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.

We lost a true legend in the business coaching world last week when Bob Proctor passed away at the age of 87. Anyone who has been around the business world for some years and taken an interest in personal development will know of Bob, and many will remember him for his part in the famous film/book The Secret by Rhonda Byrne. I read The Secret 15 years ago and was intrigued (but skeptical) by this concept that “the Law of Attraction” influences everything in the world and all that we do. Bob was one of the key contributors in this book and I can still hear his voice from the audio stating that we attract what we think about “by law” of nature, a scientific fact. That got my interest and I started to dig deeper. It turns out the theory that we attract what we think about was not a new concept. I’ve recommended before the book “Think and Grow Rich” by Napoleon Hill in another article, and in my view this is the business owners version of The Secret, with practical applications of how the law of attraction can work for you. It’s fair to say that those two books had a huge influence on my life and therefore the lives of the people I’ve coached and influenced since. Now the idea, that Bob was so articulate in purveying, is a part of my everyday life and no longer a fringe idea that may not have any substance. So how can you be attractive to the things and people in life that you want? Well, that’s the big question, and I’m still on my journey to achieving all the things I think and work for. However, what I can say is that when you have a goal that you are single-mindedly focused on. A goal, you think about all the time, make plans to achieve, talk and write about it consistently. Then you are employing the Law of Attraction to bring that goal closer to you, and in my experience one way or another you will get there with persistence. There is nothing strange or “woo woo” about that, it’s just common sense. What we can do is help control how much we think about something, charged with positive thoughts and outcomes. Visuals like vision boards can help you do this and goals that are written and printed in line of sight at your desk. Using these techniques over the years I have achieved many goals and created wonderful memories that look just the way I had visualised them. As I sit here writing this, as I do every Sunday morning, in front of me at my desk is my vision board, my goals list and my gratitude bag, all reminding me of where I’m going and being grateful for where I’ve been. I now teach some of these techniques to Blam Partners and help them see how they can influence their future by being more attractive to it. Many find it inspiring and uplifting and that’s what’s so great about some of these practices, at the very least they make you feel good! Life is a journey we are all on together learning from each other, and now one of the great teachers of this journey has made his way to the next stage, I want to keep his flame burning as he was a hugely positive influence in my life, rest in peace Bob.
