Pat Dryburgh

I’ve been building on the web for over twenty years. In 1999, I built and hosted my first website, producepat.com, using a simple drag-and-drop website builder called Cool Page.1

In the time since, I’ve worked with some great teams and clients including Blanc Media, Ensibuuko, Platero Visual, Arc’teryx, Stantec, Carly Thomas, Tim Latham, Fusion Ads, Corona Light, Pepsi Max, Ongo, Agent Inbox, Perch, Finstripe, Brewhouse, Steamclock, Grooveshark, CocoaTech, QuickCal, Fraser Speirs, Lake Steilacoom Improvement Club, Viral Foundry, UpThemes, Adobe, Thorel Woodworking, Patrick Rhone, Ethical Coffee Chain, Rye 51, and Make IT.

My work has been featured in Beautiful Pixels, TechCrunch, Gigaom, VentureBeat, and the iOS App Store.

Colophon

This site is designed and developed in Sublime Text, tested in various web browsers, statically generated by Jekyll, and hosted on Github Pages. The typography is set in Freight Sans and is served by Adobe Fonts.

Blog posts & photos are published from an iPhone 13 Pro Max using Drafts, Working Copy, and Shortcuts.

Project Scheduling, Time Tracking, and Invoicing

I use Cushion to plan projects, track my time, and invoice my clients. It’s the best tool I’ve found for managing my freelance business. I’m also using Cushion to display my availability throughout this site. Like right now,

  1. I’ve tried to find some form of proof of this claim, but neither the Wayback Machine nor any WhoIs directory I’ve found has a record of this. I’m assuming this is because Cool Page offered the domain name to me for free in exchange for allowing them to put ads on my nascent pro-produce website.
