Strategic design.
More than simply driving conversions, strategic design focuses on fulfilling promises. That means usable interfaces without surprises, design that complements and enhances content, and an architecture focused on helping your audience find solutions.
Discovery and Research
Our process begins with research and discovery. Because designing with intent means understanding the people behind each decision.
Strategy
A website depends on content, design, and functionality — strategic planning helps make sure all three work in concert.
Design
Driving user goals through sharp design and thoughtful pathways: experience design with decades of experience.
Accessibility
Your site belongs to everyone. Web accessibility standards help make sure your site is as inclusive as possible.
Custom implementation.
Your goals aren’t the same as anyone else’s. Which means your site shouldn’t be either. We bring decades of .NET development and engineering experience to create a custom solution that works for you — and your customers or clients. More than that — we make sure you’re never lost along the way.
Implementation
Thoughtful and reliable custom .NET CMS implementations — built to solve complex content problems.
Coaching and Co-Development
Setting internal development teams up for success through customized CMS coaching and co-development.
Migration
Blend Interactive has over 15 years of experience moving sites from one content management system to another — it's part of our very DNA.
Your partner into the future.
Everything up to project launch is day zero. The real work begins on day one, after your site has launched. Whether it’s keeping your site maintained, helping optimize your site beyond launch, or supplementing your existing team, you’ve got a trusted partner in Blend.
Optimization
A website is a business tool, designed to further organizational goals. It's important to keep those goals top-of-mind. That's the promise of digital optimization.
Web Operations
Web operations encompass the day-to-day work of a website, from writing to editorial oversight to digital governance. Blend can help you develop a plan.
Ongoing Partnership Plans
From strategic design to thoughtfully planned .NET development, Blend’s here to serve as both a partner and a colleague in the future of your website.
Who we work with.
We’re very specific in the systems we partner with. And we’re very specific in who we recommend YOU work with. Which means you can be sure that you’re getting exactly the right solution — enterprise, open-source, .NET, integrations — for your project.
