Glenn Todd

Glenn did a fantastic job helping build and realise our vision for the Australia Climate Adaptation Map. He is a quick problem solver, provides useful insight on his processes/how they impact website-user workflow, and is able to very easily recognise ways to improve, optimise and enhance the site. Can recommend if you need help creating a website for a campaign that is easy to use and runs well :))

The ActionSkills team are passionate about empowering change-makers to use technology to support their work. We are grateful to Glenn for helping us design and develop a website that can support our work to transform legal education to make it more ‘climate conscious’ and teaching us the skills to manage and update it going forward

It was an absolute pleasure to work with Glenn. Glenn proved to be reliable, responsive, and exceptionally skilled in his work. As a small volunteer-based NGO, we often faced challenges with meeting deadlines, but Glenn’s flexibility and understanding made a huge difference. He was always patient and adaptable, ensuring that our project moved forward despite the occasional delays on our end.

Glenn’s work was not only high-quality but also excellent value for money. We received three quotes for the project, and Glenn’s was by far the best, both in terms of cost and the level of service offered. Throughout the process, he demonstrated professionalism, attention to detail, and a genuine commitment to delivering results.

We could not have asked for a better partner in this work, and we are grateful for his contribution to the success of our project. I would wholeheartedly recommend Glenn’s services to anyone looking for a skilled, reliable, and understanding professional.

When our conservation group needed a website built, Glenn at ActionSkills was an easy choice. With loads of experience, and always able to make himself available to speak with us and sort out our questions and problems, we found the whole experience easy, fun and quick. I’m happy to recommmend Glenn to others as he is great to deal with, knows his stuff and comes at a very reasonable price! Thanks Glenn.

Brilliant service, extremely easy to work with & great follow up support.We love our new website & can actually navigate it now with Glenn’s help. 10/10 Would recommend Gippsland web design.

Professional quick service. The design was tailored to our needs and just what we are after to boost our business

It was excellent to work with ActionSkills on the rollout of a new CRM system for the Australian Democracy Network. We are a small organisation and needed assistance in working out the best tool to meet our needs as well as implementing it across our systems. Glenn is a pleasure to work with – very thorough, helpful, and always up for sharing his expertise. Actionskills play such an important role in our advocacy landscape, bringing technology solutions and campaign outcomes together.

Glenn worked closely with us to understand our needs and skilled up the team through the implementation phase so that we have the in-house know how to keep the machine running smoothly.

Thanks team!

ActionSkills designed and delivered a revamped website for ABC Alumni. Working with voluntary organisations is not an easy task, and Action Skills clearly understood the difficulties of engaging volunteers who had limited experience in providing clear briefs and direction. The web designers also encountered changes of directions, as different committee members reviewed the role and function of the website and suggested changes. All of this was dealt with good grace and understanding.

Through this process Action Skills was able to guide our organisation in thinking out of the box, keeping the design simple and audience focused. It was a valuable process for our organisation to clarify our role and purpose, and what we wanted the website to achieve.

The redesign of our logo, led by Action Skills was a real success and genuinely appreciated by our members.

Action Skills worked seamlessly and cooperatively with our website administrator to ensure that the website, once designed, was effectively populated.

The process was not without teething problems. It was a low budget task and the designers kept to the budget within reason, despite changes in brief that occurred during the process. However, it necessarily meant that the delivery time was pushed well out as the initial timeframe was affected by changes requested by the organisation as well as other scheduled commitments of Action Skills staff. However, the timeline was cooperatively updated between the designers and our organisation and, as deadlines were not critical, we were able to mutually negotiate completion times.

I would highly recommend working with Action Skills. Their approach was cooperative and ethical, matching the values of our own organisation.

ActionSkills provided an interactive service in a friendly, patient and professional manner. The process enabled all those who were interested to become sufficiently skilled to continue up-dating our site, with professional back-up, if needed. Jennie Stuart, Humanists Victoria

Glenn recently set up my business website for me, Never having done this before and with very limited computer skills glenn guided me through the process in a prompt and professional manner delivering exactly what I required. Outstanding service thanks highly recommended

The ActionSkills team are passionate about empowering change-makers to use technology to support their work. We are grateful to Glenn for helping us design and develop a website that can support our work to transform legal education to make it more ‘climate conscious’ and teaching us the skills to manage and update it going forward

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!

It was great working with Glenn and ActionSkills. Glen’s skills and patience was instrumental in my experience of making my website. His knowledge of project management, web design, as well as campaigning and activism meant a lot of things didn’t have to be explained. I highly recommend ActionSkills for your next website project.

Glenn is a top notch web developer more interested in partnering with your org to make a greater impact than only making money, which is refreshing to see. He is honest, transparent and reliable, delivering what he set out to achieve exceeding our expectations her at Farmer’s Footprint Australia. Highly recommended!

We went to ActionSkills to sort out our dysfunctional website. ActionSkills are amazing help for NFP orgs like us.

I approached Glenn Todd and Action Skills with a request to add an online store to my website, so that I could sell my Eucalypts books online. Glenn recommended building a website that would not only meet my immediate needs but also accurately represent the nature, scope and direction of the business, Seeds of Gippsland. His advice to work on clarifying my business goals echoed that of my business mentor, which I thought a good sign!

I didn’t need much convincing that we needed to completely replace my inadequate old website, and got to work on defining goals and supplying an assortment of images, business information and hastily-written soul-searching paragraphs. Glenn worked his magic with my material, incorporating it into a new website that is as functional as it is pleasing to look at.

Watching the website take shape helped me to get a clearer picture of Seeds of Gippsland and the direction it needs to go, and fine-tuning the content became easy. The website still serves as a reference point to keep us on track, and I’m sure it will continue to be an integral part of the business as it develops further.

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.

As grassroots peace activists, working with ActionSkills on the redesign of the Timbuktu Center Think tank website was a game changer for us. Glenn’s work was insightful, design-thinking, and intuitive, which helped us in developing a website to expand our work online and have an international profile. I would recommend them for your website work and any Digital and website development work.

Glenn is an inspiration to both our generation and future generations. His passion and dedication to supporting and assisting grassroots organizations in making the world a better place to live are greatly needed.

Glenn and team did a great job helping us to improve our SEO.

Working with ActionSkills for the redesign of the Declassified Australia website, we found Glenn’s work to be insightful, forward-thinking and intuitive to help us build a platform to expand our investigative journalism. I’d recommend them for your website work.

Supports the grassroots political scene in so-called Aus. Very responsive and helpful expertise. Pls support.

Easy and empowering, understood our needs well.

Action Skills is a brilliant crew of radical web whizzes that keep a whole host of campaign websites up and running- a critical contribution to the struggle for a better world. They are also very easy to work with and learn from.

Glenn and the ActionSkills team created the Change Agency’s new website. They have a deep understanding of the not for profit sector and the unique needs of public interest organisations. They anticipated our strengths and constraints and tailored solutions accordingly. Creative, intuitive, resourceful.

Rogaining Victoria is a small not for profit and Glenn from ActionSkills helped us develop our new website. It is a vast improvement on the old site and came in on budget. Implementation took longer than we expected but that is because we could not keep up the pace needed. ActionSkills were patient and flexible in meeting our time constraints and answering our questions. We have a site that we feel we can keep current without a lot of ongoing assistance

ActionSkills are the best!!! I first met Glenn Todd a few years ago with the “mad” idea of creating a national pesticide map. Not only did he have all the skills to pull the map framework together, he made it in a way that was simple enough for me (a computer tragic) to add data to. We’ve hit around 90,000 page views now and also added 4 more maps highlighting drinking water, PFAS chemicals and even koalas. ActionSkills have also been patient in dealing with me and have helped with numerous updates to the sites as well. 5 stars from me

I worked with Glenn to set up a website. He was great to work with – engaged with our stakeholders in ways that were respectful, was creative, patient and prompt. Did I say patient? I so appreciated his willingness to teach me how to do most of it myself. thanks Glenn.

Glenn is not only a skilled IT professional, but he also understands campaigning – which was vital for our project. With Glenn’s steadfast commitment to co-learning, we’ve boosted our own skills and understanding in website design and functionality, and been challenged about our assumptions. Glenn’s work has taken our website capabilities to the next level, without breaking the bank

Glenn Todd was pivotal to the launching and branding of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear weapons (ICAN) in the lead up to launching the campaign from Australia in 2007. He provided essential training in Drupal for our staff, helped coordinate and design our initial website and has provided us with further training and advice over the past four years. He is approachable, professional and very adept at sharing skills and knowledge. We appreciate Glenns work immensely.

I approached Glenn to provide some training on the technical aspects ofsetting up WordPress for the new UnitingCare website.

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.

Dvize developed our website for Changing Places, a project advocating for fully accessible public toilets for people with severe and profound disability. Dvize really made the effort to understand our goals and requirements, offering sound professional advice during every step of the process. They worked flexibly and responded to all our requests, questions and changes and delivered the project on time despite the tight turnaround time and complex nature of the project.

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

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!).

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. There’s no way we could have got this outcome without you – we can’t thank you enough!

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.

Thank you so much Glenn, you did a great job! So appreciative of your combination of digital skills and radical values

Just want to add profound gratitude to Glenn at Dvize for his terrific guidance as he set up and launched journeystowordspublishing.com for us. It was impressive to watch the magician at work. This is the sort of behind-the-scenes help small business needs, to keep up with the web-world and concentrate on selling good books.

I asked Glen to update my website. I now have a great contemporary website that quickly conveys what I am about. Glen has awesome insight and understanding of design, marketing and google.

Foundation House worked with Dvize to set up a new website in WordPress. We found them to be a very straightforward, responsive agency who have the ability to simplify the complicated process of building a new website and train our in house team during the process.

Dvize are excellent project managers, and their progress meetings were a very important part of the process to ensure that the project was on track and deadlines did not slip. Their organized approach meant that our project was kept within budget and that we worked to our timeframes, and in turn we were able to meet our goals.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Dvize and the work that they do. They work to very high standards, have a frank approach and a highly skilled team.
