The Effect Maker allows you to customize JavaScript effects like scrollers, slide shows and messengers with your own texts, fonts and images. No JavaScript development skills are needed. With a few clicks you can start creating your own effects. You can have several customizations of one type of effect in your site. All standard web fonts are supported and if you like you can specify your own custom font if you support it by your HTML/CSS3 setup or template. To see the effects in action look at our gallery. Get the Pro edition for even more effects.

- Horizontal Scroller – a ticker effect with side fading
- Vertical Scroller – a vertical ticker effect width side fading
- Image Fader – a simple slide show that fades images into each other

- Scramble Message – Your message is hurrying to scramble in and out
- Falling Text – Your message is falling down!
- Water Drop Show – Let drops of water fall on your slides with one big splash showing the next.
- Shuffle Show – Shuffle your slides like a card deck with this effect
Effect Maker is integrated into WordPress as a plugin. It inserts an option in the administration menu which you click to create your configurations. Configurations are saved in the wordpress database. Images and media are selected from the standard WordPress media gallery.
Your effects can then easily be inserted into your posts by specifying the location in the editor and then clicking on “add effect” with the configuration that you made. An effect icon marks the location of your effect.
Multiple configurations effects are supported in a single wordpress site, thanks to the JavaScript instancing technology in Effect Maker.
Important Note! If you need to integrate the JavaScripts into your WordPress themes or headers then we recommend using the desktop versions of Effect Maker which generates physical standalone .js files and which you can download [here] (http://www.effectmaker.com/download/).
Internet Explorer 9.0, Chrome, Opera and Firefox supported. Some effects may work on earlier versions of Internet Explorer down to version 8.0.
