QUESTION
I am trying to learn about registration forms, what should I be careful about when designing one? Is there any "best practice" or do you know any great websites with great examples of registration forms?
(For example, I like the facebook.com registration form, the one when you sign up the first time)
ANSWER
I would say you should Consider these things whenever you design a form :
- Make Your Form Easy to understand
- Choose Your Colors Wisely
- Make it short and sweet (long pages/details irritates)
- Design logically and easy to complete
- A high contrast, easy to follow flow
