If you run a social network or any website that is dependent on member activities, then you know the significance of the sign up form. The sign up form has one important role: fuel the lifeline that is your community by converting anonymous users into engaging members. It’s a lot of pressure to place on one page – some handle it well, others not so well.

Half a year ago, Smashing Magazine did a survey of 100 top websites that depended on their sign up process and examined the trends. There’s far too much insight in the two-part article to summarize here, but in UX Digest tradition, we wanted to highlight a few key findings and of course link you to the goodies.
- 40% of sites used “Sign Up” to label their registration page and also placed the link at the top right of the site
- 61% of sites simplified the design of the sign up page to remove distractions
- No trend was identified for label arrangement (left vs. right vs. top justified)
- Designers leaned towards having few mandatory fields and few fields in general
Keep in mind these are trends – not best practices necessarily. That being said, the masses can’t be that wrong, can they?

Should there be “:” next to text labels? I guess thats not a good UX practice. In the image which you have mentioned above has the double colon. Thanks.
One of the best and most seamless sign up processes I’ve ever seen is here:

Just email a specific address and you’re signed up. Collecting all the usual information comes later in the process but it removes the barrier to the initial registration immediately.
