About Patrick Glynn
I didn’t get into design to be an artist. To me,
an artist creates things to evoke emotion.
Being a designer goes a step further than that,
not only evoking emotion but making a reaction.
Hi, I’m Patrick Glynn, a Website Designer and Front-End Developer living in
JHB South Africa, with a BA in Graphic Design and Multimedia, I have
been working on the Web since 2005, and enjoy every minute of it.
I create user friendly, creative and corporate websites built
according to Web standards and nurture them into an
effective online presence, see my process below.
In my free time
I enjoy spending time with friends, travelling, reading books, playing
squash & browsing websites. I have a passion for technology,
shiny gadgetry & inspiring design work. I also enjoy gaming,
watching stuff and would probably perish without music!
The process
Planning
The foundation of any successful website is good planning, this phase involves information gathering, site objectives, information architecture, client & user requirements and wireframes for medium-large websites.
Design
The design or ‘look & feel’ is created keeping in-line with the information from the planning process to create a design that is usable, looks great and works for you and your users.
Coding
I develop Websites using XHTML & PHP for markup, CSS for styling, JavaScript for interaction and MySQL for data storage. I also use WordPress & Expression Engine for content management systems.
Promotion
It’s no use having a beautiful, usable website that works if no-one can find it. Using SEO, Google Analytics and Social Media Marketing your web site will be in the spotlight.
