I help small businesses, non-profits, and community groups get more out of their websites, marketing, and online tools.

Beyond websites, I also create magic through sculpture and public performance.

Testimonials

Glenn is an excellent strategist when it comes to web design. The workshops with him were incredibly useful in refining what we wanted our website to do in the context of our broader organisational objectives.

The finished product is excellent. Overall our team is very grateful to have been able to draw on Glenn’s extensive experience in not only web design, but user experience and CRM integration. Thank you Glenn!

I appreciated Action Skills’ strategic approach to website building; the obvious experience and technical expertise necessary to develop user-friendly pages; and their willingness and ability to answer questions, respond to requests and provide instructions on how to use software.

They will be my go-to people for any future website and automation needs.

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.

I work on traditional lands of the Brataualung clan of the Gunaikurnai people and respect that sovereignty of those lands was never ceded. I pay respect to Elders, past and present, and acknowledge the pivotal role that Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander people continue to play within the Australian community.
