Bluespark

Bluespark is a creative digital agency that designs and builds large-scale web projects principally with open source tools. Put simply, it is about building software for you when nothing off the shelf fits.

Who is it for? Mostly companies with a specific process to automate. They also list Content, Open Source and Travel, so expect those to show up in the feature set. They are a small team, 11 to 50 people, which usually shapes who they work with. Small vendors mean quick answers and real influence on the roadmap, but check who covers support when someone is out.

Bluespark is based in Raleigh, North Carolina and around since 2009. Their site is bluespark.com.

Things worth asking about: portfolio relevance, who owns the code, and how they handle changes. Get the renewal terms in writing before the first invoice.

If you have worked with Bluespark, tell the next buyer what you paid and what surprised you. That is the part of this page we cannot write.
