- we like the way the content is presented on the Prab product page - specifically, we like the use of the tabs below the main product images to present a lot of content without it looking overwhelmingly busy.

- we like the way Rice Lake Glass presents their cases studies with a combination of useful information highlighted by informative icons and pictures to present key statistics in the case study. We would like the SmartSkim case studies to almost feel like an infographic presentation on the website.
