Up against an extremely tight deadline, we needed to create a complex news and information site from scratch and Blue Fountain never disappointed--coming through on time and within budget. Their accommodating and reliable crew were always available and ready with creative solutions and graciously helpful to those of us who were not technically savvy. The best reward, of course, are the compliments about the site that we continue to receive from colleagues and visitors alike. I wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.
