Accessible Signup Form

Introduction

This accessible signup form is designed to ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience for mobile app users. The design follows usability best practices, focusing on accessibility, input validation, and clear error handling to guide users efficiently through the registration process.

Design Principles

1. Single-Column Layout

• The form follows a single-column structure to enhance readability and usability.
• Users can easily scan and navigate through fields without confusion.
• Reduces cognitive load and aligns with mobile-first design principles.

2. Labels Positioned Outside Inputs

3. Input Validation & Real-Time Feedback

• The form includes inline validation to guide users as they fill out the fields.
• Green checkmarks ✅ indicate correct input, reinforcing positive feedback.
• Red error indicators ❌ highlight mistakes immediately, reducing frustration.
