Designing Sign Up Screens & Flows
If you have or are building a web application of any kind, chances are you also have a sign-up flow that users have to slog through in order to use your service. In this talk Joshua Porter will share best practices for designing sign-up screens that you can immediately incorporate into your designs.
Josh will cover several ways to improve your sign-up process, from focusing on the psychology of sign-up to how to structure the process, to even ways of getting rid of sign-up altogether. You'll come away thinking about the way people gain access to your application in a brand new light, more confident that you can design a solution that makes it easier, not harder to love your software.
