This number is a conservative estimate based on hundreds of customer reports. Like clockwork, our users report that they're able to perform tasks in a couple of minutes that otherwise would have taken days. Some tasks, such as those dealing with color, are actually hundreds of times faster.

Different users report these enormous productivity gains for different reasons:

• Beginning web designers mainly achieve their productivity gains from the way real-time preview works—it provides a clear insight to how CSS really works, helping them make better CSS coding decisions.
• Experienced web designers mainly achieve their productivity gains because they tend to be quite particular, and spend an enormous amount of time testing and tweaking, which is a painstaking process without real-time preview.

The actual speed increase you experience will vary depending on what tasks you perform most frequently, and how much time you typically spend refining and tweaking your work (most designers spend a lot of time here).

If you don't feel like you're getting a substaintial speed increase from Stylizer, here are some things to consider:

1. Study the hotkeys. There are a lot of them, but having them memorized allows you to whip around your style sheet with much greater speed.
2. Read the internals documentation to make sure that you're aware of advanced CSS concepts like image replacement and initialization, why you should be using them, and how Stylizer makes these practises easier to implement.
3. Stylizer should be used exclusively—if you're jumping back and forth between Stylizer and a text editor, it becomes akin to another developer's tool bar, which reduces its effectiveness.
4. If you have multiple team members working on the same project, try to convert everyone on your team to Stylizer. This may read like promotional rhetoric, but Stylizer really does work much better when it's the exclusive tool used on a project.
