The Bureau Of Small Projects Reviews & Testimonials
Web Development Review from Michael Arnaldo
We have worked with Bureau of Small Projects as our primary WordPress engineering partner for over three years. They have consistently delivered on technically demanding projects and have been a reliable resource for both development work and ongoing site maintenance.What distinguishes them is the combination of technical capability and operational professionalism. 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!

Hiring Guide: How to Choose the Right Video Production Company in the US
How do I choose the best video production company for my project?
Key factors to consider when choosing a company for a project in the United States include:
- Define clear goals: Know exactly what you want the video to achieve, whether that is brand awareness, product education, lead generation, or internal training. Clear objectives help agencies recommend the right format, length, messaging, and distribution approach, which reduces rework and improves results.
- Review portfolios: Assess overall video quality, storytelling, pacing, and production value. Look specifically for industry-relevant examples to ensure the agency understands complex offerings and long sales cycles.
- Check experience and expertise: Choose video production agencies with proven experience in your sector and with the specific video types you need, such as explainers, testimonials, or training content.
- Assess communication and collaboration: Strong communication ensures feedback is clearly understood and applied during each phase of production. Responsive agencies typically deliver smoother workflows, fewer revisions, and more predictable timelines.
- Budget transparency: Confirm costs for pre-production, production, and post-production. Transparent estimates help you compare vendors accurately and avoid unexpected expenses later.
- Ask for references: Client testimonials and references provide insight into reliability, professionalism, and delivery quality. Speaking with the video production company’s past clients can confirm whether the agency consistently meets expectations and deadlines.
What should I prepare before reaching out for project quotes?
Before contacting a video production company, prepare the following:
- Target audience and personas: Be specific about who the video is for, where it will be seen, and the problem it should address. B2B buyers often review 12 or more pieces of content before making a purchase, so messaging that speaks directly to their needs and pain points is critical.
- Budget range: Prepare a realistic budget range before reaching out to video production agencies. In the U.S., corporate video projects often cost $2,500 to $25,000 or more, depending on production complexity, animation, locations, and post-production needs.
- Timeline and deadlines: Share your desired launch date, campaign timing, or internal deadlines early in the conversation. Clear timelines allow agencies to plan resources effectively and avoid production bottlenecks.
- Reference examples: Collect examples of videos you like to communicate preferred style, pacing, tone, and level of polish.
- Brand assets and guidelines: Prepare logos, fonts, color palettes, messaging frameworks, and brand guidelines in advance.
What questions should businesses ask before hiring one of these companies?
Before hiring, businesses should ask targeted questions that clarify fit, process, and risk.
Relevant Background
- Have you worked with companies in our industry or with similar goals?
- Can you share recent client references from the US market?
Services and Processes
- What is your typical process from planning to delivery?

- How many revision rounds are included, and how is feedback handled?
Related to Your Project
- Who will be assigned to our project, and what are their roles?
- What is included in the quoted price, and what could cost extra?
How involved does my team need to be during the process?
Team involvement during video production is typically milestone-based rather than continuous:
- Pre-production requires the most input, including goal alignment and approvals.
- Production involvement is usually limited to interviews or on-site participation.
- Post-production focuses on reviewing edits and providing consolidated feedback.
Most B2B projects include 1 to 3 revision rounds.
Clear direction early in the process supports delivery within a typical 4 to 8 week timeline.
How do I measure whether a video production company delivered value?
To measure whether a company delivered value, evaluate performance against business goals rather than view counts alone.
Industry research shows that 74% of companies measure video ROI using engagement metrics, while 48% rely on conversion rates to assess success.
Key benchmarks include engagement and retention metrics such as average watch time, view-through rate, and completion rate.
You should also know that each platform counts views based on different criteria. For example, YouTube counts a view only if a user has spent at least 30 seconds watching a video.
On Instagram, a watcher should engage for at least 3 seconds, on Facebook just a second is enough, while LinkedIn needs 2 seconds. TikTok counts a video as watched if you’ve spent at least 1 second watching content that’s under 3 minutes long.
Conversion metrics like click-through rates, demo requests, and sign-ups indicate whether the video drove meaningful action.
Business outcomes should be measured by comparing lead quality, pipeline contribution, or revenue impact against total production cost.
Videos that can be reused across websites, paid ads, sales outreach, or internal training typically deliver higher long-term value.
