Experience, Education, & Skills
Craig Allen is a Web Developer at SEO Locale, bringing over 15 years of experience in front-end development, UI/UX design, and various content management systems including WordPress. He also has a passion for teaching, and in 2016 and 2017, gave talks at the WordCamp conferences in Lehigh Valley.
He attributes much of his career path to his natural state of curiosity, always wanting to learn and understand how things work. He started his journey in development at 13 years old, teaching himself HTML one summer by looking at the source code of websites and trying to figure out what it did. A lot of learning took place over the next few years by experimenting with new technologies then figuring out how to fix it.
Craig holds a bachelor’s degree in Technical Management and has worked extensively in IT and web development, balancing freelance projects alongside his career. He’s also continued his education, recently completing course certificates in UX and SEO. A creative thinker with a passion for learning new things, he thrives on solving difficult problems and making the web a better place—one project at a time.
He’s passionate about creating seamless, user-friendly websites and enjoys tackling complex technical challenges. A creative thinker with a love for trying new things, he’s always looking for ways to improve functionality and push the boundaries of web design. His expertise in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript allows him to create visually engaging and technically sound web solutions.
Life At Home
When he’s not coding, Craig can be found making various kinds of music, but mostly ambient, in his home studio. He plays multiple instruments and even has a band with his kids. He’s also a woodturner, chess enthusiast, and lifelong Philly sports fan, always cheering on the Eagles, Phillies, Sixers, and Flyers.
But most of all, he loves spending time with his wife, four daughters, two cats, and dog. They love spending time outdoors, going to zoos and museums, local parks, or just playing in the yard. His dream is to one day retire and never have to check his email again.
