Sometimes outsourcing web development can be more trouble than it's worth.
I've had the pleasure of working with Rocket Jones on numerous projects for the City of Fort Collins. Regardless of the project size, the work from Rocket Jones is always top-notch, and their knowledge and expertise are second to none. While some consultants know how to prolong problems, Rocket Jones knows how to solve them. They know how to listen to the customer and help guide them in the right direction. They truly care about the outcome of a project and have a strong sense of pride in their work. They are as knowledgeable in building relationships with customers as they are in building websites. Rocket Jones is a unique group of seasoned professionals who know how to get things done.
I am looking forward to collaborating with Rocket Jones on many more projects in the future. In my opinion Rocket Jones has it all. They have a great sense of humor and are extremely competent, friendly, and intelligent . . . plus, they have a cool gum-ball machine in their office.

Rocket Jones is an extraordinary web programming company! They truly provide it all — brilliance, innovation, accuracy and responsive, upbeat customer service. They’ve done exceptional work for me twice now, first with Exodus Moving & Storage and now with Choose People.
Their Content Management System is incredibly user friendly. I really can do just about anything I want to my site, anytime I want (except break it — they make sure to keep you AWAY from the red button).
Rocket Jones completed my project on time and charged me exactly what they said they would, not a penny more. All charges were up front and very clear, which in the web world isn’t always easy.
Their project management and their overall communication kept me in the loop every step of the way. I felt like we were on the same team, working together to make it all come together, and that they were just as excited to see my website be successful and “groovy cool” as I was. Both their words and actions told me they cared. That’s saying a lot for a company in an industry that’s known for struggling on the customer service front. Rocket Jones absolutely delivered, and then some.

I have never worked with a development team as talented and professional as Rocket Jones. After working together on a few projects, it was easy to make the choice to use Rocket exclusively as our programming partner.
What I like most about Rocket Jones is that they run their business like I do. They are responsive, professional, knowledgeable, and they provide exceptional service. I can always trust that Rocket will take the time to understand our projects, collaborate to produce the most ideal solution, and complete the work on-time and on-budget. With Rocket I don't need to micromanage, and we work together seamlessly. Rocket Jones is an integral part of our company and our success.

Rocket Jones helped us get a major overhaul complete with great success. They were great to work with from start to finish, and they continue to provide us with top-notch customer support. As a small services firm with limited in-house IT capability, we’re thrilled to have the Rocket Pages CMS they developed for our web site. It has made it so easy to update our own web site at will.

Rocket Jones works with their clients in a highly professional manner; they have strong project management and technical skills, and can build a website really fast! Their attention to detail and problem solving strategies helped to make our site the best it could be.

The criteria for being successful on the internet in competitive market spaces has grown exponentially just over the last few years. It has to be integrated with one's business, brand, market presence and technologies – pervasive and emerging – while also respectful of web culture – whether effective engagement, content, community and design. My business has grown to be 4 high-growth businesses, and I credit the passions and talents of the firms I engage with as critical to accomplishing rather aggressive goals. In the past year and a half I have come to recognize the Rocket Jones team, with leadership from Jeff and Marge, as outstanding additions to my outsourced team.
As we helped Chata Solutions to develop their web site and it involved branding, messaging, technology integration and web development, wherever Rocket Jones interfaced with my client, it was seamless and highly professional, insightful, responsive, and technology proficient. Chata was delighted with the end result. We all have demands and expectations. I like knowing that warmth, commitment, passion and foresight are well entrenched in the way Rocket Jones works with people.

Rocket Jones has always been genuinely committed to the success of our projects. One project included substantial business logic that needed to be implemented in code, a large database with extensive relationship and integrity requirements on the back-end, as well as a web interface that had to dynamically adapt to each audience of users. They were able to take these requirements and create a key software package from the ground up in a short period of time. Each member of the Rocket Jones team is extremely talented and provides us with top-notch service. They are creative, responsive and proactive – we couldn’t ask for better developers for our company’s projects.

I contacted Rocket Jones after receiving a recommendation from a colleague whose website I admired. The people at Rocket Jones sat down with me to prioritize my website objectives and identify the appropriate level of 'sophistication' specific to my needs and budget. The RJ staff are creative and responsive and exceeded my expectations. The resulting website is generating lots of positive feedback from my business contacts.

I don’t view Rocket Jones as a vendor; rather, I view them as a partner. During a recent web site redesign they proved excellent to work with. Rocket Jones has skilled technical resources, and I will continue to consult them for all my future web design needs. They offer great value for expert level service.
Feel free to contact me if you want more information about our experience working with Rocket Jones. It’s rare that I encounter service so exceptional that I’ll offer up a recommendation, but Rocket Jones truly is one of those finds.

In 2007, I heard Jeff Shoemaker make a Rocket Jones presentation on behalf of Gen Green (Fort Collins), and I couldn’t wait to talk to him about my company’s web needs. Two weeks later we were collaborating with the Rocket Jones team on a “dream” site, one that freed us from time-consuming, repetitive tasks and gave our clients easy access and quick feedback. Now, after a year and a half, we are still collaborating, making improvements to our www.artforconservation.org site.
The best part about working with Rocket is their ability to help us think beyond the limitations we impose on ourselves. They built an extremely functional site with a strong foundation. Making modifications is as easy as sitting down with the Rocket Jones staff, explaining our needs and waiting for their always creative and eye-popping results. Rocket Jones has made working on our ecommerce web site fun!
