he WordPress Training that Glenn offered was informative, brilliant, and easily accessible for everyone. It has given me an excellent foundation in WordPress that is invaluable.

These skills will provide me with the creative and functional freedom I require for a broad range of projects.
Excellent and very accessible training! Highly recommended.

I attended Glenn’s 3 day WordPress Training in November 2014 and was very impressed by the speed and effectiveness of the training in building my knowledge and confidence for website management and online strategy. I am very happy with the training as a someone who is about to start a business of my own and as a community volunteer, these skills are extemely useful for community groups and non-for-profit organisations who need a communications or campaign boost. I feel that Glenn did a great job of desmystifying online strategy through experiential workshop design and I feel more than ready to apply the skills I learned from this short yet intensive training. Highly recommended.

Glenn took our organisation from a well intentioned, work-outcome driven group to an organisation with a professional and leading presence that is felt and that cuts through in advancing the prospects for renewable energy generation and decarbonisation of the transport sector.
Glenn has worked on various apects of our communications strategy. He assisted us with our branding policy, allowing our organisation to focus our messaging in a clear and professional way.
Basically Glenn had the answers. He was analytical and could understand exactly what we were trying to achieve, and then he put his expertise to make us achieve easier and faster.
As well as on the Strategic level, Glenn has also supplied production services, such as producing our most important project to date, our 100% Renewable Energy plan. Glenn has influenced our work with a corporate branding style that fits in with all sectors and creates the space for the major policy shift and infrastructure spending we are looking for.

Tyrone Preyser
LinkedInBusiness Process Capability Manager
Glenn was superb to work with, right from the early concept stage which was basically a meeting in a pub telling him our very high level ideas – to finally deployment of our fully functioning WordPress internet site (with full online video functionality)
The whole process of taking myself and my business partner along the journey of what Glenn was intending to build was brilliant, so we could see for ourselves how the final site would look and function.
Lastly, Glenn’s rates were very reasonable considering the quality of the work performed and the timeliness of when it was delivered.

Phoebe Yu
LinkedInFounder & CEO of ettitude
Glenn was superb to work with, right from the start, he had given me so many useful strategic ideas on how to reshape our website, our brand look and to build a community for our customers. The shopping cart software we are using is new to him too, but he mastered it in such a short time and customized it so beautifully for me that we had been show cased as a live store example which bring my website huge traffic.
Glenn is not only very creative in web designer, he is also an expert in online marketing, the strategy he implemented for our website worked so well that it doubled our traffic within 1 week.
Lastly, Glenn’s rates were very reasonable considering the quality of the work performed and the timeliness of when it was delivered. And all the useful suggestions and technique he taught me are priceless!
Working with Glenn has been an outright pleasure and i will keep on working with him on other new projects and recommend him to everyone i know!

Dimity Hawkins
LinkedInICAN Australia Board
Glenn conducted a three day WordPress Accelerator training module in November 2014. I attended, keen to learn more on WordPress and to gain a better understanding of the basics of social media management. Glenn provides a structured and logical but stimulating workshop which easily traverses a range of needs from participants, from small NGOs through to business people. His dedicated focus on messaging, developing brand and fine tuning your communications along with his great dedication to skill sharing on the technical details is a rare combination and makes his training incredibly useful. I highly recommend Glenn to anyone wanting to advance your skills and take control of your own messaging for your campaign, business or even your own blogger aspirations.

Yvette “Vetty” Duncan
LinkedInOperations Manager
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.

Emily Pigdon
LinkedInCommercial Marketing Manager
Environmental Earth Sciences International engaged Glenn to redevelop our group of websites into two functional and efficient sites. He worked very closely with us from the early development and planning stages right through to sending the sites live to make sure that all of our objectives were achieved. Glenn always took the time to talk through any design or technical issues including offering training so we can manage the sites ourselves.
Glenn responded very quickly to our timelines throughout the projects and ensured that the websites were delivered in line with our schedule and budget. His approach was consistently professional and was always willing to offer help and advice. I would be more than happy to work with Glenn on future projects and would recommend Dvize to anyone looking for a creative new website.

May Maloney
LinkedInHealth Sector Development and Policy Officer (foundation House)
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 the work of Dvize to anyone who is looking for smart designers to build a smart website; and recommends Glenn to anyone who is looking for a designer that understands the heart and soul of what you do.

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.

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