Bios

Aaron Whiffin, Webbed Feet

Aaron Whiffin

Director

Aaron started making commercial websites back in 1997 so that he could support himself through his degree in Mathematics & Computing at The University of Bath.

In 2001, after his graduation with a BSc (Hons), Aaron setup Webbed Feet with the main aim of helping small businesses 'get their feet for the web', but was making more advanced bespoke eCommerce websites within just a couple of months.

In 2010 Webbed Feet had expanded enough for Aaron to stop developing websites, and start focusing on his role as a Director.

In his spare time, Aaron enjoys walking his dog Flipper with his wife Monika, son Maximus and daughter Isla, training in the gym, always loves a spot of DIY, and tinkering with his car.

Alex Hopson, Webbed Feet

Alex Hopson

Director

Alex made his first website back in 1997 when the web was still in its infancy. Throughout his time studying at university he worked on the website for Trade Aid, a local charity, and shortly after completing his course he joined Aaron.

Since his first work on the web Alex has always been keen to keep up to date with the latest trends and capabilities of web browsers, trying to make sure that every site he works on makes the web more beautiful and easy to use. He created the CMS system Webbed Feet uses and continues to iterate it and tailor it to each client.

Alex caught the travel bug while spending his gap year teaching in Tanzania, and since then has travelled to Timbuktu, cycled across the Andes and trekked in Ethiopia to mention just a few places. When relaxing in this country he enjoys making things, most recently an automated photo booth for Aaron’s wedding or photography out and about in the local surroundings.
