Simon BakerOwner and Senior Programmer

Simon is our founder and has been building websites since the mid nineties. He doesn’t really like to admit he’s been doing this for 20 years now! While we think this make him sound experienced, he thinks it makes him sound old!

He founded eightlegged.com after becoming dismayed with how many companies “sell” a website, promises of incredible returns dictate huge price tags, and spectacular failures. This commission/profit mentality is what is still wrong with web site companies 20 years later.

“My favourite achievement is I still work for my first ever client! 20 years of continuous satisfaction says everything about our company”.

Dave ThompsonSEO & Frontend

Dave is our quality control and the human side of our techie squad. He makes sure we don’t geek out too much and keeps usability and user focus top of every website we produce.

His attitude towards “correctness” and dedication to a job makes him a valuable member of the team. He will never leave a job half done and often comes in on days off to make sure what he has done previous works!

He is responsible for promotion of the websites we manage and he know his stuff when it comes to search promotion and achieving results, not just promises, when it comes to search engine rankings.
