Key Features of a Great Signup Page
A well-designed signup page is key. Here’s what to prioritize:
1. Explain the Contest Details
Keep the focus on what matters most:
- Name and description: Provide a catchy name and a brief overview of the competition rules.
- Prizes: List what participants can win.
- Deadlines and instructions: Share key dates and explain how to join through the signup page.
2. Keep the Form Short
Request only essential information such as name and email. A longer form increases the likelihood of participants abandoning the signup process.
3. Optimize for Mobile
With over 60% of global internet traffic coming from mobile devices, a mobile-friendly page is essential. Ensure your signup form is intuitive to use on any screen size.
Creating the perfect user experience doesn’t have to be complex. Make sure it passes the "sofa test".
