Description:
Sign-up processes are everywhere, yet few are easy or enjoyable. Some are downright deadly, acting as a wall to participation. In this presentation Joshua Porter will demonstrate multiple ways to handle sign-up elegantly, from writing clear, effective copy to adding motivational cues to even getting rid of sign-up altogether.
Questions
Answered:
  1. How can I increase people's motivation to sign up?
  2. How can I get rid of the sign-up hurdle altogether?
  3. When can I make sign-up optional?
  4. What type of copywriting works best in a sign-up process?
  5. What are the best practices of sign-up?
  6. What are some strategies to handle the sign-up process?
  7. Who is doing sign-up well? What can we learn from them?

This should be, at a minimum, required for every Ad Agency (or any other "Social" performer out there), who wants to effectively kick-off this type of engagement.

Everyone is looking for a way to hook users. This will be popular.

Joshua's book on designing social web sites was exceptional, I gathered so many ideas. I'm sure his talk on sign-up will be just as useful and impressive.

too often overlooked. Hopefully this presentation will make it into sxsw. People need to think about this vital part of every UX more.

Looking forward to this. This is your first impression... your chance to capture the user. A poorly designed signup page can turn users away that you were JUST ABOUT to get. So important!

I wrestle with this issue every day. I'd love to see a panel on sign up!
