Under the hood
You don't need to know how BLNKSP8C works to use it. But if you're curious, here's what happens when you create a Blank.
How it works
What happens when you create a Blank.
Press Create and BLNKSP8C starts building your Blank. We set everything up in the background and let you know when it's ready.
-
1
A private server is created
Every Blank gets its own private server, separate from everyone else's. BLNKSP8C creates it automatically.
-
2
It is set up for you
We configure everything your Blank needs to run securely. There's no server setup or technical configuration for you to manage.
-
3
A starting application is installed
We give your Blank a working starting point, ready for Shield to begin building on.
-
4
It is made ready for the web
Your Blank gets its own web address and everything it needs to be securely available online.
-
5
It's checked and ready
We check everything is working properly, then your Blank is ready for you to start building.
Your private server
Your own private server.
Every Blank gets its own private server. Your application, information and files are kept separate from other blanks. BLNKSP8C creates and configures everything automatically.
Your Blank isn't just a page inside BLNKSP8C. It has its own place to run, store information and grow as you build more into it.
Choose the size that suits what you're building. You can always change it later if your Blank needs more room to grow.
Small
Great for getting started and trying ideas out.
Standard
Comfortable for day-to-day business tools.
Power
For busier tools with more people using them.
Safe by design
Secure by default.
BLNKSP8C takes care of the security your Blank needs behind the scenes. You don't need to manage server passwords, credentials or connections yourself.
Each Blank is kept separate from other customers, with its own application, information and files.
Version history
Every change is remembered.
Every time Shield changes your Blank, BLNKSP8C keeps a record of that version. You can keep building and experimenting without losing the versions that came before.
That history is also what makes Rewind possible.
Shield
Tell Shield what you want.
Shield is how you build your Blank. Tell it what you want in ordinary language and it works on the Blank you already have.
Ask for a new page, a form, a different design, an admin area or a completely new feature. Shield makes the change, and when it's ready, BLNKSP8C puts the new version live.
Look at the result, decide what you want next, and ask Shield again. You can keep building your Blank this way, one change at a time. Each request uses Shield credits.
Going live
From change to live.
When Shield finishes a change, BLNKSP8C takes care of putting the new version live. There's nothing for you to download, upload or deploy.
Your Blank starts with its own BLNKSP8C web address. If you want to use your own domain later, you can.
Rewind
Don't like where you ended up? Rewind.
Building something isn't always a straight line. If you decide you preferred an earlier version of your Blank, you can go back to it.
Choose the version you want to return to, restore it, and carry on building from there.
Isolation
Your Blank is your Blank.
Each Blank has its own application, information and environment, separate from other customers.
BLNKSP8C manages that separation for you behind the scenes.
That's what's happening under the hood.
You decide what you want to build. BLNKSP8C takes care of the rest.
