Blue Group Solutions

Please describe your company.

I run a Food Channel-type website, and I’m located in West Palm Beach, Florida.

What are your role and responsibilities?

I’m the owner.

What was your goal in working with Blue Group Solutions?

I’ve always liked cooking as a hobby, so I decided to create my own food [website].

Please describe the scope of their work.

They did everything from building the website from scratch to helping me decide what channel I want to broadcast on. They talked me through step by step on what I had to do on my end once the site was up. I talked through all of my ideas with them, and they listened to me and understood everything I wanted. They came back quickly with a plan of what they could do for me. They came back with such a clear image of what I had in mind that I was ecstatic.

They also helped me to think about SEO [search engine optimization]. I haven’t started doing that yet, but they said that when I’m ready, they’d help with that as well. They explained the SEO process to me clearly and in a way I could understand.

What was your process in selecting Blue Group Solutions with which to work?

I had Googled website design, but they all seemed pretty much the same to me. I felt like there wasn’t anything making anyone stand out. Then I came across an awards site, and it showed me all the nominations. When I got to Blue Group’s page, I saw what they had to offer. Everything looked clean and fresh. I went through their portfolio, and I saw that they were dedicated. Their portfolio showed me that they had an intuitive and artistic vision. They showed websites where they did refreshes and websites they had done from scratch. They all looked simple, clean yet functional, which is what I really wanted.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?

I’ve spent about $3,000 working with Blue Group.

When did you start working with them?

The project started in December 2014, and they finished the first week of February.

Do you have any statistics, metrics, or general feedback from the project?

The project turned out really well. Blue Group definitely captured my vision, even better than I could have imagined. The site was vibrant, colorful, and easy to use. They took the time to work with me and listen to what I wanted. I was very impressed. I felt like they were actually sitting down and taking time to get to know me, and what I wanted.

Blue Group set things up so that I could go to their website and see what they had done so far. I really like that because it made me feel like I was part of the process of creating my vision, even though they were creating it. They explained the website and worked with me every step of the way to get what I wanted, and I know that can’t be easy. I really liked the fact that communication was always open and that if I had a question I could just email and get a quick response back.

Is there anything unique about Blue Group Solutions that really makes them stand out compared to other companies?

The comfort level I felt is what sold me. I felt like I was in good hands the whole time, like I was being taken care of. They were on top of all communications and were quick to respond. Their customer reviews really sold me as well. Everyone seemed to feel comfortable around them.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

I would not change anything at all.

What advice would you give a future client of theirs?

Have faith in them because they know what they are doing.

Please describe your company.

The name of my company is South Florida Divorce Mediation.

What are your role and responsibilities?

I’m the chief executive officer and founder.

What was your goal in working with Blue Group Solutions?

My issue was just getting my name out there in the best way. I wanted a website that would make sense for my new business. I needed to incorporate a lot of things into the site, so it would attract my target audience.

Please describe the scope of their work.

Blue Group did a website for me from beginning to end. I provided relatively little information – just the basic stuff. They came up with a very impressive website that really addressed all the points that I needed to have highlighted. They did their work in a very professional way.

What was your process for selecting Blue Group Solutions with which to work?

I just asked around town. I actually had somebody do a site for me a few years back, and I had a very bad experience. So, I was very wary of finding somebody who’s good and, this time, I did a lot more research. The decision finally came down to word of mouth since several people recommended them.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?

I’ve spent maybe $1,500 to $2,000 working with the Blue Group.

When did you start working with them, and is the project completed?

I think it was two years ago that we started. The project was completed on time, but I have had to make a number of minor revisions. They’ve been very accommodating in doing that. I contact them whenever I need additions or adjustments to the site.

Do you have any statistics, metrics, or general feedback to show the success of the project?

I was immensely impressed with them. I didn’t really expect the site to be as good as it is with just the little information I gave them. They surpassed my expectations, and they did their work quickly. The turnaround time was very fast, and I was very happy with the product.

Is there anything unique about Blue Group Solutions that really makes them stand out compared to other companies?

I felt like they definitely took an interest in me. I didn’t feel like a number. I felt like they really understood my business. I was very impressed with how much knowledge Blue Group had about my business and how thoroughly they had done their research. They really took a lot of time to listen to me and understand what I needed. They provided very personal service, and I really appreciated that.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

No. I really can’t think of anything.

What advice would you give a future client of theirs?

I would highly recommend them. They’re very professional and thorough, and they do an impressive job.

Please describe your company.

We are an engineering firm located in Scottsdale, Arizona. We focus on electrical, mechanical, and plumbing services.

What are your role and responsibilities?

I’m the principal person in the company.

What was your goal in working with Blue Group Solutions?

I’ve actually used them twice. The first time was with my own electrical engineering company. I then merged with a mechanical plumbing engineer, and the new company used them again. We wanted to get more traffic to let more people know about us.

Please describe the scope of their work.

I talked with a lot of different website design companies, and it seemed that they all wanted me to provide every single piece of information for the website. If I had wanted to do that, I would have done the site myself. With Blue Group, it wasn’t like that at all. I gave them some general directions like this is what we do, this is what we want for our website and that’s it. Blue Group took care of the rest. They put the project together, and we would review their work from time to time and suggest changes, but it wasn’t like I was designing it myself. They took care of the entire thing. If you look at our website, it’s 90 percent Blue Group and 10 percent us.

What was your process for selecting Blue Group Solutions with which to work?

I originally found them through a Web search. I had interviewed a few other designers, and I actually had a contract with another designer. I was not happy with them and decided to switch to Blue Group. They asked me what we do and what we we’re looking for. They put the website together in a week, and then we made some changes to it. It was a very smooth project.

Can you provide a ballpark dollar figure for the size of the work that they’ve done for you?

We’ve spent somewhere between $1,000 and $10,000 working with Blue Group.

When did you start working with them and is the relationship ongoing?

We started working together in June 2012, and we’re still currently working with them.

Do you have any statistics, metrics, or general feedback on their services and their performance?

Blue Group designed my first website in 2012, and we went back to them for our second website because they were so great. We bid on projects and, typically, our potential clients go to our website and look to see what we do. It was important to us that the website would be easy to navigate, and that has been the feedback I am getting from our current and potential clients. They like that the site allows easy access to our information. Everyone loves it, and we got a few projects just because of that. Overall, the performance of Blue Group and the website has been great.

Is there anything unique about Blue Group Solutions that really makes them stand out compared to other companies?

The most important fact about Blue Group was that they were involved 100 percent. They understand your company and understand what you do. Instead of just giving them something vague and asking them to put the website together, they really investigate you, your company, and who you are, then put the website together around that understanding.

Looking back on the work so far, is there any area that you think they could improve upon or something that you might do differently?

No. I’m really satisfied with them.
