Caxy Interactive is a superb partner. My team at the Chicago Architecture Foundation came to Caxy with a complex, national project that was short on time and money. Their team - which was selected through a competitive process - was creative, efficient and built us an award-winning project on time and on budget. Best of all we now have a great organization we know we can reliably turn to.

Ive worked with Caxy extensively over the last ten years, primarily on new Web site development and have always found Caxy to be a great partner. They are extremely collaborative with their clients and use the Agile method to keep clients involved in the project. Each sprint of the project is reviewed with the project owner in detail prior to implementation allowing flexibility and changes if necessary. Although solutions, options, and recommendations are made throughout the process, the final decision and direction is always that of the client. The staff is extremely professional, responsive

The team at Caxy is the very model of professionalism, expertise, and patience. The team's experience and breadth of knowledge is unrivaled. Every time I have a seemly unsolvable challenge the Caxy team not only rises to the challenge, their processes and internal systems insure the solution is thorough, comprehensive, and future proofed. If it were possible to give them 100 stars I would.
