Our Verticals

Associations — Your goal is to get information to your members in a way that excites and engages. Our goal is to help you get there.

Providing a digital home to your association's most important resources: community and information. 

Associations and organizations vary in size and form, but they all share one common attribute: providing purpose-driven content for members. Whether the goal is to communicate and connect with members or create an inviting atmosphere for potential members, Blend has been working with associations to help reach their goals for over a decade. 

This means you have full access to a team that knows how to implement best practices and web trends specific to organizations — aligning your goals, while attracting members to your site. 

  • Eye-catching design and thoughtful design systems to help your association look professional 
  • Personalization to provide the right content to the right people at the right time 
  • Integration with member management and CRM systems to ensure your data goes where it's supposed to 
  • Events articles, podcasts, resources — if there's a content type your association needs, we've done it

But don't take it from us. View some of our work in the association space.
