Have you been wanting to join the Blend team? Well, good news: We're hiring. Check out the full job details. 

CMS Implementation

Thoughtful and reliable custom .NET CMS implementations — built to solve complex content problems.

A part of your team, no matter the scale.

There’s a tendency for development to seem complex and rigid. On the contrary: web development should focus on the person — the editor, the site visitor, and the future developer.

At Blend, we build sites for the future. This means your site isn’t complex and rigid: it’s built to be extensible, adaptable, and prepared for whatever comes next.

This also means our team is just as extensible and adaptable — we fit your project where you need it most, whether it's a full-scope, start-to-finish design implementation, or consultation with your existing development team for advanced installs and integrations.

All the good ideas in one place.

While we specialize in .NET CMS implementations from Optimizely and Umbraco, your project benefits from decades of experience across the content management landscape — from Drupal and Wordpress to Sitecore and Contentful.

What does this mean for your project? It means a cross-polination of ideas, concepts, and best practices. Your audiences deserve more than a one-trick pony — we make sure you’re getting the exact solutions you need.

Coaching and co-development.

Sometimes you don’t need a full development project. Sometimes you just need a little help. Our history and experience developing custom Optimizely (formerly Episerver) and Umbraco solutions equips us to provide top-shelf co-development alongside your existing development team.

Our goal is to set you up for success — both with this engagement and beyond.
