been a passionate evangelist of accessibility, usability and cutting-edge design."
