I have written articles on how Craft CMS provides [a better publishing experience for the end user](https://caffeinecreations.ca/why-content-writers-love-craft-cms/). I also write [blog posts](/blog) for developers on how to build advanced functionality with Craft CMS Working with specialists in graphic design, javascript, HTML & CSS I build beautiful and highly functional web sites. With **over 15 years experience** building web sites I have the skills and knowledge you need to ensure that your site is professionally built and easy for you to update. Additionally I have a deep and expert knowledge of ExpressionEngine due to having used the software since 2005 and extensive involvement in the community. In the past I was a technical support customer advocate for EllisLab, the company behind ExpressionEngine. ### Core Values Caffeine Creations core values are centered around providing clients with what they need, which is not always what they want. This means I listen to you, really listen, and then present you with the best options to achieve what is best for your business and website. I value: - Quality over Quantity - Integrity - Transparency - Communication from me to you and from you to me - Sharing, teaching & learning - knowledge enriches everyone. - Keep it simple because clear and understandable is best My core values are centered around providing You with what you need, which is not always what you want.

It looks nice, is fast, and functions well. > > Sean is a **high integrity professional**, always upfront and transparent when it came to costs and what’s included in the scope of the project, there were no surprises. > > **We will definitely be hiring him again for future projects**, and I highly recommend him to anyone looking to create a handsome website that requires high functionality and can be easily changed and updated on the spot. > > Thanks for all of your hard work Sean! > > Alex Rennie, [Pinnacle Wealth Brokers](https://pinnaclewealth.ca/) ### Relationships I aim to build long lasting relationships with clients as their business grows and evolves. My clients success is my success. To that end I am invested in helping clients' business connect with their audience and improve their web presence. I provide customized workflows tailored to your needs so you can focus on your company's goals and daily business, not troubleshooting tech issues. ### Communication & Transparency I understand that you may not be experts in technology (that’s our job). I ensure you understand my recommendations without being overwhelmed by technology. The solutions I provide are intuitive and easy to use for everyone. I value transparency and there are no hidden costs or surprise fees partway through a project. ### Clients ![Steady Vision Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/steady-vision-BW.png)![Azrieli logo bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/azrieli_logo-bw.jpg)![Code for canada logo BW](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/code-for-canada-logo-BW.png)![Dennis Drenner Logo Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/dennis-drenner-logo-bw.png)![Antistaticlogo](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/antistaticlogo.png)![Logo Pinnacle Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/logo-pinnacle-bw.png)![Torquest](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/torquest.png)![Compugen Logo Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/compugen-logo-bw.jpg)![National](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/national.png)![Mda-bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/mda-bw.png)![Buildmarketing400 Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/buildmarketing400-bw.png)![A Digital Logo Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/a-digital-logo-bw.jpg)![Compass-creative-bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/compass-creative-bw_190214_203421.png)![Capital communications 2](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/capital-communications-2.png)![Eric Miller Logo Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/eric-miller-logo-bw.jpg)![Exclaim Solutions Bw](https://caffeinecreations.ca/uploads/logos/_AUTOx40_fit_center-center_90_none_ns/exclaim-solutions-bw.png)
