This is not a block heavy site
It works mostly as an app with the blocks only really being used to place active menus on the screen.
This is mainly because there are not many reusable pieces to the site. If it isn't a page level thing then it really isn't a part of this site.
This site doesn't use blocks, but when I use blocks I build them with BEAN.
Bean gives us all the functionality of building content types with nodes except with blocks instead.
I normally add a content view for beans at /admin/content/blocks and I disable the default drupal block management stuff, with the exception of block placement. because that is still necessary.
But again, this site didn't make heavy use of blocks.
I don't always use blocks, but when I do I use the bean module

A word on Blocks

Bean

Bean is an acronym that stands for:

Block Entities Aren't Nodes.
