Blam’s Website Platform vs WordPress: Helping SMEs Without the Hassle

Alex Melrose • November 20, 2024

If you’ve been thinking about starting your own business or offering websites as part of your services, you will probably have heard of WordPress. It’s a big name in the world of website building, powering over 40% of the web. But is it the best choice for you?


Let’s take a closer look at how WordPress stacks up against Blam’s Website Platform, a tool designed to make life easier for you and your clients.

The Blam Platform: Built for Simplicity

When it comes to building websites, WordPress is known for its flexibility. You can add endless plugins, customise designs, and host your site wherever you like. Sounds good, right?


Well, not so fast. With all that flexibility comes a lot of work. Choosing the right hosting, updating plugins, and troubleshooting issues can quickly become overwhelming, especially if you’re managing multiple client sites.


Blam’s Website Platform takes a different approach. It’s built specifically for professionals who want a simple, powerful, and reliable tool for creating websites.


What Makes Blam’s Website Platform Different?


1. Everything in One Place
With WordPress, you need to source hosting separately, install themes and plugins, and handle your own updates. It’s a lot of moving parts.

Blam’s Website Platform bundles everything together. Hosting, security, and updates are all taken care of for you. No extra services to manage, no hidden costs, just one reliable system.


2. Built-In Security
WordPress relies on third-party plugins and themes for most of its features. While this gives you options, it also creates vulnerabilities. In 2022 alone,
93% of WordPress security issues were caused by plugins.


Blam’s platform is a closed system, meaning every feature is built-in and tightly controlled. No risky plugins, no unexpected security problems; just peace of mind.

3. Designed to Rank
SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) is essential for getting websites seen online. WordPress sites often require multiple plugins to optimise for search engines.

Blam’s platform is “SEO-ready” from the moment you start building. It includes features like:

  • Automatically generated schema markup
  • AI-powered metadata
  • Core Web Vital optimisation

This means websites built on Blam’s platform are faster, easier to find, and ready to grow.


4. Made to Scale
Whether your clients are small businesses or growing brands, they need websites that can handle their success. With Blam’s platform, every site comes with unlimited bandwidth and storage, so there’s no worrying about traffic limits or downtime.


Compare that to WordPress hosting plans, which often cap the number of visitors your site can handle unless you pay for premium packages.


Small businesses need websites that work (without the drama!). They don’t have time to deal with hosting issues, security risks, or slow load times.

Blam’s Platform makes it easy to deliver high-quality websites that:

  • Load quickly and look great on any device
  • Stay secure and up-to-date without any extra effort
  • Rank well on Google, helping businesses attract more customers


Start Building Smarter

If you’re looking for a simple, professional solution for creating websites, Blam’s Platform is the answer. It’s built for people like you, professionals who want to offer small businesses the tools they need to thrive, without getting bogged down in technical headaches.


Why not leave the complexity behind? With Blam, you can focus on what matters most: helping businesses succeed.
