I had a conversation with the "owner" Jeff Bergman, who became offended and belligerent when asked…read moreabout his fee for services. I have spoken to many different marketing agencies absent conflict. Mr. Bergman was the most extreme and outrageous example of non professionalism I have ever seen. I would advise extreme caution if you are thinking of hiring this agency. As a lawyer, we are inundated with marketing agencies promoting results to take your money and proffer excuses, given the attitude and non-professionalism at this company; I believe that is the likely outcome of any engagement. I can't emphasize the rudeness and lack of professionalism at this company. This is obviously indicative of their corporate ethos.

After having a very traumatic experience with another website developer (who ran over a month past…read morethe deadline, made it impossible for me to change myself without knowing CSS code, and my website still had several major compatibility issues after he finished), I was nervous about hiring another website developer to fix all of the problems that the first guy created. I was so lucky to have found Jeff at Attorney Sync. Jeff's partner, Gyi, gave a presentation at my legal incubator program. From what I gathered from the presentation, Attorney Sync, seemed to be primarily focused on high end websites for big personal injury law firms that can pay for expensive websites. I didn't consider them to fix my website because I thought I couldn't afford them, as a solo practice attorney just starting out. I had such a hard time finding someone and because I kept asking Gyi questions about how to fix it myself, he introduced me to Jeff. Jeff was such a life saver. Not only did he fix my website, he redid the whole thing, which was not in the contract. He gave me a premium theme and kept everything very affordable, at a flat fee, which was hard to find. Jeff was very pleasant to work with and patient; I had quite a few unexpected matters arise that delayed my response time, but that never annoyed Jeff. He answered all of my questions and was not upset when I asked for small additional adjustments not in our original agreement, unlike my last website developer. My first developer was in Normal, IL, so everything was done electronically by e-mail. Although Jeff and I communicated primarily by e-mail, Jeff had me come to their office twice to discuss the website. It was nice to have this face to face interactions because some things are easier to communicate in person, especially when it is visual and takes a lot of typing to describe, versus just pointing. Jeff was also very receptive to my ideas and unexpected changes along the way, which I immensely appreciated. He also made the website accessible for people with visual impairments, which was important for me since I'm practicing disability law and have a physical disability myself. I am incredibly happy with Jeff's finished product. He was willing to make the small changes I wanted and taught me how to make the changes to my contact information I may need to update in the future, in a manner in which I could easily understand (no coding needed). I haven't had problems with the website since it was finished. I would definitely recommend Jeff and will use him again. I would encourage all different attorneys and even non-attorneys to consider using Attorney Sync for their website needs, especially since Jeff and Gyi provide individually tailored services at different price ranges and pricing options. I know that they moved to another office, so I'm not sure about the wheelchair accessibility, but I think Jeff said it was accessible.

Enkode's immediate response was passion for our product and helping us ideate about the product. They were trying to figure out a way to make this idea work, not just listening to what we had to say.

My husband and I used Blueshoon to build our company website for The Play Cafe, a Chicagoland…read morein-home entertainment service for kids. This is the first time we have built a website--or started a business--so the confidence and direction that Blueshoon brought to our project were so helpful. In short, The Play Cafe worked with a separate graphic design group to originate a brand, color scheme, and general design. We then came to Blueshoon to transition all of those ideas to a clear, clean website design that would be easy to navigate. Check out our finished product, which embodies everything we asked for (theplaycafechicago.com). One huge reason I liked working with Blueshoon is that they helped me to be self-sufficient in web maintenance. They took the time to go over the inner workings of the site, so I know how to edit or update text and add certain features which we will be ready for in the future. As we know, teaching a man to fish will help him get a lot further in life! Blueshoon took the time to make sure we were set well beyond our meetings together.

Blueshoon has helped my web marketing firm out of many different and tough situations over the last…read more3 years that I have been working with them. I actually have a Chicago office and another one in Los Angeles. As it turned out, one day I was in the Chicago area and had a very high stakes MYSQL coding problem that crippled a major part of my business. My core staff being back in LA was unable to solve the problem. A friend of mine had referred me to Blueshoon after hours and they responded. Not only did they solve the problem, they made my server and sites run better than they did before the problem. Following that time, I have sub-contracted many projects to them from graphic design, to web applications, and even moved all of my hosting needs over to them. They are able to help me with my sites and server problems better than any hosting solution even if it is managed because they are familiar with my work details. The other thing I want to point out is they are OUTSTANDING when it comes to working on billing solutions for sites in e-commerce. They really are able to do a lot for you. They have installed analytic tracking and even mined data for me to tell me how to get my conversions across many different projects I have brought them into higher. They have been able to cut through multiple layers of business issues from tech to marketing. A very big reason to consider this group is that they have a very strong number of abilities from creating a site, web apps, design, coding functions, to user experience and even the marketing. I really like that they bridge marketing with technology and can do all of the data extraction as well as problem solving. They communicate very well with tech and marketing people and understand how to bridge the gap between the how (technology) and the why (marketing). You won't find a more able group of people who can cover the spread of needs you would have in the digital space better than Blueshoon. They are a tremendous value and can really do it all. I have yet to throw a complex problem at them that they have not had an answer for. Just amazing work from this crew and I cannot possibly endorse them in a way that does them any justice!

Where do I begin... Mike Keller web solutions are the upmost professionals…read more We needed a new website bad. Our business is over 30 years old, and our website looked and felt like it was around at the invent of the Internet. After multiple calls to large website developers, pitching there cookie cutter websites... I was so happy to get a hold of these guys. I set up a meeting with them, they actually listened to what I want, and delivered on their promise. They made a website which is professional, works amazing on mobile, and does what I wanted it to. As a bonus, there monthly subscription to updates and SEO has been huge for our organic search. We went from page 15 to being in the top two consistently... We are working on, and I think we will get to be, number one in the city of Chicago. Long story short - you need a customized website that works great with amazing follow up, give these guys a call, just like me you will be happy you did!

Let me start my review by saying unfortunately I never got the chance to work with design and…read morepromote. I was looking for a company to design a new website for me. These guys had an impressive site and showed up #1 on google so figured they must be good at SEO. I had an initial consultation with an account manager and was very impressed with them as a company, their process and with the account manager and her knowledge as well. I've talked to quite a few web design firms and this was the one I was planning on going with. I had a call on a Friday morning and was told I would get a quote the following Tuesday. Tuesday came and went. I waited a week before contacting them and was told sorry they will get a quote out right away. I must have followed up with them another 3-4 times and continually was told sorry we'll get one over to you. It's been about a month and never got the quote. This leads me to one of two conclusions. They are either really bad at customer service or my budget of 5k-7k wasn't worth their time. I've come to learn these many of these smaller boutique firms won't touch a build for under 20k. If thats the case thats fine but at least have the courtesy to tell me that. I was disapointed as after my consultation I was thoroughly impressd and was planning on using this company over the dozen or so others I spoke with but unfortunately was never able to get a quote. I know many people are bad at follow up once they have your money but if this is the customer service I get when you are trying to earn my business I can only imagine how bad it is once you have my money.

I met Becky Davis at a seminar explaining the many capabilities of WordPress as a website platform…read more My business partners and I wanted to be able to make changes to our website by ourselves (without having to contact our webmaster to make these changes), and yet wanted to have a very clean and professional looking site (i.e. no Mickey Mouse site!) After the seminar, I immediately got in contact with Becky to see how she could help us achieve our new website goals. She is a great communicator and set realistic expectations for our project. She met with me a few times to go over our project plan, look and design, and really listened to what we wanted and how we wanted our site to look. Becky took our vision and turned it into a beautiful, clear, and easy to navigate website. See for yourself! www.105f.com What's more, Becky also met with me to teach me how I can make changes to the site myself. It's one thing to build a website that can easily be updated, but the education piece was an invaluable tool. I feel like I can confidently update our site so that it looks like a "professional" did it. Becky always kept her word and met the deadlines that we set in place. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and will continue to use her services to further enhance our site in the future. I highly recommend Becky if you are looking for someone to build (or rebuild) your site in a timely, professional and simple manner. Thank you Becky!
