Swish is an alternative to using Flash software. It is a great tool for creating basic textual and graphic animations. Although it is not as powerful as Macromedia's Flash product, it still allows you to develop some very good intros.

Swish is definitely a great tool to download and use and it is a great deal cheaper than using similar products. In it's early days, good quality templates were hard to find but as time goes on, many resource sites have appeared with the templates getting better and better.
