The site is sleek and well designed. The information the user needs is available straight away and expanded upon within the first page by scrolling down. I really like the design and it adds credence to the professional and simple nature of the app. immediately I am drawn to the build it now button due to the contrast of the colour scheme. I am also drawn to the Appgreen logo. The changing of the background to white to iterate on more information makes it easy to distinguish the two roles they provide.

Are you encouraged to sign up for a free account? If not, why?
I would be yes. That the app is free, the site is well designed and that ultimately it looks sleek and professional, without a corporate whitewash are all conducive to me feeling that this product has something to offer and it would be well worth my time to try it out.

How do you think the site compares to other similar sites/competitors like http://www.icatalogue.it and itouchcatalog.com?
itouchcatalog.com is a bit too busy on the front page. There are merits in explaining the app in a little more detail than your site, but it feels too cluttered and looks cheap. The Italian version is terrible. No one like the video overlays, most people at work don’t have speakers and it looks incredibly cheap. Your site is far superior in this regard.
Please share any additional feedback/comments you may have.
Whilst the scrollbar is visible, it is not initially clear that more information is available underneath the back. Giving some visual hints would help guide the user to the additional information.
1) Visit https://appgreen.com/. What is your initial impression of what you see?
My initial impression is very positive. Â I like the look, the ease of navigating through the site, and the viability of the product. Â It is very professional, and gives me confidence that it would be a reliable service. Â The color scheme, with the contrast of black and white varying with bits of color, is very visually appealing, too. Â I found it easy to understand the concept of the product, how it works, and what is being offered, and it sounds like a very useful service!
I wasn’t as impressed by the gray on white lettering on some of the inner pages. Â Just a bit harder to focus on for middle-aged eyes.
Are you immediately drawn to click any of the buttons? Why or why not?
Yes, my eye is drawn to the green buttons because of the color, and it seems an easy way to get more information about the product. Â I also clicked through some of the top buttons in white, too, for a quick tour and a look at the very engaging “about us” page. Â Love the cartoons and captions! Â A bit of humor makes a good connection with me as a consumer.
2) Are you encouraged to sign up for a free account? If not, why?
I am very encouraged to sign up. Â A free app for a very helpful service would be a boon to small business owners like me who are new to an online presence. Â Especially if one has tried, as I have, to put together paper catalogs; well, it’s a nightmare.
3) How do you think the site compares to other similar sites/competitors like http://www.icatalogue.it and itouchcatalog.com?
Visually, I really like appgreen better than itouchcatalog. Â Itouch seems cluttered and noisy in comparison. Â I do like the fact that they have their “why choose us” comments on the homepage. Â It gives a quick feel of what they do in a very specific way; but, as I said, their page is cluttered. Â I couldn’t find information on pricing on their site. Â I also feel that the itouch page does not provide as intuitively easy ways for the customer to take action as appgreen does. Â I think the “get started” buttons showing frequently on different pages are a very good idea. Â If the customer gets tired of reading and wants to try it out, all they have to do is click the button. Â I like yours being bright green, too, on some of the pages; why are they white on the tour page? Â They are hard to see. Â

All in all, I am very impressed with your product. Â Thanks for the chance to review it!
