Studio Also specialises in Drupal.

John Saward BSc is the proprietor of Studio Also. In 2004 I began incorporating Drupal into my existing website development work. Since then I have been constantly busy with Drupal work, and this site, drupal.com.au, was established by me in early 2005 with the twin aims of promoting Drupal in Australia and allowing potential clients to contact me for their work requirements. The site has been 100% successful, even though my priority in those years has been towards the needs of my clients, over the need to keep this site regularly updated and refreshed. I hope in 2009 to be able to take a breath from my issue queue and once again begin to move drupal.com.au towards the original vision I had for it, and still retain. More about that later.

I bring my experience as a Unix System Administrator, GIS Programmer and Website Developer to my work as a Drupal Consultant and Developer. I am based in Melbourne.

If you decide you would like a Drupal website I can help you.

I can develop a new Drupal web site; convert an existing site to Drupal; or maintain an existing Drupal installation. Contact me.

My work in 2008 involved managing and maintaining and extending sites for my on-going clients such as:  NewWOW |SPACE | Mary Porter AM MLA | English Mastery | Fawcett Cottage | ALARA

New client sites in 2008 included:

• VAADA Comorbidity - I developed this site from scratch under the guidance of VAADA from their concept, and collaborated with a graphic designer (Alyssa at Artifact Design Group) on the 'look-and-feel'.
•  ANHLC  - I take over continuing responsibility from the initial developer for management, maintenance and further development.

I continued providing support and troubleshooting on the Shire of Busselton site which runs on Drupal.

As well, I took up the challenge of working with some of Melbourne's best project management teams supporting them in their Drupal development for some of Australia's largest corporations including CSR, John Holland PTY LTD, and TruEnergy. The sites for J.H. and TruEnergy are internal intranets largely facilitating e-learning within those organisations. The site I engineered on behalf of CSR, Ethanol Facts, has the purpose of promoting their Ethanol blended fuels, and is online.

As I begin to return to my work in 2009, I am excited to have been retained as the webmaster for the AFL Player's Association.

I have been also re-engaged by BOAB Interactive to assist in troubleshooting in the 'final 5%' of their excellent Drupal site development work. I did some consulting work for them mid-2008.
