Some of the features included are similar to the usual design tools that are available. For example you have the pen tool for free drawing or the timeline that will manage the animations.

Google Web designer is still in the beta version and is not yet a full-fledged web designer tool. It is primarily used for creating HTML5 animations and CSS3 animations. The animation task within the tool is intuitive and does not require special skills or knowledge.
