Icertis needed more than a new design — they needed a full design system, and they needed it built in a robust tool. Blend and Optimizely stepped up to help them out.

Writing, proofing, and executing a contract is a lot of work — from adding boilerplate passages to creating custom terms. It’s a building block approach, and it can be difficult to manage all of these moving pieces across dozens — or hundreds — of contracts.

Icertis knows this: it’s their business to help organizations manage the contract process. Blend also knows this: it’s our business to help organizations manage content in a way that helps, rather than hinders, their productivity.

Working toward a common vision.

It’s with this core understanding that Icertis came to Blend to help build a new site on Optimizely. And with this relationship, built on a common vision and trust, we got to work.

The first step was to combine new discovery and research with past findings to develop a content model that fueled both Icertis’ goals and the promise of an updated design system.

Then, it was all hands on deck to turn a site around on a tight deadline — a phased approach that allowed us to create the core functionality Icertis needed for launch, while also providing a framework designed for their future plans.

Strategy, design, and development: working together.

It's a testament to our relationship with Icertis that we were able to overlap strategy, design, and development to help push a project through ahead of a tight deadline. What's more, this combination of solid development and future planning created a foundation for a beautiful site launch, with the promise of future features still to come. 

And, Blend’s relationship carries on: phase two is already underway to integrate more of Optimizely’s top-of-class features. 

Project Results:

  • Creation and execution of a design system to represent Icertis’ updated branding
  • Integration of templates and blocks using Optimizely
  • Future-focused development planning and fast turnaround based on an MVP+ approach
