Summary:
The usability of sign-up forms is a bugbear of any interface design professional. But what if the real hurdle wasn’t usability, but motivation? Josh will show you techniques to motivate people to sign up for your web application, from leveraging social influence to getting rid of the sign up form completely!
Joshua Porter is the founder of Bokardo Design, an interface design and strategy shop focusing exclusively on social web applications. He recently wrote the book “Designing for the Social Web”. When he is not designing web sites, Josh is speaking about it at conferences or writing about it at bokardo.com. He lets off steam by rock climbing and keeping up with his two-year old.
