Simon Baker
Owner & Senior Programmer
Simon is the founder of Eightlegged and has been building websites and software since the mid-1990s. He founded Eightlegged after becoming disillusioned with how many companies sell websites — where promises, commission, and buzzwords drive inflated prices and, too often, spectacular failures.
His focus has always been on building systems that genuinely work, deliver long-term value, and evolve with the businesses that rely on them.
Max Gledhill
Programmer
Max is one of our programming heroes. He takes on the challenges others avoid and thrives on solving complex technical problems. From VB to C#, Max brings both depth and adaptability to everything he builds — along with the passion and curiosity that keeps systems improving rather than stagnating.
Jackie Stephenson
Administration
Jackie looks after the business and keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes. Without her, we'd be lost. She handles the things us techies either don't know about — or would rather pretend don't exist — ensuring the company operates efficiently and professionally day to day.
John Cann
Senior Developer
John is our serious nerd — in the very best way. With over 30 years in software development, he consistently builds systems that are both elegant and deeply impressive. Even after decades in the industry, he still manages to surprise us.
If a problem is intricate, devilishly hard, and requires significant thought (and a lot of coffee), John is the person you want building it.
Jacob Baker
Digital & Media Support
Jacob works with Eightlegged providing digital and media support across web and content-related projects. He has published several websites and has hands-on experience creating and editing video content, including filming, post-production, and managing content for online platforms.
