I would highly recommend Shawn! I contacted him the other day when I needed help speeding up my site with W3 Total Cache and using a CDN. I was really struggling with the setup of this plugin and configuring it with MaxCDN. Shawn pretty much got back to me immediately and within a day had my site running lightning fast. He also helped me with some other plugins and a number of very useful recommendations with both my Thesis site and SEO. He also helped me with moving a couple sites from Godaddy to Host Gator. All this at a fair price and very fast service. I again would recommend Shawn and I am sure I will be using his services in the future as well!
Here’s all I need to say about Shawn.
I hired Shawn over a year ago to get a small website up and running. He did far more work than I paid him to do. Just the other day my site was hacked and shut down. I called a brother with a web company, the head of a local SEO company who I’ve done some work for, and sent an email off to Shawn. Shawn was the first person to respond – from half way across the planet – and by the next day had my site back online.

My Story:
Ex-Mortgage Banker who took off for Souh America in 2005. In 2007 everything went to crap so I thought I would start a travel guide website and new venture. Sounds easy, right? Wrong! I was another one of those “me too” wanna-be website entrepreneurs with grand visions and no technical skills to match. So, what did I do? I threw alot of money at a pretty custom design and crossed my fingers. The website got cast out into the oblivion of all the other wasted code in the internet universe and I was there scratching my head? What the hell just happened?
Phase 2:
I found Thesis. Now I have a real tool that help me pull my website out of the abyss and into the light. All is saved, right? Wrong! If you are new to blogging, websites, general code building, etc. it is like handing a child a set of golf clubs.
The equalizer is the education. That is where the help from this forum is invaluable and where Shawn excels. Not only does he address the “roadblocks”, he takes the time to show you how to use your new tool. Does it happen overnight? No! However, in time, Shawn will clearly show you how to gain control back over your website by correctly using Thesis as it should be used. Even Tiger Woods had a teacher…
If you are looking to gain insight and understanding of Thesis, get in contact with Shawn. The bottom line is that he takes pride in his work and takes it to the next level. That is rare to find in today’s world.
Thanks Shawn and I look forward to working with you in the future.

Thanks again Shawn.
Shawn did a great job from scratch, I made it frustrating for him as I was not clear in my mind of what I really wanted. However he is patient, fair and I am certain is always available to answer questions, provide encouragement and help out at any time regardless of where he is in the world.

Optimized Security, Images, and for Speed. SEO Education. Fixed a Featured post and Thumbnail problem.
I have had a WordPress blog for sometime and I recently transferred to Thesis from another theme. I have basic skills and was able to set up most of my blog myself, but when I hit the edge of my knowledge I got stuck pretty quickly. It became frustrating, time consuming and unproductive. I posted a few questions on the forums and in the process came across Shawn’s post for Thesis support. I emailed him with my questions, got a very quick reply and a good quote. He got to work and what a joy he is.
The main issue on the site was somewhere between the Thesis code and my host, Shawn was able to identify the problem and my host was able to make the required changes. I certainly could not have fixed this problem on my own. Shawn then went on to optimize and set up my blog so its running beautifully. It is a great relief and my site is now an absolute pleasure to use.
Shawn was great to work with; clear communication, quick response times, reliable, persistent, knowledgeable and lovely. His prices are very reasonable for the work he does and the effort he makes. I highly recommend him and I look forward to working with him again. Its very good to know that help is available if and when I need it future.
Shawn, you are a treasure, thank you so much for all your work.
I highly recommend Shawn. He’s helped me out a great deal, and has been great to work with. Very fast service. He saved me a lot of time. Thanks Shawn. And best of luck to you in your future business!

I posted a plea for help on the forum on speeding up my website and boy did I get more than I asked for!!! Shawn answered within an hour or so and has continued to show that kind of quick response. Yesterday my blog was slow, my categories were broken and I was super blue. This morning I got up and my site is lightning fast and everything is fixed. From making my site faster to great suggestions about plugins and even SEO, Shawn has been dream to work with throughout the process! I cannot recommend him highly enough to thank him for the great work! I will be using him on an ongoing basis and recommending him to clients who need programming and hosting help on their sites. His quick response time and super fair pricing make this a no-brainer. THANKS SHAWN!
Shawn,
Your work is as you promised. Pretty soon, I’ll have more work for you. Glad I found you, and I’d recommend you to anyone.
You have choices when managing a blog. You can do it all, or you can delegate what you don’t do well. If writing befuddles you, get an editor or ghost writer.If you get flummoxed by Thesis Theme widgets, plug-ins, and CSS (cascading style sheets), hire Shawn.

Greetings Thesis users!
I recently hired Shawn to fix a few issues and clean up my website. I couldn’t be more pleased with his performance. I found that he is focused and attentive, and I especially appreciate the fact he like to communicate by phone or skype. He fixed my issues and did so quickly. He personalized a SEO plan for the website and followed up to ensure I understood his recommendations. My experience is that Shawn is professional, friendly, reliable, and affordable. I will hire him again in the future.
Thank You Shawn.
Best Regards,
Aaron
Testimonial
I have to say that working with Shawn is a DREAM! His response times are great and work is done when he says it will be – I always recommend him when one of my marketing clients needs some technical help on their wordpress blog. So when I needed some tuning done on my membership site, I shot Shawn an email. It is running better BUT the best part is that he gave her a little facelift! I KNOW, I am in marketing and could have done it myself, but I didn’t. He moved some things around and changed the colors a bit and now the usability AND looks are much nicer! Thanks for another great job Shawn!!!!

Hi everybody,
Shawn is the REAL deal (period).
When I first came here after buying and installing my thesis theme, I saw all those reviews, I was thinking they were fake (for real). But I told myself, since I didn’t have much choice, let me contact the guy.
I did open a post as well if I remember well, and contacted a few other guys, but Shawn was the first one who contacted me, and thank God he did.
Within 48 hours, I had a brand new thesis powered wordpress blog well optimized, I was so happy and most importantly the price was more than fair for the work he did and the speed of the work (less than 48 hours).
No doubt I will keep working with shawn in the near future, it’s not easy to find competent and trustful guy like that.
Shawn is a HIGHLY reference when it comes to Thesis powered wordpress blog, the guy knows his stuff and he knows it well.Thanks shawn!!!
