We have worked with Bureau of Small Projects as our primary WordPress engineering partner for over three years.

Communication is structured and consistent, scoping is accurate, and the team responds quickly when issues come up. For organizations that need a dependable agency for sophisticated WordPress work, Bureau of Small Projects comes with our strong recommendation.
Web Development Review from Whit Garling, PMP
We needed a development partner that was highly capable, willing to work through ambiguity, and could handle the pressure of a fast-paced project with a large scope and extremely complicated stakeholder landscape.BSP delivered on all counts. We could not have asked for a better partner. They truly felt like an extension of our team when things got intense. Always quick to respond to fires, problem solve and offer options, and maintain poise at all times. 10/10 experience!Highly recommend this team to anyone looking for a world class development partner!

Alex Hopkins's Review Sourced from Google
We recently partnered with Motion Source to produce a new day-in-the-life and sizzle reel video for our agency, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From start to finish, they were fantastic collaborators—taking the time to truly understand our culture, our vision, and what makes us unique. The team was incredibly organized, professional, and thoughtful throughout the process, and the final videos exceeded all expectations. Michelle, in particular, was an absolute joy to work with. I can’t recommend Motion Source highly enough!
Mike Jahnke's Review Sourced from Google
We used Motion Source to shoot promotional videos for our retail store and we could tell right away, we were in good hands with Craig and his team. The production level was much more than we expected and the process was just so easy. Craig and his team are incredibly easy to work with and we'll definitely be using them again next year! Thanks for everything!

Working with TruFocus has been an amazing experience. Chris and Andy were fantastic during our recent video shoot—super professional and fun to work with, which made the whole process a breeze (even with a few interruptions by the family dogs). Jeff has been incredibly patient through several rounds of questions, indecision, and edits, ensuring every detail is perfect.Their commitment to quality and collaboration really stands out. They’re not just great at what they do—they’re genuinely great people to work with, and I’m excited to take advantage of their beautiful and flexible space in the future. TruFocus truly makes the entire process seamless and enjoyable.Can’t wait for the next project with Chris and his fantastic team!

Our company worked with Brad to create a couple of videos for internal and marketing purposes. Brad was very helpful in creating the content and responded quickly to all of my questions and requests. We are very happy with the end results.
Ben Lewis's Review Sourced from Google
Our organization was in Chicago for an event, and we needed to find a videographer quickly to join us to shoot a series of interviews with organization leaders. I'm so thankful we found Brad and BP Video! Not only was Brad responsive to our needs, but he was fast and efficient upon arriving and delivered to us the raw footage in exceptionally high quality and within a couple of days of the shoot. Next time we are in Chicago and have a video need, Brad will be the videographer I work with. I highly recommend him and BP Video!
Pete R's Review Sourced from Google
tl;dr - professional + personal = praiseworthyOur parish is part of the Diocese of Joliet restructuring plan. We were hosting a listening session where a diocesan representative would come to share information about the plan for our feedback. We wanted to livestream the session for those who couldn't attend as well as archive it to our website, so we looked for a company experienced in video productionSearching around, I found Brad at BP Video. I chose him because he was local as well as having experience producing video at a local Christian church. We had our initial meeting to walk-through and explain what we hoped to achieve, especially as this was a 1st time event for both of us. He has many ideas as though would be a challenging shoot - the speaker would be nearly fifty feet away and we'd have to shoot while remaining out of the view of the participants. Brad and his team was able to accomplish this for a very reasonable costI can't recommend Brad and his team at BP Video highly enough - in addition to their skills, they are faith-filled men. To me, this adds immeasurable value to the work they do

FMS was extremely helpful with the process of franchising my business. Even though my industry is not a typical one for franchising, they believed in my vision 100% and have walked me every step of the way since then to help whenever I've needed them. Our vision for franchising isn't rapid scaling or bulk franchisee signings, but they've been happy to go at my pace and I would highly recommend their services!
