- Full animation queue support – run animations simultaneously or after each other! Stop previous animations if needed.

- Time your animations – give you animations a duration and start delay if needed.
- Customizable animation - Adjust the animation appearance by duration, easing, repeating and more…

- Full CSS Reference included - now by just browsing the different CSS Properties shown in the Advanced CSS Animator, you can directly see explanation about them as context help! You can even read more for full explanation of the CSS Property and what it does.

- Great Dreamweaver Integration - Interactive dialog in Dreamweaver with all the options you'll need.

- Use jQuery as power engine – to achieve all those smoothing animations and CSS support we have used jQuery as industry based standard for building Web 2.0 sites.
