The Kestrel Team is top notch. We've been using them for years for all of our web, e-commerce, and app development needs. They're really great at taking initiative and managing projects from cradle to grave. Usually when you find a reasonable cost you have to compromise on quality, time, or oversight required. Not with this team! They're just really great.
