For the “Accessible Signup Form for SaaS Platform” brief, I analyzed Siter.io, a no-code website builder (I have a soft spot for web and mobile app tools, what can I say). The landing page immediately stood out with its sleek, modern look, but as I dug deeper into the login and signup flow, I spotted several areas where UX and accessibility could be significantly improved.

With my background in both UI development and UX/UI design, accessibility issues tend to jump out quickly. A few key problems I noticed:

  • The first input field grabs focus on page load, with no page context for screen reader users.
  • The login/signup switch is buried too low in the page hierarchy.
  • Input focus styles fail contrast checks.
  • Placeholder text is low contrast and redundant, risking confusion.
  • Error messages are vague, non-persistent, and don’t clarify what’s wrong.

And that’s just the start. Check out the full project for a deeper breakdown!

Solid effort on tackling accessibility in the Siter.io signup and login flows. The clean layout and clear labels make the forms easy to use, and it’s obvious accessibility was on your mind from the start. I like the improvements you made to the focus and error states—they’re more visible now without being distracting. However, there’s still room to push the hierarchy and contrast even further. Some elements could stand out more, and the placeholder text might benefit from a bit more clarity. Overall, a thoughtful project that shows good attention to detail, but there’s space to refine the user experience even more.

Thank you very much for the feedback! ☺️ Have updated the screens with some changes on the social media buttons, the divider's color contrast and some subtle changes on the font weights with the idea to improve the hierarchy. I must admit I wasn't sure what you meant by placeholder text (my mind immediately turns to the input placeholders but I have none here), so I went over all the texts again and found that there were indeed some improvements to be made on the password requirements, improved the signup agreement on T&C, and changed the signup title so that the user won't mistake the page for the login one due to how similar they are, both in layout and title length. Am I on the right track? 😆

Awesome, Already sounds better

Good start, clean and tidy space but I think you can improve in more area like:

  1. Hierarchial - which component more standout or not
  2. Make social media login more stand out by using primary / logo color
  3. make a text field more easy to look by change a litle bit black to gray-black

I hope this is can improve your UI and conversion design

Thanks for the great feedback! ☺️ I went back to the screens and figured out that the first two points you mentioned are actually tied to each other. The social login buttons should have been indeed colored just like the sign up/log in buttons because they have the same goal so equally important. Additionally, I replaced the "or" with "or continue with" such that there is a clearer separation. Now the login/signup options feel much easier to scan on first sight. On the third point you mentioned, I have to say that there is no pure black in the whole design. The background of the inputs are a darker gray already just to ensure better contrast with the text. On the other hand, I went and lightened the borders to make the input's edges more visible. What do you think? 😄
Nice one Monica. This is more better!

Great improvement overall! Just a quick suggestion to further enhance the user experience:

Consider adding clear, helpful placeholder text and ensuring all interactive elements are properly labeled for screen readers. This will improve both usability and accessibility.

Hi there! Thank you for the feedback! 😄 This is the second review about placeholders I got, haha! I went over all the texts again and found that I could improve the signup agreement on T&C, the clarity of the password requirements and made the titles of the pages distinguishable from each other by length. As for the interactive elements being properly labeled I'm guessing it's about the show/hide toggle button for the password input?

Nice work on the Siterio Signup/Login A11y screens! The clean layout and clear labels make the forms super user-friendly. Great to see accessibility considered from the start—good spacing, readable text, and logical flow. Adding strong focus states or error feedback would push it even further, but overall, solid and inclusive design! ✅🔐

Hey, thank you for the awesome feedback! 😄 This made me look into how should I balance the focus and error feedback as well. Learned that I should be mindful that errors are still visually more dominant than the focus and so I settled for the following solution: - Increased the red input outline from 2px to 3px for errors - Added a soft blue glow on the focused input that already has a 2px blue outline This way, both the error and focus state are stronger now, but there is a clear distinct style for each, and the errors are still more prominent (more visual cues than the focus: the error message and the error icon inside the field). What do you think? 🤔

Nice work Monica—the layout feels clean and thoughtful, overall it’s a strong and accessible design!


overall appreciate the effort you made , only thing that is causing a eye glitch . is that there is a slight difference between the color of the LOGIN button and FACEBOOK , I think brand color of siter.io is different than the facebook brand color. but that slight difference is disturbing the balance and eye

You're right about that! 😆 Once you pointed it out it started bothering me too. I did get a few reviews on hierarchy too, so I figured I could do changes on the social media buttons too. Changed the social media buttons to white as secondary buttons so there wouldn't be so many colors clashing on the page but still retained the overall familiarity of the brand through the colored logos. Thank you for the feedback!
