Another month, another SWIG. It’s not all about drinking, it’s about WordPress, the Web, and running our businesses. Be there, learn lots, make friends. Yay!

SWIGmas is the end of year get together for all SWIGgers – we’ll relax a little, have a drink, and watch some entertaining and thoughtful videos on a range of web and design related subjects. Nothing too heavy, and we’re not planning on anyone giving a talk as we know how hard it is to prepare in the run-up to… continue reading ⇢
