EXO Score Summary

The Average profile gives buyers a credible starting point, but not enough evidence to shortlist without checking service fit and profile ownership. The profile lists 3 services and 3 technical-focus entries, but their names are unavailable here, so buyers cannot see which delivery layers or technologies anchor the offer. Its strongest evidence is 27 published portfolio cases; 5 reviews averaging 4 stars are positive but still an emerging, limited-volume signal. A 50-249 person team and stated coverage of enterprise, mid-market, and small-business clients indicate broad potential fit, while 2 offices provide a basic footprint. The profile is unclaimed, with no account managers, contributions, or TechBehemoths Award editions recorded, so ownership and current details need checking. Worth considering, but request relevant case studies and references, confirm the proposed team and services, and verify the company contact before committing.

Reviews Summary

The profile has 5 reviews with a 4-star average. That is a positive but still emerging signal: five reviews offer more than isolated feedback, but the volume is not enough to treat the rating as a dependable picture of performance across engagements. Buyers should read the individual reviews for relevance to their project and ask for references tied to comparable work. The rating supports consideration, not a decision on its own.

Awards Summary

No TechBehemoths Award editions are recorded on the profile, so platform awards provide no additional recognition signal for buyers to weigh. This is an absence of platform evidence, not evidence about delivery quality; companies may simply have limited engagement with the platform. The substantial portfolio and review section offer other material to assess, but buyers should base their decision on those examples and direct references rather than expecting awards to validate the work.

Claimed Summary

The profile is unclaimed, with no business-email verification and no manager listed. Nobody at the company is maintaining this profile through the platform, so service, contact, and other details may be stale. Buyers should verify the current company information and confirm that the people responding to an inquiry are authorized representatives before relying on profile claims. The portfolio and reviews remain visible evidence, but the listing itself does not provide an accountability signal from the company.

Description Summary

The profile provides a moderate amount of self-description, giving buyers some orientation but not enough detail to establish where Blue Fountain Media is strongest or how it approaches delivery. That leaves a meaningful gap between a general sense of the company and evidence of relevant expertise. The extensive portfolio helps buyers inspect work directly, but it does not replace a clear account of methods, team capabilities, or project fit. Before shortlisting, compare the company’s stated approach with the needs of your brief and ask who would lead the work.

Portfolio Summary

The profile shows 27 published portfolio cases, giving buyers substantial material to inspect for relevance, range, and the kinds of work the company has delivered. This is the strongest direct evidence on the profile and a real advantage when comparing providers with little or no published work. The count alone does not establish which cases match your sector, scope, or technical requirements. Review the most relevant examples and ask for the company’s role, project constraints, and outcomes before treating breadth as proof of fit.

Other Summary

The supporting profile picture is strongest on client coverage and location: the company lists enterprise, mid-market, and small-business clients, alongside 2 offices. The 27-case portfolio is also substantial, although it sits outside this supporting-component summary. The weaker signals are technical focus and team-size detail, while key account contacts and platform contributions are absent. With 6 of 8 supporting components filled, buyers have useful breadth but should verify technical fit and identify a responsible contact before relying on the profile.

How Blue Fountain Media compares with other companies in United States

Benchmarked against every other company in United States. See exactly where Blue Fountain Media ranks.

How Blue Fountain Media compares to other companies based on profile strength?

Blue Fountain Media’s profile carries an Average information-strength label in New York. The local distribution is weighted toward below-average, poor, and very poor profiles; Average sits above that dominant lower tier, while good and higher labels are less common. That puts the profile ahead of many local alternatives, but short of the market’s most thoroughly documented listings.For a shortlist, this is a useful baseline rather than a standout evidence advantage. Buyers can expect more to assess here than on many lower-label profiles, but should still verify relevant project examples, team experience, and delivery process before comparing the company with top-documented peers. The label describes profile information, not service quality.

How much does Blue Fountain Media charge for their services compared to other companies in United States and New York?

Blue Fountain Media discloses an hourly range of $150-$250/hour, putting it toward the premium end of New York’s disclosed rates. Local profiles include many lower price points, and $250/hour reaches the highest rate bucket shown in the city comparison. A large share of local profiles omit rates, so the comparison applies only to providers with disclosed pricing.This is a clear budget-fit signal, not a quality ranking. Buyers with a tighter rate ceiling may find the range difficult to match; those considering this price tier should compare the proposed scope, team composition, and billing terms with other quotes. The profile does not establish what work or seniority level the stated rate covers.

How many services does Blue Fountain Media provide compared to other companies?

Blue Fountain Media lists 3 services, placing it toward the focused end of the New York market and below the common 5-service bucket. Many local profiles list no services, while the distribution also includes providers listing 10 or more; three is a compact offer, but not an outlier in a market with varied breadth.For buyers, this is a focused shortlist entry, not evidence that the company cannot cover adjacent needs. Check whether the listed services map directly to the project and ask for relevant work in each area. If the brief spans several disciplines, confirm which capabilities are delivered directly and which require outside partners.

When was Blue Fountain Media founded?

Founded in 2002, Blue Fountain Media is long-established relative to the US profile distribution. The largest concentration of founding dates falls in 2008-2018, so the company predates that central cohort; it is not among the market’s oldest outliers. No New York founding-year comparison is available, so this positioning is national rather than city-specific.The date gives buyers a longer operating history to examine, not proof of quality or current performance. For shortlisting, ask for comparable work and references that demonstrate relevant experience over the company’s tenure, then assess those against the present brief. Founding year is useful context, but it cannot replace evidence of recent, relevant delivery.

Reviews summary

This is a small, dated record with a low overall score: 3.4 from 5 reviews. The reviews span 2012-2020: three are 5-star and two are 1-star. The supplied information does not identify how many were posted on TechBehemoths versus imported, so the source mix cannot be weighed; with only five reviews and none within the last 12 months, treat the score as an ageing signal of past performance, not a current track record.

Most favorable reviewers describe a positive experience: one small-company client praises attentive, easy collaboration over more than a year, and another commends logo design. The examples also include a brief expression of confidence, but offer little detail about outcomes.

The two 1-star reviews report concerns about price, product quality, missed deadlines and unfinished scope; one also says post-launch work required additional payment and an escalation went unanswered. Feedback includes small-company, startup and logo-design work, not clear evidence of enterprise-scale engagements. Before signing, ask for a reference on a comparable $50,000+ web project and confirm launch acceptance criteria and post-launch support in the contract.

I would give 0 stars if possible. Price does not reflect the product NOR the service. We spent A LOT of money for a website that we expected to be well-done. We were opening a new business and the site was not completed on time (they were given PLENTY of time to complete). There was a long list of deficiencies and features they still had not built for the site. Our new business was opening and we had no choice but to launch an unfinished site. Once launched, Blue Fountain refused to finish the site. They wanted us to pay more just to finish the original scope of work. The site was built terribly, it was slow, the backend was a disaster. We paid a local developer a small fraction of the cost from Blue Fountain to rebuild our site from scratch and it was far superior. I contemplated writing a letter to CEO, but given how their managers respond to their customers, I realized it would have been a waste of time. Learn from our mistake, don't use Blue Fountain Media.

I payed BFM over 75k and received a product that did not meet the expectations discussed prior to hiring them. In terms of vision, they presented a cookie cutter blueprint that was identical to a competitor which we had previously explained was not the direction we wanted to go. They pushed us to monetize our product by increasing the initial cost to the user which would have drastically decreased our growth (ie. ability to scale) - something most start up founders can attest is a vital aspect of any B2C. The UI mock ups they created were poorly researched and not created to meet our needs. It was obvious that the team was not interested in being creative but rather they were there to produce a website and branding- but nothing more. Their fees are astronomical and in our case, did not include software management beyond the date they completed the site (this is not sustainable for start ups bkuz an MVP changes and is improved upon constantly!) The company owner at the time was Gaberiel and I emailed him with my concerns. He never replied. Apparently, 75k billed to BFM does not get you a viable product or quality customer care :(

These guys made it very clear that my success was more important to them than my money.

Used Blue Fountain Media to help do some designs for my logo and the work they done was top notch! Was tired of hiring people for a mid price and getting okay work. Finally got a decent price with a quality product as well. Will be using them in the future for more! Thumbs up!

My company has been working with Blue Fountain for over a year, and they are simply the best! They are extremely easy to work with and do an amazing job! We're a small company and don't have the financial resources that some larger companies have, so it was extremely important that when we chose a website company we chose someone we were confident in. Out of the many firms we spoke with, they were the only company we believed could give us everything we needed from a business and creative standpoint, while giving us the personal attention we needed. When working with Blue Fountain, they just don't build a website for you, they build a partnership that will benefit your company and guarantee your website and business grows into a success.
