Words from Friends

The following testimonials are from a few good friends whom we have had the opportunity to serve over the past decade.


I have known and worked with Jonathan Maxim for over a decade. He is a man of keen wit, a creative streak that runs to his core, and a heart to serve and regard others above himself. I still remember our first conversation, which ended with something like, “Brother, if there is any way I can serve you and your family, please let me know.” This blew me away, and I came to see that these words are a reality that he lives every day. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of working with him on a variety of projects for several organizations, including my own. His care for me, my family, and my company, his grasp of technical details, creative nuances, accounting, product development, social media, marketing communication, and user interface proved vital to the astounding success of our Kickstarter campaigns…I don’t know who you are, and I don’t know why you are reading this, but I can attest to Jon’s character, diverse skill set, ability to communicate truth, be authentic, and serve YOUR best interests—selflessly. For these reasons and many others, I give you my highest personal recommendation. You needed Jon before you went looking, and now that you found him, I recommend that you do not hesitate to take the next step.

*LAST NAME REDACTED

I have had the pleasure of working alongside Jon Maxim for over a decade. Jon brings big-picture thinking, attention-to-detail, strategic observations, and an untiring work ethic to every project he works on. He is a godly man who trusts in the finished work of Jesus Christ for his salvation and identity. He works from that reality—every single thing he does is done with excellence. He has helped me refine both the mission and operations of my website company, and he has been involved in many key decisions which have contributed to the overall growth of the business and increased the satisfaction of our many Gospel Partners around the world. I have trusted him with many things (both professionally and personally) and will continue to do so. He is a diamond in the rough and is able to serve equally well in both ministry and business contexts.

Our church needed to roll out a new website (rgcaz.org) in a short period of time. A colleague of Jon & Melissa Maxim recommended hiring them to expedite the project, and I’m so thankful he did. Their attention to us as a client was tremendous, both in fulfilling the tasks we gave them and proactively making suggestions beyond the initial scope of responsibility. Jon is not only skilled and savvy in website marketing, but he and his wife also possess an evident joy in Christ, a diligent work ethic, and a desire to advance the kingdom through his work. You can’t ask for anything more in a professional ministry relationship.

Jon Maxim is one of the best people I have ever worked with. We worked together for five years, tackling rather large website relaunches in Squarespace and Shopify. Because of his communication skills, he was able to manage and coordinate projects remotely for us locally—and everything went smoothly and flawlessly. He is very detail oriented, very determined, and knowledgeable. He helps to keep problems at bay because he thinks of things no one else would think about. During hectic moments, he brings calmness and peace. Jon is such a great person, and I think anyone would be blessed to have the chance to work with him.

I have worked closely with Jon over the last several years. Besides being a faithful friend and brother in Christ, Jon possesses talents that have made his involvement invaluable in almost everything I do. From designing, creating, writing, and editing to simply tossing ideas around, Jon always comes through. Need website help? Jon is your man. Editorial help? Look no further than Jon Maxim. Got an idea for your church, ministry, or business but are not sure how to pull it off? Get Jon on the phone. These are not just things I am recommending; these are all things I have relied on Jon for in the past and will continue to rely on him for in the future. As a church planter and para-church ministry Director, I can say with complete confidence you would be hard-pressed to find a more gifted partner than Jon Maxim and even harder pressed to find a man of better character.

The Anglican Church in North America’s Next Generation Leadership Initiative (NGLI) has been tremendously blessed by Jon and Melissa Maxim. They both bring something unique to the table. As a fairly new organization, NGLI came not knowing what all was involved with having a website but we needed a great digital footprint. Jon and Melissa helped us to create a strategic plan to get the information necessary to have a cohesive website and brand. They took the time to go the extra mile and we are so grateful for the blessing of their business. It was also so wonderful to be able to pray with our website designers. We highly recommend Jon and Melissa Maxim for your website and design needs.

I have had a working relationship with Jon for over a decade. When I decided to rebrand my company by developing a new visual style and building a new website I knew that Jon was the man for the job. He is a detail-oriented person who is able to manage large scope projects one piece at a time. He walked me through the process of developing a new brand and took care of setting up my new website. I was extremely happy with the quality of his work and plan to hire him again.

Maxims.org is a company that produces quality work with quantity results. I used them exclusively when I was church planting in Indiana because I had worked with Jon on a website while serving as a Pastor at Redeemer Community Church and was very pleased with what I saw him do. Jon and Melissa not only put out a great product, they get to know you and put out a product with excellence that displays who you are. They made my website and marketing second to none. Both pastors and church planters regularly commented on how professional my look was and it was all because of the handiwork of Jon and Melissa. I am grateful for their help when I did not even have a clue where to start. Maxims.org is Gospel-centered team with a passion for helping people share the love of God in Christ Jesus.

Having known Jon Maxim personally, now for over a decade, I have seen him work his creative magic many times on projects. Whether for a church or a business, he has always poured his heart and soul into projects. But I must say, I did not fully appreciate the scope of his talent until he agreed to help me with my new business idea… to open my bookkeeping service. Jon’s imprint can be seen all throughout Bookkeeper Buddy. From the initial brainstorming session to choose a brand name, to logo ideas, and ultimately to the creation of an awesome website which can grow with my business. Jon’s ability to see how all the pieces fit together, and what needs to be done to create continuity among the parts, has been phenomenal. It’s one thing to have an idea; it’s another to be able to pull it all together into a cohesive plan and then implement it. And Jon has done this for me. To say I highly recommend Jon would be an understatement. He is a true professional. A man gifted with creative ability who loves to serve others with his talent. And when Jon and Melissa work together as a team, look out. Each of their talents comes to the forefront and great projects get created.

To know Jonathan is to step into a human expression of our Lord’s grace. He is a patient and loving man to all no matter if the relationship be that of friend, client, co-worker, or stranger newly met. His passion and artistic bent flows into every aspect of his varied endeavors with a rich desire to share the beauty and excellence of Jesus Christ in word and deed. He is a personal friend with whom I have worked over the years in a variety of settings and capacities. In each, Jon has proven himself one of those rare assets you find yourself missing deeply when parted. When paired with his wife, Melissa, the positive impact to their clients is amplified!
