Howdy. My name is Oliver Baty, and I have been designing web sites since 2000.

Ardamis.com was started in early 2005 as a sandbox for experimenting with a different technologies making their way into the sites I was developing as a freelancer. Since then it has been a portfolio, a business card, a SEO testing ground, and most recently, a blog.

In case you were wondering… the name Ardamis comes from a misheard song lyric on the 1984 Planet P Project album “Pink World.” It’s a double-album, 26-song, progressive rock opera about a boy with psychic powers who eventually saves (some of) the planet from nuclear annihilation. Today, it’s mostly unlistenable, even for someone who appreciates concept albums, but I was 10 in 1984, and it sounded pretty good.

The most direct way to reach me is to fill out the form on the Contact page, but you can also connect with ardamis on LinkedIn or become a fan of ardamis on Facebook.

I contribute as ardamis on GitHub. There are also personal pages for Oliver Baty on LinkedIn and Oliver Baty on Facebook, and you can follow me as ardamis on Twitter.

About Ardamis

Ardamis is a blog about web development and technology.



If you've arrived here looking for a tiny web development studio specializing in high-quality, handmade web sites, you're very close. I've created Aleph Studios to hand the business side of things while leaving Ardamis as an outlet for thoughts of a less focused nature.
