Effective investor relations (IR) websites are no longer optional – they're essential. They're the digital cornerstone of your company, shaping how investors perceive you and driving engagement. At Blender, we understand this critical role. That's why we've built our web design philosophy on six core pillars designed to optimize your IR website for maximum impact.

1. Investor Experience (IX):

We go beyond simply delivering information. Our approach focuses on clear communication, intuitive navigation, and a user-friendly design that fosters meaningful connections with potential investors. Whether you choose one of our budget-friendly IR templates or a custom design, we ensure that your site quickly conveys your story to shareholders. Here’s how we achieve this:

• Stock information readily visible from the homepage and investors page.
• Newsletter sign-up and contact information available in multiple locations, like the navigation bar and footer.
• Highlight the value proposition of your core business objectives by showcasing compelling narratives such as industry leadership or project milestones on key landing pages.
• Company news is featured prominently on the homepage.
• Presentations or factsheets are downloadable from various places, including the homepage, investor section, and side navigation.

2. Design & Layout

First impressions are lasting. Our award-winning design team crafts visually compelling IR websites that prioritize usability alongside aesthetics. Clean layouts, logical organization, and easy-to-find information will effectively communicate your company's story and keep investors engaged. 

• Consistent brand visuals, colors, and fonts are used throughout the website to reinforce brand recognition and trust.
• High-resolution images and videos that resonate with your target audience (e.g., showcase company culture, product functionality).
• Open Graph protocol is set up to ensure optimal social media sharing of your investor content.

3. Technical Expertise:

A beautiful website needs a strong foundation. Our team ensures your IR website is built on a robust technical framework with best-in-class coding standards and secure hosting. This guarantees optimal web performance across all devices and a reliable hub for investors to stay up to date on company news. 

• An up-to-date SSL certificate is a non-negotiable for secure communication.
• Ensure your website is responsive and mobile-friendly for optimal viewing on any device.
• We ensure there are no broken links and that the privacy policy is readily available.
• We implement reCAPTCHA on email sign-ups and use consent checkboxes or double opt-in confirmation emails for user control.
• A cookie message is enabled with a link to the cookie policy.
• We prioritize fast loading speeds on both mobile and desktop devices.

4. Accessibility for All:

We believe everyone deserves an equal user experience. Our websites adhere to strict accessibility guidelines, ensuring inclusivity for all investors:

• All images include descriptive alt tags.
• Text-to-background color contrast is optimized for clear viewing.
• Text size and font are chosen for legibility.
• Forms have clear labels and headings are used to structure content.
• Link text is descriptive and conveys where clicking will take the user.
• Color alone is not used to communicate information – we incorporate patterns, fill, sizing, borders, icons, or whitespace for redundancy.

5. SEO Optimization:

Getting discovered online is crucial. We integrate search engine optimization (SEO) best practices to enhance your website's visibility: 

• Meta descriptions on each page provide concise summaries.
• URLs are clear, short, and descriptive to improve user experience and search engine optimization.
• Large blocks of text are broken down with headings for better readability.
• The website is submitted to Google Search Console for indexing.
• We ensure a clear site structure with minimal duplicate information and a well-functioning 404 error page.

6. Public Company Compliance:

Navigating the complexities of public company regulations can be daunting. With Blender Media, you can rest assured. Our team of IR professionals stays up-to-date on the latest compliance requirements, ensuring your website adheres to all necessary legal and regulatory standards.

• Easy access to financial statements and SEC/SEDAR filings within the investor section.
• Clear presentation of the Board of Directors and Management Team, including titles, bios, and headshots.
• Readily available corporate governance policies for transparency.
