Umbraco and Blend
The friendly, open-source CMS that supports your workflows, empowers your editors, and takes your website’s performance to new heights.
Umbraco — an open-source .NET content management system — is designed to provide an affordable open content management environment with an intuitive editing experience.
And, Umbraco is backed by a strong ecosystem of professional and skilled developers, which means there are very few problems that can’t be addressed by someone who’s been there before. We have some of those very professionals here, with five Umbraco Certified Developers — including Chase Burandt, who has completed the highest level of training and is recognized as an Umbraco Certified Master Developer.
In fact, because of Blend’s over eleven years of success with Umbraco, we became a Platinum Partner in 2024 and became a Contributing Gold Partner in 2022. In addition, co-founders Joe Kepley and Karla Santi are both Umbraco MVPs, and Karla is on the Partner Advisory Board — further solidifying our commitment to and confidence in Umbraco’s community and ecosystem.
We’re always adding new case studies to the site. Until then, contact us to learn more about our work with Umbraco.
“Umbraco is a really good mix of usability and functionality, especially for an enterprise-scale site. Overall, it's one of the best content management systems that we have utilized for our clients in a long time.”
