Using audits to drive change, Mechanics Bank launched with a new CMS and an improved design that follows web best practices. Find out how.
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 — Joe Kepley is an Umbraco Certified Developer, and Chase Burandt is at the highest level — a Umbraco Certified Master Developer.
In fact, because of Blend's over eleven years of success with Umbraco, we became a Gold Partner in 2021, and became a Contributing Gold Partner in 2023 — 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.
