Hi CDN,

I'm trying to create some new copy for our product entry.
 
Do you have anywhere best practice guidelines as to what you expect in each section.
(apologies if I have just missed it)
 
For example, the 'features' section would you expect a bulleted list of
features here or a more wordy description of features?  Or in the details
section would this be written around the more 'technical' details or be an
expansion of 'description' copy?
 
In the Phase 1 walkthrough webinar you have used bulleted lists in the majority
of copy sections (other than the summary) and I want to make sure we follow the
right style guidelines before working on said copy.
