Hi Julian,
for a carousel, probably a picture and one to two sentences.
Perhaps adding dedicated success-story pages would also be good.

Hi Chris,
I just pushed another update that includes the carousel and also
changes (hopefully improves) the layout of the teaser a bit.
Do you have any text on success stories that we could add?
