Support Insights - Addressing Bounce Rate on Sign-Up Forms

In today's support insight, we look at the bounce rate of a sign-up form. A client felt that too many potential customers were dropping off the sign-up form and was looking to make changes to mitigate this. There are several things to look at here:

1. Is it clear what they are signing up for?
2. Are the questions easy and immediate to answer?
3. Are there too many questions (and/or too many in-depth questions)?
4. Is the form free of anything distracting (i.e. links, too much other content)? Your form needs to be laser-focused on one thing - signing-up new customers.
5. Is it mobile friendly? Since 2017 mobile web traffic has consistently hovered around the 50% mark, so this is important.
6. Avoid asking for password confirmation, and definitely don't use Captchas - they are extremely irritating.

Here is the Orderspace sign-up form:
