They took into consideration what our branding requirements were and how the site needed to look, listened to specific details we wanted, troubleshoot any issues we had, and made the website design process enjoyable. Blue Compass always responded to emails in a timely fashion and took the time to talk over the phone to answer any questions we had. We are so excited to now show off our beautiful and user friendly website!”
