The purpose of the design challenge is to come up with design concepts for App Exchange store, we have provided a wireframe to help you get started!

IMPORTANT - Design Considerations!!
- Please follow the colors from the provided branding guidelines.
- Though the primary brand color is red, we would like red to be used very sparingly and NOT for buttons or clickable items.
- Designs need to be simple, clean, elegant, flat, “now” and on trend.
- We are not looking for you to color the wireframes i.e. please DO NOT COPY the wireframes/layout, if you do all the designs are going to be same.
- We would like the designs to be creative.
- Please have the size of your designs as 1024px width and height as required!

Required Pages:
We need the below pages to be designed from the wireframes.

General:
- Think on how the header, footer need to laid out
- Please use a placeholder for logo
- The main navigation will have these items for now “Home, Store and About”, think on how effectively we can show this.

1) Homepage:
This will be initial landing page for the application..
- Through this page, we would like to engage and drive users from this page to view the store of apps, how can we effectively do that?
- Could we show a list of featured applications here?
- For listing the apps in this page, do you think we can show some high level details of the apps like App name, couple of lines of text description, rating etc?
- Not specifically for flip interaction as shown in the wireframe for showing details, we are open to ideas on this - feel free to improve them.
- Come up with thoughts on getting this page laid out.

2) Store:
This is main page of this application...
- We show a list of apps grouped by categories, you can use the categories as “All, Featured, Finance, Administrative, IT, Salesforce COE, Marketing”
- What else you think can be included in this page to simplify/help user find a desired application - may be filters, search etc..
- Do you think showing featured apps in this page will be of help?
- what else can be included here, come up with ideas.

3) Application Details:
When a user clicks on an application, then we show the application details page..
- We need to show the name of the application below details
- - Description of the application
- - Instructions on how to use the app..there could be links/resources that may include: videos/screenshots of the app in action; downloadable zip files of the code; technical instructions on how to deploy, etc. ���
- - Options to rate/comment and
- - Have call-to-action as “Get it Now” (clicking on it downloads the app).
- Go through the wireframe for reference but as mentioned earlier look to come up with your own thoughts for layout etc..
- A user will be able to “Rate/Comment” in this page, how can this be shown? currently it is shown as a modal window in the wireframe, please feel free to improve it.

Target Audience
���There will be multiple users - anyone from a business-side user looking to see what type of applications have been built across the company to a technical user looking to understand precise instructions about how to deploy.
