blamo! - Building web stuff in Central Alberta

What's in a blamo!?

blamo is in the business of making things for the web - from simple websites to complex data-driven web-applications and all the lovely things in between.

Unique Design & Development

A lot of modern day websites follow the same formula: Slap a logo on some third-party template, marry that to an off-the-shelf piece of content management software, and send it all away to go live on some dingy, shared server somewhere. Now, there's nothing fundamentally wrong with that approach - it's fast, cheap, easy and doesn't require a whole lot of know-how. You can sell someone a website without ever having to know anything about websites. But this isn't how we do things.

 

the web already has more than enough cookie-cutter websites

We believe that this one-size-fits-all approach isn't for everyone. When blamo builds a website or web application, it is built entirely from scratch. Every piece of the design, every line of code has been developed with your specific project in mind. The end result is something unique and original that you can call your own. Is it more work? Probably. But is it worth it? Definitely! Besides, when was the last time you walked around a neat, old city and thought "man, I sure wish there were more bland, square, concrete buildings around here. Maybe a Walmart!" No? We feel the same way about the web.

Tailor-Made CMS

Here is something cool. Rather than trying to take the square peg of your project requirements and cram it into the round hole of some off-the-shelf content management software, blamo has developed an entirely new and custom-built system for managing your website content. Its name: The blamo! Content Management System (I know, right?)

 

the blamo! cms is customized specifically for your website

This allows us complete freedom when building the controls specific to your website or project. Need a sortable database to track trends in feline hairstyles from 1960 to 1972? Need an easy way to manage that content so that it displays in a very specific way on your website? We can build you controls for that.

Device-Specific Design

Websites are about a lot more than personal computers these days. For a lot of us, it's pretty important that we can reach our audience through the portal of its choice. We can build your website to take advantage of multiple formats, be it desktop, tablet, mobile, or whatever.

 

designs can adapt to different devices

Private, Managed Hosting

When we build your website or web application, it is given a cozy home on a private, managed server. This means your bright, shiny new project isn't going to be sent off to live on some shared server with a couple dozen sketchy sites you've never met, inevitably leading your new baby down the wrong path towards wasted bandwidth, server outages, and unexplained slowdowns.

 

beware servers unknown

Our managed servers mean we can monitor your site's performance and catch problems before they become, well, big problems. Get a new website and the first year of hosting is on us! After that, you can decide if it's still worth it (it totally is).
