Questions that don’t confuse/corrupt

Spend a good amount of time navigating the site, while answering the following questions: (1) Does the information presented clearly communicate what your next steps of action should be? (2)What information do you need to help make a purchase decision? (3) Do you feel more inclined to purchase a solution, or signup for a free trial, after browsing the site?

Evaluate the site thoroughly. Is it clear, easy, and complete? Would you sign up for this?
