About BoomPress

Built for sports newsrooms

We build the platform so independent publishers can spend their time on coverage, community and growing their business, not on keeping a website alive.

Our story

It started with a better way to publish

BoomPress got its start in Pittsburgh. Co-founders Adam Bertram and Steve Baleno set out to build a publishing platform that was faster, easier for writers, better for search and safer than a site held together by plugins.

From the start, we built it alongside working sportswriters, and what they needed on deadlines and game nights shaped the sports features.

The result is BoomPress: one platform for publishing, community, memberships, sports data, apps and advertising, built, hosted and supported by one team.

Today dozens of publisher sites run on BoomPress, from single-team outlets to multi-sport networks.

What we believe

How we work with publishers

Your community is yours

Your content, your members and your relationship with your readers belong to you, not to a social feed or an algorithm. We're the platform, not the owner.

One team, start to finish

The people who answer your support ticket are the people who build the product. Nothing gets lost between vendors.

Fast is a feature

Speed drives search rankings, ad revenue and reader loyalty, so we treat performance as part of every release.

No plugin roulette

Every feature is built and maintained in-house, so an update never breaks your site the night before a big game.

Built with customers

Our roadmap comes from what publishers ask for. Many of our best features started as a client's request.

Here for the long run

We grow when our publishers grow. Improvements ship to every site, included in your base price.
