Signup forms

[asiaboy]

I am working on my signup forms and was wondering if anybody ever did any research on the type of form visitors prefer. The default in NATS is to ask for a username, password, email, and type of membership and then lead you to the pay page.

Personally I do not like that. I would let visitors just choose their type of membership first, then the pay page.

Has anybody experimented with what works better?

I simplified my forms so that it asks what membership package they want, then how they want to pay. We force random userids/passwords, which is the only other info you need to pass to your biller. All other info is collected on the billers pages, which gets sent back to NATS once the member joins.

I am not sure if it really made a difference in number of signups, I just felt that the easier I made it the more likely someone would go thru with the sale.

Does anyone have stats or experience on which join page works best? That would be good to hear!

Thanks Luke, I would imagine there must be differences... maybe the way is to try different tours...

Pleasure! Yeah I suspect it helps get people to the billing join page, which is 1/2 the battle.

So how's NATS working out for you?

Still working to get it ready but getting closer. :-)

What I have worked on so far looks good, and its great once its up and running, it seems. It will give me a lot of new and better ways to run TwinkPay.

Next up will be the member area: ElevatedX or Karma? I tend to ElevatedX.
