We are Blobfolio, a small web development firm with big talent & plenty of experience.
Meet the dynamic duo.
I broke the first computer I was given access to. Then, naturally enough, I proceeded to break it repeatedly. It was all part of my brilliantly evil plan to figure out how it worked. And I did. I was able to gradually move toward more constructive avenues and began writing small programs to perform useful or entertaining tasks.
The programming languages I started with have, of course, long since been retired to the history books, but others, better, have taken their place. I now develop complex and custom web applications and manage a fleet of servers.
I entered the wide world of Web development as a teenager, making Diaryland templates for other teenage girls. From then on I was committed to helping people communicate and connect with others on the Web. I moved on from Diaryland to an open-source blogging software called Greymatter, which was popular in the early 2000s.
Now I focus on helping individuals and companies define themselves on the Web with free and open-source technologies like WordPress.
We're developers. We write the code to bring beautiful designs to life with pixel perfection.
Rit is a commercial dye used for household purposes, including dyeing clothes and wood.
Unlike most product manufacturers and retailers who come our way, Rit already had a strong international marketshare, with products widely available in local stores everywhere. What they needed was a strong informational web presence.
The custom WordPress theme we delivered includes modules for managing color swatches, ingredients, a guided product solution finder, store locator, dynamic language conversion, and much more.
Irrational Labs is a nonprofit that applies behavioral economics findings to product, marketing, and organizational design problems.
We developed their website redesign to better reflect their personality, industry, and message. Organizing their content and resources was a main goal to make it easier for the user to find what they need. We also incorporated responsive design so the website is mobile-friendly across all devices.
Stern Pinball, Inc. is a global lifestyle brand based on the iconic and outrageously fun modern American game of pinball.
We developed a custom WordPress theme to showcase their news and events, game patch downloads, products, and members-only Insider program.
A separate e-commerce site, hosted on Shopify, was also created, and integrated with the main site by leveraging Shopify Plus' API.
We work with design firms to build lasting partnerships.
It's exciting and extremely valuable for me to find a partner that not only can understand and translate my vision from creative through interactive, but also has the ability and high-level skills to troubleshoot issues that come up along the way.
Tiffany is extremely intelligent regarding development and interactive problem solving, so much so that sometimes I email her to help talk me through thoughts in my head to help me plan from top down.
Besides skills, I can’t say enough good things about how Tiffany works. She’s responsive, she’s pleasant and she’s accountable. All important needs when under tight deadlines and tough planning decisions.
You honestly can't go wrong with this team. We have collaborated with Blobfolio countless times, as they have developed almost all of our client sites – from basic WordPress sites to complex web applications.
Quality, efficiency, great communication, knowledge and expertise – it all goes such a long way, and they have time and again improved the work delivered to my clients.
I can't stress enough how damn good they are at their jobs. We all know how difficult it is to find a good developer. Well here's two of them, and bonus: they are SO fun to work with!
There's more than one way to code a cat. Our expertise is with the following:
We'll help you find the right technologies to make your project a success, even if that means having to refer you to a different kind of nerd.
Proper web hosting requires more than stock photography.
We hand-tune everything from the bare metal operating system to WordPress and its plugins and themes.
Our managed hosting will keep your WordPress site safe, secure, and speedy.
We take hosting seriously. All of our servers are configured by hand from bare metal. Everything from the operating system to individual PHP modules are chosen with care, minimizing the attack surface and freeing resources for their true purpose: serving sites!
We handle all of the technical bits:
- Server vitals are monitored 24/7
- Site files and databases are backed up daily
- Those backups are backed up too!
- Critical security patches are applied as soon as they're available
- Other software updates — including to WordPress and its plugins and themes — are applied at least once weekly
- We maintain custom builds of software like Nginx to improve performance and security
- Images are automatically losslessly compressed to reduce bandwidth and improve page speeds
- WordPress configurations are hardened and optimized for maximum security and performance
- All sites receive free SSL encryption (that is actually configured correctly…)

Hands-off hosting isn't for everyone, but if you're tired of unreliable tech or administrative nonsense stealing time away from content, shoot us an email and we'll see if we can help!
