Blueshoon, Inc. Review: A Web Development Partner That Gets It

Introduction

Picture this: You’ve got a web project that needs to launch yesterday. You need a team that’s not just technically skilled but also gets your vision—fast. That’s where Blueshoon, Inc. comes in.

Based in Andersonville, Chicago, Blueshoon has been crafting websites and applications since 2008. What sets them apart? They blend the excitement of new projects with the stability of long-term partnerships—some lasting five years or more. They’re problem-solvers, efficiency enthusiasts, and (thankfully) a team that keeps work fun.

But do they deliver? After working with them, here’s the real scoop.

What Blueshoon Does Right

1. Communication That Feels Like a Lifeline

From Slack to Jira to weekly check-ins, Blueshoon keeps the lines wide open. One client raved: "Me and the lead PM have an open line of communication... the team is responsive to my needs." Need to ping a dev or the CTO? No gatekeeping—just quick, clear replies.

Pro Tip: If you prefer structure, they’ll set up virtual meetings, but they’re just as sharp over email or messaging.

2. Agility That Feels Like Magic

Deadlines? Tight turnarounds? No sweat. Blueshoon’s team thrives on flexibility. One client put it best: "They can easily tackle a project in little to no time." They don’t just code—they think ahead, anticipating roadblocks before they happen.

3. Project Management That Actually Works

Jira might not be everyone’s favorite, but Blueshoon uses it effectively, breaking projects into clear phases with deadlines. Weekly syncs ensure nothing slips through the cracks. "From a project management standpoint, I don’t see how I could ask for more," shared a long-term client.

4. People Who Make the Difference

Clients gush about Blueshoon’s team—calling Roy "a unicorn" and Mari "amazing." They hire smart, adaptable problem-solvers who own projects from start to finish.

Room for a Tiny Tweak?

No team is perfect, but Blueshoon’s hiccups are minor:

• Internal timeline visibility: Some clients wished for more insight into internal processes.
• Budget awareness: One client noted a need for clearer financial guardrails on large projects.

Still, these are nitpicks in an otherwise smooth operation.

Final Verdict

Blueshoon isn’t just another dev shop. They’re the rare blend of speed, skill, and human-centric collaboration. Whether you need a one-off site or a years-long tech partnership, they adapt without missing a beat.

Best for: Businesses that want a team as invested in their success as they are—minus the corporate rigidity.
