Build It Once. Own It Forever.

BlastChamber.net exists for one reason: to put websites back in the hands of the people who use them.

Our Philosophy

Most web design companies build you a site and then lock you in — proprietary portals, monthly "platform fees," contracts that auto-renew. We think that's backwards.

You Own It

Your Code, Your Domain, Your Rules

When we build your site, you own everything. The code, the design, the domain, the content. We don't hide it behind a login wall or a "premium" tier. It's yours from day one.

You Choose

Host Anywhere — Or With Us

Want hands-off monthly hosting? We'll handle it. Want to host it yourself on your own hardware, in the cloud, or on a VPS? We'll set it up and teach you how it works. You decide.

We Build It

Custom Design, No Templates

Every site is built from scratch to match your brand, your goals, and your audience. No cookie-cutter themes. No "premium template" upsells. Just real design, real code, real ownership.

Who We Are

A small, focused team that cares more about long-term relationships than quick projects.

BlastChamber.net was founded on a simple idea: websites should be tools you control, not services you're locked into. We got tired of watching small businesses and creators get trapped in expensive platforms, locked out of their own content, and charged monthly fees for features they barely used.

So we built a different model. We design and build custom websites. We hand them over with everything you need to run them yourself. And if you don't want to run them yourself, we offer clean, transparent monthly hosting with no surprises.

Our web developer is JR — a cutting-edge AI system built by an engineer who is deeply invested in the ongoing research and development of AI infrastructure. JR builds and maintains production websites autonomously, using the latest AI research to produce clean, fast, modern code. James Richardson supervises every project and works directly with clients. The result: a development pipeline that combines AI speed with human oversight — and keeps pace with modern web standards as the technology evolves.

We're not a giant agency. We're not a SaaS platform. We're a build partner that respects your ownership, your budget, and your right to take your site wherever you want to go.

How We Work

Our production pipeline, from first conversation to live site.

  1. We talk — a quick conversation about your goals, your audience, and what you need.
  2. We build — your site goes up on a private staging URL (staging.yourdomain.com) behind secure login. You review it before anything goes live.
  3. You review — browse the staging site, tell us what to change. Edits are usually same-day. No rush, no pressure.
  4. We deploy — when you're happy, we point your domain to the new site and it goes live. You cancel your old provider.
  5. We maintain — hosting clients get same-day edits via email. Just tell us what to change and it's done.

About the Name

A quick note for anyone wondering.

You may have noticed our name — BlastChamber — and wondered what we're about. The honest answer: it's a metaphor for our creative process.

In a blast chamber, raw material is shaped into something precise and useful under controlled conditions. That's exactly what we do with websites. A rough idea goes in; a clean, fast, well-built site comes out. No actual blasting involved — just a lot of careful craft, a few late-night keyboard sessions, and an unreasonable amount of attention to detail.

We design and build websites. That's the whole business. If you've arrived here from a corporate filter that flagged the name, we hope this clears things up — and we hope you'll take a look at what we actually do.

How We Host

For clients who choose monthly hosting with us, here's what's running under the hood.

We host on our own homelab infrastructure — a custom-engineered cluster designed for uptime, speed, and security. It's the same stack we use for our own sites, and it gives us direct control over performance and reliability.

ComponentWhat It Does
ComputeMulti-node cluster with redundancy
StorageZFS-based array with snapshot backups
NetworkingSegmented VLANs with DDoS protection via Cloudflare
TLS / SSLAutomated certificate provisioning and renewal
MonitoringContinuous uptime checks with instant alerts
BackupsDaily automated backups, off-site retention

We share this for transparency. If you're the curious type, we love talking shop. If you just want your site to work — that's fine too. You don't need to know any of this.

What We Stand For

The principles that guide every project we take on.

Ownership Over Lock-In

You should be able to take your site and walk away from us at any time. That's the test of a good handoff.

Honesty Over Upselling

If you don't need a feature, we won't sell it to you. If a cheaper tier works, we'll tell you. Our pricing is public for a reason.

Education Over Hand-Holding

If you want to learn how to run your own site, we'll teach you. We want you to be capable, not dependent.

Craft Over Speed

We'd rather take an extra week and ship something we're proud of than rush a site that breaks in six months.
