About Mark

Mark brings a wealth of life and Christian ministry experience to his role as Spiritual Director and Supervisor, including many years of communicating Christian spirituality in the context of religious education in government (and non-government) schools through theatre and story-telling. More recently, he has spent a number of years living and working in a remote Aboriginal community in the western desert region, and living with his wife as house parents in a residential drug and alcohol rehabilitation program at Tumbelin Farm in the Adelaide Hills. He has a long-term interest in contemplative prayer practices, and is extremely interested in the ways in which human beings experience God as active and meaningful in their lives. Mark graduated from the Spiritual Direction formation program at Tabor College, Adelaide with a Diploma of Theology. He draws a lot of inspiration from Ignatian spirituality and has been formed as a Giver of the full Spiritual Exercises of St Ignatius. He has also completed a Graduate Certificate in Professional Supervision through the Emmaus program at Heart of Life and the University of Divinity in Melbourne.

Built my first site in 2000 and steadily learned what it takes to make websites work. Dabbled in WordPress back then, still do. Since building my first Squarespace site in 2016, I’ve been impressed with the relatively streamlined approach to website design and development that Squarespace offers compared to WordPress. SEO was a major challenge from the start — I’ve spent a lot of time keeping up with what’s required to get sites working, ranking well on a SERP. I have confidence with what Squarespace offers for SEO.

Having worked for more than 10 years in the web team of an inland, regional university in Australia and dealing with frustrations that come with working for a large corporate enterprise, the idea of setting up my own web design business became my goal.

Set up my business in late 2017. Opted for a sea change, too: I now live on Coochiemudlo Island 45 minutes from Brisbane. Love working from home. Love working for small business clients. Still get casual work with the university.

Challenges? The main one is pricing my work for small businesses. Doing quality work, doing the research to be up to date in the industry, takes time; it’s hard to factor in this time to my pricing while being competitive in the market and affordable for many small businesses.
