About NetChimp

Hi! My name is Kevin Craighead and I am the guy behind NetChimp.

I aim to build successful websites for my clients and I am pleased to say I’m pretty good at it. I also fix underperforming websites by recommending changes that will increase their effectiveness. Finally, I help increase the number of visitors my clients websites get using various marketing techniques often known as Search Engine Optimisation (SEO).

I try to avoid jargon, techno-babble and buzzwords. I am an honest guy and if I don’t think I can help I won’t take on your job. I believe there is nothing worse than promising you can do something and failing to deliver.

I have been working in the computer industry since 1988 although my love of electronics goes back even further to my first experience of Pong in the late 70′s.

I built my first website in 1997 for American oil giant Chevron when I worked in their Aberdeen office. I continued with web development when I worked for BT Consulting in London as part of the team that designed Channel 4’s and Barclay’s Bank web infrastructures in 2001.

In between I found time to manage local band Bassology where I first used online marketing for promotion. It was so successful we were asked to do a short TV interview by regional TV describing what we did which you can watch below. And yes we did have U2’s producer interested!

I setup my own design agency, Competitive Edge Design, in 2002 which was rebranded as NetChimp in 2011. It is based in York but has customers throughout the UK, from London to Aberdeen. These range from small but ambitious local companies to well-known national chains.

Kind Regards,
