About

I’m Glen Vanderpost.

A web designer and digital project builder based in Muskoka. I create custom websites for local businesses, professional services, creators, and independent products.

I combine several years of website project experience with modern AI-assisted development, allowing me to work efficiently while personally directing every project — from strategy and structure through design, content, testing, and launch.

I started Pondering Phoenix to offer businesses a more personal alternative to the traditional agency process: direct communication, practical recommendations, clear expectations, and a website designed around what customers actually need.

How I work

Personal, practical, and clear about what happens next

You work with me, directly

Every email, plan, design decision, and revision comes from the same person — the one building your website.

Modern tools, human direction

AI-assisted development makes the build efficient. The strategy, structure, design, content, and testing are directed personally, every time.

Grounded in this region

Based in Muskoka, I understand businesses that serve residents, visitors, and seasonal customers — and websites that work for all three.

Beyond client work

Not just websites

Web design is the commercial side of what I do, but the same curiosity feeds a wider bench of creative work — apps, games, brands, and digital products. That experimentation is where a lot of practical skill comes from: product thinking, interface design, and the habit of testing ideas against real use.
