Mario is a WordPress magician. From day one his impact on our business was immediate. We run a media platform with intense daily deadlines and 80+ clients to service, and we desperately needed his skill and service to continue to grow. I love Mario–because he has saved and made our company money. He’s professional, fast and I sleep well at night knowing he (via DevriX) is at the controls.

How to Manage Difficult People in Your Team
If you are a new manager or a new business leader and you are currently or constantly dealing with problematic employees or struggling over confrontations with difficult people, here are some tips to help you out.
I’ve been working with web design firms since the mid-90s. Mario’s firm DevriX is the best I have worked with by a wide margin. Their ability to customize high-performance WordPress sites is exceptional. They bring a spirit of collaboration to their work, as well as taking initiative on virtual project management. Mario has been very responsive and has really taken the time to understand our business model. Some of my best interactions with Mario have nothing to do with pending projects but with big picture issues and strategies we need to be thinking about. He’s offered us candid feedback which I find invaluable. A real pro to work with.

We hired Mario on an emergency training/consulting job for 3 weeks and he was simply superb! He was polite, punctual, responsive, and very effective in a Job with Aramco Oil. I will hire him again and will expect nothing less than the best.
