Who is behind Blogmaker

The origin story.

Create a Blog for your Passion, SEO/AEO & Content Marketing, News, Company Updates, Reviews, Travel, and everything in between.

Hi there!

I’ve been designing, building, and launching content websites for clients worldwide since the early days of the internet. Before that, I was already experimenting with computers by the age of 8, when my parents got me my first computer, and then programmed my first fully working app at 12, which still runs to this day.

I feel extremely lucky to have attended the School of Art and Design at Montclair State University where I graduated with a BA in graphic design and photography.

After working at a few solid companies like Ogilvy and the NBA, I ran two web design shops in two separate continents: North America and Europe. Both of these studios ran with small teams, but we served big clients such as Oxfam America, New York Film Academy, TEB BNP Paribas, USAID, TEDx, GIZ in Germany, SIDA in Sweden, and more.

These experiences and the incredible fusion of my design education and programming background ultimately led me to the creation of Blogmaker, which encompasses everything I love about running a business: serving others.

Blogmaker launched in April 2021, and since then it has served thousands of users across the world. Everything that Blogmaker is today comes from the open conversations I've had throughout the years with bloggers, who use Blogmaker to promote their business, build a personal brand, run their photography business, share their hobbies with others, keep a personal journal, and so much more. The use cases are vast.

Blogmaker has democratized true blog ownership. When a users creates their blog on Blogmaker, it's forever theirs, regardless of their upgrades or downgrades along the way.

There’s something deeply rewarding about seeing someone across the world who I have never met succeed with a tool I have built. This is something that inspires me daily and excites me to continue making Blogmaker the best blogging platform it can possibly be.

Blogmaker is part of Handmade Spaceships, Inc., a company making online products with mentions in Forbes, The Economist, Launchub, NPR, Global Entrepreneurship Week, SassScribe, Startup Sauna, Product Hunt, Startup Istanbul, Geektime, and more.

We are privately owned, run our servers on 100% green energy, and contribute 1% of all our revenue towards fighting climate change.

Going forward, Blogmaker will continue evolving alongside the needs of our bloggers and the future of online publishing, which is changing rapidly yet somehow staying the same.

With how quickly everything is progressing, I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Unmatched yearly pricing that starts free!

Blogmaker sits in the golden middle between free basic tools (Substack, Blogger, Medium), where you don’t own your content, and legacy tools (Ghost, WordPress) that are bloated, cost more than they should, and still lack Blogmaker features and customization options.
