A website navigation menu that follows the cursor, created with the jQuery framework and CSS that’s easy to implement and configure.

The end result features simple markup, two levels navigation and styling via css. An extra feature included in the plugin is the function that animates the page to anchor points which you can test on the single-page demo.
