Blackbaud Interactive services can help ensure audience needs are addressed on your site, so they visit often and do more with you online. Services include user mode and persona analysis, navigation construction, and ongoing traffic reporting.

Website Content

Nothing has more impact on your ability to reach your online marketing goals than your content. Great marketing can make them click, and great design may keep them around for a few minutes, but only great content will make them take action and return to support you further in the future. Blackbaud Interactive services can help you get this most critical aspect of your website right. Services include content analysis, persona and segment creation, and creative consultation.

Blackbaud Interactive services can guide your technical staff through requirements like site certificates and domain names, testing and hardware, while making sure your content remains fresh and your go-live is successful.

Once your new website is live, it is definitely time to celebrate. It’s also time to start learning more about your audience, your messaging, and your brand. Your website provides an opportunity to truly understand what your supporters’ value about your organization, what they want to do with you, and what they don’t. Blackbaud Interactive services can help you understand your metrics and help you develop new strategies and tactics to change the behavior of your website visitors. Services include health checks, content and campaign consulting, and administrative task management.
