The main goal of Easy’s framework is to provide a solid base for all of your front-end projects. This CSS/HTML/JavaScript framework is meant to reduce the amount of time spent on setting up the basic master HTML template by reusing the same coding techniques. Easy includes all 3 layers of front-end: structural, presentational and interactive. That makes it the true all-in-one solution for your next front-end project.
Easy is not just a CSS framework designed for building layouts. It includes built-in (JQuery powered) interactive functions and a library of preformatted and precoded CSS/HTML content blocks that you can simply paste into your master template.
Main features include:
- Rock-solid base HTML structure
- Predefined basic CSS styles for both screen and print
- Built-in set of interactive functions (no JavaScript code needed)
- Library of HTML content blocks that can be easily used and reused
- Basic file organization and possibility of expanding the library with your own code

Easy is rock-solid, true all-in-one front-end solution that you can easily use as it is or customize to fit your own needs.

If you are looking for a way to create your own specific chart or image crop and rotate widgets than Raphaël is definitely a choice to consider. This simple to use JavaScript library uses the SVG W3C Recommendation and VML as a base for creating graphics meaning that every graphical object that you create is also a DOM object. Therefore, you can attach JavaScript handlers or modify them later.

Raphaël’s goal is to provide an adapter that will make drawing vector art compatible cross-browser and easy.
- Tested in: Firefox 3.0+, Safari 3.0+, Opera 9.5+ and Internet Explorer 6.0+.
