Our comments:
Aprisa is a solution provider in the electronics industry, and its web site is certainly unique in its presentation of customer testimonials. Rather than quoting a line or two from a person of some company that might be vaguely familiar to you, Aprisa decided to use anonymous illustrated characters that offer you their "perspectives" in their areas of expertise such as engineering and sales. The perspectives are context-sensitive and are shown in a draggable DHTML window that occassionally pops up while browsing the site. You can also toggle the display of perspectives by clicking on the eye icon located in the top right corner of the site. Graphics-wise, the design can be considered neutral because of the light-gray color scheme. On the other hand, MacOS aqua style translucent orbs are liberally used throughout the site as icons, product spotlights, or parts of colorful illustrations.
