About
Chris Huber – Captain, Music Journalist, & Digital Powerhouse
I build custom websites, automation systems, and digital strategies that actually work—whether you’re a small business or a creative entrepreneur.
But I’m not just another web developer. My background spans music journalism, SEO, AI automation, and even sailing—a mix of real-world hustle and technical expertise that helps my clients get an edge.
From DIY Music Journalism to Digital Innovation
I started Extra Chill in my college dorm in 2011—just a music blog written by a kid obsessed with documenting music culture. Over time, I:
- Built Extra Chill into one of the leading independent music platforms, reaching 300,000 monthly visitors at its peak.
- Landed interviews with major artists and covered SXSW, Bonnaroo, and other top festivals.
- Mastered SEO & content strategy, scaling niche websites into passive revenue machines (until Google’s algorithm updates killed the game).
- Built automation tools that transformed how I create content, run social media, and scale websites.
That experience taught me how to grow digital platforms from scratch, which is exactly what I now do for my clients.
A Captain on the Water & in the Digital Space
Before I mastered SEO and automation, I mastered something else: sailing. I’ve been on the water since I was 9 years old, and I hold a 100-Ton Master Captain’s License with a sailing endorsement.
For years, I ran commercial sailing vessels and learned firsthand how to navigate under pressure. That same mindset—adaptability, precision, problem-solving—is what I bring to my work in web development and digital strategy.
Now, I combine my maritime knowledge with my digital expertise to build custom, high-performance websites for the marine industry—helping captains, charter businesses, and boat companies modernize their online presence.
Why Work With Me?
I’m not some corporate agency. I’m a one-man digital powerhouse who gets real results using cutting-edge tools, smart automation, and strategic design. I move fast, I innovate constantly, and I build digital assets that actually drive business.
If you’re looking for:
- A high-impact website designed for growth, without the fluff.
- SEO & automation strategies that turn your content into a traffic machine.
- A trusted expert who understands music, small businesses, and the marine industry inside and out.
- A no-BS approach to building custom, scalable digital solutions.
Then let’s talk.
