	examotion® GmbH Standards are important. Authors and readers can use different applications from different vendors on different platforms, and still know that they can communicate clearly... as long as they use the same standards. Just as HTML, CSS, and XML are now established standards, SVG is emerging as one of the most important technologies on the Web. The power of rich interactive graphics, with the flexibility of XML, CSS, and JavaScript, is a powerful combination for getting things done, no matter if it's for the Web, mobile devices, or the desktop. Our aim is to spread SVG, help the designer and developer community grow, and provide the whole set of tools and technologies required to so. For more information see http://www.examotion.com
