If you require a registration for your business, then you are already aware of the benefits of having a simple registration process, not only for you but for the users as well. Even if your registration process is a simple one, there is always a need for improvement. Here are three ways to make yours better.
1. Many websites require the user to create a Username. Instead of this, try having the user input their e-mail address. Websites want people to create a Username in order for their account to be unique and for you to have a way to identify their account. Since an e-mail account is already unique, there is no need to have your users create another unique identifier. Their Profile Name is what stands their account out from others, not the Username. An e-mail address is a simpler way to create a unique identifier.
2. Return the user to where they were. Nothing is more annoying when you are at a website gathering information, choose to register, follow the necessary and time consuming process of filling out the registration forms only to not be returned to your original page. On your registration page, once completed bring your user back to their original page. Since the user probably spent a lot of time doing what they were doing before they registered, it is a good idea to bring them back to where they were.
3. Giving real-time validation will prevent a lot of annoying re-entering of information. I can’t count the number of times I have filled out a form only to be told at the end that certain fields are not filled out correctly. A simple solution is to provide a green check mark for fields that are filled out correctly and a red “X” if it is not. This will save your users time while preventing anger.
One last thing, I was talking with my mate the other evening and he says that in the recession lots of businesses are turning towards team bonding london to encourage the staff. I am a little put off by how I feel about this, I mean it’s a likable concept but it is never going to motivate people as much as a nice big bonus is it?
