Glenn Todd is a delightful Master Geek. His approach logically and systematically demystifies all things internet in the context of strategic, goal-focused communications.

Author of Guarding Eden, co-founder and co-director of CLIMARTE, ClimActs & LIVE

Thank you so much Glenn for your patient, positive and thorough training and expertise! We were able to get SENVIC up and running within a few weeks and use the builder with ease. We feel well-equipped to manage our own website in the long term (with a little bit of help here and there!).
Maria McConkey

Communications Manager at SENVIC

As a small non-profit organisation, we needed a low-cost no-frills website on which to publish an educational resource. Glenn understood exactly what we needed and set about creating it. He worked above and beyond requirements particularly in negotiating with other IT professionals on our behalf. His patience with our shifting deadlines and changing requirements was stellar. Thanks to Glenn, we now have an excellent on-line resource that we know is contributing to improved circumstances for many in our community.
Jackie Jenkins

Communications Project Officer - Seniors Rights Victoria

As well as being clever and skilled he is a helluva lovely guy! A pleasure to be around and very good with dynamics and people. Highly recommended.
Liz Remmerswaal Hughes

Peace Worker/Campaign and Communications Consultant

Glenn is a good presenter, he is very knowledgeable and gave us lots of useful information and skills, particularly with social media
Cate Adams

Digital Campaigner: Friends of the Earth FNQ

Glenn’s knowledge is infinite, his training methods are concise, very time efficient yet extremely thorough. He is very personable, provides the perfect learning environment and always provides a comprehensive answer to any question. I highly recommend Glenn to anyone considering participating in any of his training courses.

Glenn knows his work inside out. He is an exceptionally capable and personal trainer. He has a strong learning pace so much content is covered providing great value for money whilst all participant skill levels are catered for.

Dan Purdey

Professional Facilitator Trainer + Actor + Scientist

Glenn was involved in the early stages of our business establishment and was invaluable in the development of various company web sites and communication materials.

I found Glenn to be highly professional, reliable, honest and committed to achieving positive outcomes.

He was very good at communicating complex issues and developing a solution that draws on a wide variety of technical options.

Dan Atkins

Managing Director - Shaper Group

Glenn has a natural understanding of client’s wants and needs. As a client you always know what you want as an overall finished product, but are less aware of the individual components required to reach that goal, or which areas should be areas of critical focus.

In this regard Glenn bought great clarity to our overall impact including ensuring our website was built with both traffic and functionality in mind.

His extensive industry knowledge built upon his own creative nature and design background guarantees a unique approach that cannot be easily replicated.

As clients we were delighted with the end result of our project and are extremely grateful for Glenn’s professional nature and transparent method of working and innate integrity.

Yvette “Vetty” Duncan

Operations Manager

I owe my understanding of coding and website development to the wonderful sessions run by Glenn. I would recommend his trainings to anyone keen to build their online skill base.
Phil Evans

Development Coordinator: Friends of the Earth

Thank you so much Glenn for all your help making Cairns and Far North Environment Centre a swish bang new website and database to boot. Great service, great price, really understands the needs of the non-profit and activist world as well as all the tech. Flexible, responsive and fast worker. Theres no way we could have got this outcome without you we cant thank you enough!
Bess Murphy

Community Engagement Coordinator at Cairns and Far North Environment Centre (CAFNEC)

I have had the pleasure of working with Glenn Todd and Dvize numerous times, and highly recommend him both as a Trainer and Mentor in online services, as well as a strategic advisor in content creation, security and social media.

Glenn has been invaluable in providing leading edge and creative approaches to campaign work, coupled with practical online training, webpage design and social media training for MFC staff development. Glenn has been central to the most effective online work I have undertaken with Markets for Change, Conservation Council of WA and the Victorian Coal campaign.

Louise Morris

Campaigns Manager - Markets For Change

Fantastic in helping CLIMARTE create our WordPress based website. From understanding our needs, suggesting useful strategies and implementing the whole package, Glenn and Debbie had the knowledge and patience to deal with our non-technical minds and deliver a site that did just what we wanted.
Guy Abrahams

CEO & Co-founder CLIMARTE

During Glenn’s three day WordPress training I went from not know the first thing about web design to having the confidence to build a website for our new cooperative cleaning business. The emphasis on strategy as well as the technical aspects was great, and is helping us build a website that won’t just look awesome, but be functional and user friendly too.
Eleanor Coffey

Redgum Cleaning Cooperative

Glenn is a massive computer nerd and thats why he is an excellent person to learn wordpress or any computer related subject off. He offers in-depth insights into the virtual world and breathes life into what would otherwise be an incredibly boring subject. Thanks a lot Glenn for sharing your expertise and guiding us through the ins and outs of webdesign.
Nimai Dawe

Glenn has a unique skill-set that covers all bases and makes working with him a pleasure – up-to-date technical knowledge, a passion for social media strategy, a commitment to training, and a strong design background. Combine this with his amazing patience, support and willingness to share knowledge and you have a service that is second-to-none. Glenn’s commitment to various environmental and not-for-profit initiatives also speaks volumes about his principled approach to business and it was a delight to see this translated into his day-to-day working practices.
Uschi Steedman

Communications consultant & facilitator

Their focus on collaboration and training us meant we could pick and choose the parts we could work on ourselves and get Glenn on board to code the tricky stuff. We are very happy with the final product, and have received positive feedback from the teachers that use the site.
Kathryn McGrath

Digital Producer - Edunity

If you want to gain capacity to manage a website – confidently, with clarity of purpose and the right level of skill – and keep up a passion for your site – hire Glenn Todd. How does he work with his clients? Strategically and patiently, delivering milestones right on time.
Annie Bolitho

Facilitator

We had big ideas for our website and a small budget. Glenn worked above and beyond the requirements of our contract to help us to achieve our goals. Thanks to Glenn we now have a website that is fresh and functional and that we can easily manage and update ourselves.

I found Glenn to be highly professional, patient and incredibly helpful, passionate and enthusiastic.

Elaine Thomas

Secretary - International Ranger Federation

Glenn offered a practical and thoughtful approach to building my website. I needed guidance and he helped me through it. I can recommend this for people who are looking for ways to learn to how to be independent in managing a digital project, in a supported environment.
Lizzie OShea

Lawyer

Glenn built the Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre’s new website which is a fully functional site with online event bookings and room calendars. Glenn listened carefully to our needs and delivered a product that was in line with our budget and then taught us how to maintain it. We still use Glenn on an as needs basis to troubleshoot and when we want to make modifications to the website. I recommend Glenn as a friendly, technically competent and experienced web designer and look forward to continuing to work with him. See less
Shima Ibuki

Centre Manager at Surrey Hills Neighbourhood Centre

I was thoroughly impressed by the almost immediate understanding of project requirements, next-level attention to detail and general intuitive and thoughtful approach to not only the project itself but, to the site we made (in record speed, mind you).

The intuitive and consistently can-do approach is very refreshing and so very rare in this world! Simplicity, creativity, resourcefulness and an earnest approach are what stood out for me, and a high-level of integrity and care for the work in general – absolutely no detail was left untouched and everything I wanted, you made happen. It’s rare to find any of those qualities in the industry so the combination of the above is a beautiful thing, and as a result, so is the website.

Emily Alexandra

International Communications Coordinator - Deakin University

I highly recommend Glenn, his knowledge about this arena is vast and based in practical application. And as importantly his intentions are to support community by building their capacity to flourish.

Im lucky enough to be trained by Glenn in wordpress and online strategy. His training is well structured , practical and caters to a diverse audience, always responsive to their needs and level of experience. I highly recommend his training programs

Maria Simonelli

Partnership Facilitator

Glenn has calm approach to his work and spent time on website strategy and understanding exactly what I wanted to achieve both from a training perspective and in terms of site functionality.

Glenn guided me through the complexities of server management, security issues, SEO and CSS coding for custom design. He has a flexible work approach, meaning he can schedule times to meet face to face, respond to email or set up a conversation via Skype.

I highly recommend Glenn from Dvize as excellent designer, trainer and strategist. His portfolio says it all

Kirstie McLaren

Manager of Marketing, Communications & Fundraising - UnitingCare

Glenn is a reliable, creative and consistent professional. He has a great deal of experience in all things web design and has a really approachable and friendly demeanour. He answered all my questions, made great suggestions and despite working exclusively through emails and Skype helped create a wonderful product. I can’t recommend him enough.
Jo Szczepanska

Freelance Designer

After talking to many web designers, we had no hesitation in choosing Glenn above the rest. It was clear from the beginning that Glenn understood the ethos of our work, and how to build a site for our needs and our audience. Glenn ran trainings for our staff to build their skills to autonomously manage our website. This was important to us given we are a cash and time-strapped NGO and often need to update information from day to day.

Glenn worked us through design, best practice, taxonomy, uploading, backing up and content management and provided excellent advice on the accessibility of our site. Glenn is approachable, adaptable and speaks our language. Glenn also provided excellent advice on what to look for in a host, and on all the extras.

The Victorian Refugee Health Network recommends Glenn to anyone who is looking for a designer that understands the heart and soul of what you do.
