Nice. Having a "design" job in manufacturing, I've oft noted that parts & supply websites have a huge opportunity to do something really great. The websites are geared towards engineers at best, and presenting meaningful information (pictures) to the average bro is abysmal across the board, though it's slowly getting better. Do us proud, future Information Design Manager for McMaster-Carr. Do us proud.
