The hardest part of your website isn't building it. It's everything that comes before and after.

That's the kind of problem we're built for.

Blend Interactive guides teams through complicated web and content problems — from the first strategic questions through design, development, and the years of work that follow. We've been doing this for over 21 years.

The site is better when the thinking happens first.

Most web projects start with the wrong question — "what should the site look like?" or "which CMS should we use?" — instead of "what are we actually trying to accomplish, and what's getting in the way?"

We've seen enough projects to know where they break down: not because of bad code, but because nobody planned for the content, the editorial workflow, or what happens six months after launch.

Why We're Different

A partner, not a vendor, so you’ve got someone invested in your success.

The web is too complex — and changing too fast — for your team to hire a vendor that shows up, builds a thing, and dips. You need a partner: someone who is as invested in the web as you are, and has the chops to back it up.

That’s Blend. We’re different because:

UX Testing Icon - Maze

We embrace challenge.

It doesn't matter how complex your design or implementation project is. You'll leave with a sense of order and understanding.

Consulting Icon - Two Speech Bubbles

We're on your team.

There's no need to worry about communication problems: we work best when we're part of a cohesive team – either alongside a marketing partner or serving as integration lead.

Advocacy Icon - Boxing Glove

We're advocates from start to finish.

Above everything, we advocate for you, your audiences, and your goals. We help make decisions that lead to sustainable, maintainable, and user-focused web projects.

The work we're proud of.

We've been solving complex web problems for over two decades. Here's what that looks like.

Cherry Bekaert is one of the U.S.’s fastest-growing accounting and consulting firms, and Blend helped design and develop an Optimizely site to cut through the noise of sterile accounting competitors.

Blend redesigned the SD UJS site for clarity, accessibility, and ease of use, with Umbraco CMS, better content tools, and improved document handling.

“We needed a few things. A modern, journey-centric website built on an enterprise-class platform — and, of course, we needed it yesterday.

One of the reasons we chose Blend Interactive is because of its agile approach. They would release a feature, for example, our customer stories section, and while we were working to populate that content, they were working on the next feature. Traditionally we would have had to wait for the whole site to be built before we could start populating content, which would not have allowed us to make our accelerated deadline.”

“The Blend team has been great to work with and has exceeded our expectations. We have been impressed with how quick the project moved along and couldn’t have picked a better agency to partner with.”
