Adobe Experience Manager specialists

Lost in the cloud? We’ll show you the way.

Blindsheep Digital builds and rescues enterprise Adobe Experience Manager platforms, and designs the experiences that run on them. Senior, hands-on, and clear about the “what” and the “why” at every step.

Who we are

Deep AEM engineering, with a designer’s eye.

Most AEM shops can’t design, and most design studios can’t debug a Dispatcher. We do both. Blindsheep grew out of more than a decade of enterprise consulting, and today we lead AEM delivery for major brands in healthcare, automotive and telecom.

We architect platforms, build authorable component libraries, migrate to the cloud, and get called when something breaks in production. Then we make sure it doesn’t break the same way twice.

Enterprise depth, boutique attention. You work directly with the architect, not an account manager.

What we do

Two disciplines, one team.

All services
AEM platform

Architecture that stays correct.

AEM as a Cloud Service, Cloud Manager, Dispatcher and the code that holds it all together.

  • Architecture & cloud migrations
  • Authorable component libraries
  • Dispatcher, CDN & security as code
  • Audits, incident response & upgrades
  • Marketing tech: Launch, Target, Marketo, CJA
  • Team leadership & developer tooling

Experience

Design people actually enjoy.

The strategy, UX and interface work that makes a platform worth using.

  • Digital strategy & information architecture
  • User experience & wireframing
  • Interface design & design systems
  • Accessible front-end development

Incident responseAEM as a Cloud Service

The outage that wasn’t our release

A commerce site’s publish tier went down right after we deployed a different site. Suspicion fell on our release. We traced the real root cause, one unguarded API call exhausting the thread pool, and proved it against every symptom.

Locking one component to one team

Per-component edit permissions AEM doesn’t offer out of the box, enforced on the server and designed so it can’t take a repository down.

Content Security Policy as code

Hand-edited security headers replaced by a small build step: readable source in, consistent Dispatcher config out.
