After having met Ilya, the CEO of Cidersoft at an online networking peer group and having learned about the services his company provides, I decided to get my website to the next level. The team at Cidersoft evaluated my requirements and put together a comprehensive proposal for the project. The team assigned a dedicated project manager who took me through the whole process of building the list of functions to be developed to participating in the agile, sprint process. The development team was also highly flexible in taking existing requirements and adding newly requested functionality to the backlog of items to be developed. Once the site was launched, team Cider offered a support option which I agreed to for a few months. I couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Daria and the rest of the team.December 21, 2021

Overall Experience: No one in our industry has developed any kind of auction functionality - doing this without making it look cut-rate is really difficult. Cider allowed us to do this, and do it our way, and elegantly so. There were 4 key components to the project - a turnkey, auction-style e-Commerce solution, an auction house API crawler development piece, custom UI/UX design, and custom Buyer-vs.-Seller admin functionality. Cider was able to help the Kidston team get our idea from ideation, to design, to a usable clickable prototype in about 60 days. Development commenced straight after and was a highly involved, hand-holding process. We’re a premier classic car team - we’re not a software team. But Cider made us comfortable developing software, and they were fun and relatively easy to work with. We’re not afraid to do something like this again, and we’d do it again with Cider.”

Overall Experience: Cider built out an amazing WordPress website for my grocery business. The team was able to take challenging requirements and incorporate our vision into the online e-commerce store. Running a family business involves getting input from many members of the family and Tetiana was patient with all of us and was able to direct her team appropriately. Once the site was launched, the Cider Marketing team was able to help us with local SEO and online promotion which helped in getting the site higher in the Google search results. We are definitely going to refer Cider team to our friends for any and all software development needs. Thanks guys!

Overall Experience: My hockey team had a need for a site to connect all the players and families together via standard information and access to a central calendar. After a pretty extensive search, I came across Cider through a recommendation. We went through a pretty thorough Discovery phase where they identified all of my requirements and even came up with some designs for us to choose from. I must say, not having any background in web development, they made it super easy by taking me through the process and even setting up a tool where I can track the progress during development. I highly recommend Cider for their professionalism, quality, and cost.

Overall Experience: My partners and I wanted to create an e-commerce but knew nothing about what is involved and the details in creating a website. With luck on our side we discovered Cider. We reached out and Ilya responded promptly with open arms. The entire process was a huge experience for us and there was so much entailed that we would never have thought of. Team Cider walked all of us step by step on every aspect that came to mind. They gave us options and along with that were pros and cons but the ball was always in our court. Cider gave us full attention whenever we had questions weather it was day or night which showed us that they gave us their everything and genuinely wanted us to succeed. I will be frank that this project was a long and rough road with many obstacles but looking back now that we have reached the finish line, team Cider truly made it so much more sustainable and I won't be modest when I say this. Coming from not knowing a thing about e-commerce and with about a year project with/learning from Team Cider I truly feel so confident in this project that it can not fail. Thank you again Cider you made our goals happen!

Overall Experience: My company hired Cider to assist with our biggest client's career site. The team at Cider executed our designs flawlessly and in a timely manner. When you work with external web teams the process is often painstaking and long. Internal teams can be costly and break the bank. This was not the case. Cider listened and scaled to our needs. Whether you need a website, backend support, or use any one of the offerings, I recommend Cider as your first choice.

Overall Experience: Cidersoft stepped in to fix and improve our website, taking over when a previous developer dropped the ball. Cidersoft was easy to communicate with. They provided regular updates and promptly made the changes we requested. Then they taught us how to make small changes ourselves. We plan to work with them again in the future.

Overall Experience: My wife and I are so happy that we chose the Cider group to do our website redevelopment. They worked with us closely, all the way, to first understand the information on the site (no easy task) and then vastly improve the way it was presented to the public. My sense is that they are masters of all phases of software development.

Overall Experience: Ilya at Cider was a pleasure to work with. He answered my questions thoroughly and if he didn't have the answer right away, he responded within a reasonable time frame after checking with his team. I value good communication very much and got exactly what I was looking for.
