Web Design & Development

For some, a website is a means to share and gather information. For others it is a means to stay connected with friends and family. Swardson Studios believes that no matter how you view the internet and the many different kinds of sites available today, we can help you with your web design needs.

We have extensive experience creating both static and dynamic websites utilizing modern web languages and technologies such as XHTML, CSS, jQuery, PHP and MySQL. We also have experience with plug-ins, theme development and site creation using popular content management systems such as wordpress and drupal. No matter what your design needs are, Swardson Studios can help you bring your vision to the web.

Blog

The visual effects, animation and web design community is ever changing. New methods, examples and tools are shared each and every day. The only way to capitalize on all of this information is to have a place to find it.

Free Written and Video Tutorials

At Swardson Studios we feel that production and education are not separate entities. In a creative industry, education gives artists access to the wisdom of seasoned professionals with technical expertise, but it also incubates an environment for experimentation and growth that is unmatched; therefore, we not only offer production services, but educational resources as well.
