Agree2 Beta is back
Thursday, October 4, 2007 at 5:32PM 
If you’re subscribed to this blog you might have signed up for the Agree2 beta back in March when we first launched it. So what has happened since then you might ask. March is a long time without a peep.
Well the March beta launch was successful, but not in the way that we had initially hoped for. Initially our beta was pretty limited, but we quickly began to see and hear the reaction that it’s cool but nothing more. Very few people tried more than just signing up and looking at it.
We interviewed various users and realized that it was kind of overwhelming at first. Too much was going on. Users who are already kind of scared of dealing with contracts in the first place felt even more scared with all the options that were available.
We took a deep breath and decided that this was actually a good thing. There were a small handful of users, so we decided to lay low and think the interface through again. While most of the underlying code is still there we have completely redesigned most of the important processes.
We think that the end product now is a thousand times better. Looking at usability we also went through and redesigned many of the core processes, such as templates and agreement editing.
A large key feature which wasn’t really there before are socially written public agreement templates. In the above screen shot you can see the ones available at the moment. Why not help create the perfect graphic design contract, user agreement, NDA etc.
Anyway we are now back, if you’re already registered try logging in again at Agree2. If you already signed up for our beta keep an eye in your mailbox for your first Agreement in Agree2 our User Agreement (yes we eat our own dog food). If you would like to try it out go to Agree2 and register yourself.
This time we will open up more widely. However it is still a beta. And when we say Beta that does mean that there may be occasional error screens, funky javascript and screechy style sheets. We are really happy to say that 2 of our beta users are already confident enough with us that they are using Agree2 for their own commercial agreements - you guys rock.
Please keep subscribed here as we will now be back more frequently talking about our features and also the basics of contract law.
