About

I am Werner Glinka, a web developer who found refuge in Minneapolis, Minnesota after spending time in the vibrant tech hub of Silicon Valley. My passion lies in crafting top-notch websites for a diverse range of clients, both established corporate entities and new startups, around the globe. My expertise extends to building static websites as well as working with popular content management systems like WordPress and others.

I frequently collaborate with design companies, assuming the role of a technical expert and implementer, complementing their creative expertise. Together, we strive to create seamless digital experiences that captivate audiences and deliver exceptional results.

One of my ongoing commitments is actively contributing to the open-source project called Metalsmith. This endeavor allows me to give back to the developer community by sharing my knowledge, insights, and expertise. I take pride in authoring and maintaining multiple plugins that enhance the capabilities of Metalsmith. If you're interested, I invite you to explore my projects and witness the fruits of my labor firsthand.

  • Werner created a website for my company EngagePoint. He was terrific to work with – highly creative and sensitively priced. Under pressure of a tight deadline, he was able to come up with a beautifully designed solution. Werner has a unique talent of being both a creative artist and a technically superb web designer. He is also a wise businessman who knows how to listen to a client and how to be a step ahead, suggesting implementing functions the website will need in the future as my business grows.

  • Ever since I started working with Werner I have been impressed by his knowledge, skills and sensitivity in creating websites for myself and for the group of GermanAmericanArtists. His immediate and intuitive understanding of a project -and reaching beyond its framework - make communication easy and enjoyable and are keeping our co-operation successful.

  • Werner is a great guy to build a site with. He is technically skilled and fast, but also gets design, and can see his work from the perspective of the end user.

    Marcus Gosling

    Co-founder, IMVU.com

  • Hereby we want to thank the Busse Design team for the outstanding job on the development and making this website a reality, including implementing the crazy 'never-been-there-before' design ideas and meeting our project timeline. I want to thank, in particular, Werner for making the impossible possible. This site was a complex beast with a short implementation timeline. I appreciate that Werner joined in early in the project with advice, always thinking ahead -- while at the same time keeping a keen eye on the launch deadline. We could not have done this without him!

    Corinna Krueger

    Head of Marketing, Instart Logic

  • Werner Glinka has an eye of an artist, the mind of an engineer and the ear of a marketer. By bringing together technical, design and marketing skills, Werner creates sites that look beautiful, are easy to use and drive sales and marketing programs. He listens, then gives you suggestions and recommendations, discussing the pros and cons. As a client, you can be as collaborative or as hands off as you’d like.

  • Werner created the Pacific Art League's website. His design sense and instinct are terrific--he created a site that retained the artistic sensibility but also incorporated the marketing outreach and understood the character of our audience. He was easy to work with--he listens, and he is direct.

    Claudia Morgan

    Former President and Executive Director, Pacific Art league

  • We consulted with Werner prior to starting our web site project and he explained clearly what we needed to consider to ensure flexibility and ease of updating for future growth. He then worked with our visual designer to implement the website on time and on budget. Werner was proactive, suggested visual improvements and was a pleasure to work with. We continue using him for adding site functionality as our business expands and I would recommend Werner to anyone who is planning their digital marketing strategy.

  • For our latest website update we contracted with Werner again. This included the implementation of a consistent design for our Joomla and Wordpress based web properties. He completed the project on time, on budget and the implementation was true to the design. Throughout the project he communicated progress clearly, suggested improvements and was very easy to work with. He is very professional and definitely an expert in his domain. We will use his services again in the future.
