CACHING
Caching will give the correct headers to have the user cache it
Caching will create a flat file on the server so the server does not have to re-process it
Entire Pages can be cached on the server - improving performance.

SECURE
Encrypts all passwords / cookies using a random md5 encryption key.
Forms use tokens to get authorization
Page content goes though an approval process
Forces removal of install files
Supports USER_AUTH to make a site private until launch

MULTI-PLATFORM
IIS / Linux platforms.
Apache on windows,Mac or Linux environments

EXTENDABLE
Sketch uses Models / View / Controllers - but in a flexible way
Don't want to use the MVC - then don't - drop a page in to the views folder and let it run - sketch will take care of the rest.

Each Page,plugin,output and form can be modified - the saving is managed behind the scenes.

HELPFUL
Sketch has a helpers folder - In there is are Validation/ Email / Paypal / DPS / minification and more...
Sketch presents a full error when things go wrong
Errors can be turned off when Development mode is finished

TINY
All pages are stripped of comments and whitespace
Best Practice
Latest Standards are used in headers, Ajax requests not cached

PORTABLE
Sketch knows when it is in a subfolder - these are never written to file paths - so when moving the site form one folder to another - Sketch adjusts the links for you.
