Yes, that's what we had in mind :)

So I'll try to specify that a bit better once we have a prototype of the
page to work on.

Ok, so our next step is to work on a prototype of the page.

Yeah, everybody likes this one.

Ok.

Yeah, that will work for us too. We wanted to do some user testing at a
conference in June but we won't have all the rest perfectly ready
neither so we'll just test whatever we have.

Nice. I should inform myself better about Electrolysis :)
