Have you ever wondered about how to make a registration website and thought that it might be too complex to actually make one? Lucky for you, there are available tips that you can use to be able to be assured of going through a simple process while making one.

The first tip on how to make a registration website simpler is to make your username and password requirements very reasonable. The best thing for you to do to be able to achieve this is by allowing letters, number and even special characters to be included in people's username and password. In addition, there should not also be any character length limits to the username and/or password of your users because if they want a password that is 40 characters long, why should you take that freedom from them? This factor alone will appeal to a lot of people because most of the time, people use the same username and password for all their accounts. If you give them the liberty to create whatever username and password they want, you will really make your users very happy and satisfied.

Another good tip that you can also do is to use CAPTCHAs to be able to make sure that the one trying to sign up is really a person. This is very important since there are a lot of people out there trying to harm different websites by writing malicious programs. The next tip that you can take note of is to not make your users answer generic secret questions just in case they forget their username or password. This is because it is just logical to think 'if they forgot their username or password, why would they remember their secret question?' In short, secret questions are not a reliable fallback if ever people forget their login details.

Another tip that you can benefit from is the strategy of letting your users know instantly if their username is currently being used by another person. It is helpful if this will be done before the form is completed so that the effort and time of your users will not be put to waste.

One useful tip is that you should not collect all the information you need when your user is registering for the first time. It is just proper to ask for the username, password and e-mail address from the user who wants to register because those are the necessary information you need at the moment. When the user has already registered successfully, that is the only time that you oblige them to fill out forms that will require different information about them.

These are just some tips that you can follow on how to make a registration website very easy to browse by different users. Because the process of registration is very simple and straightforward, your users are not the only ones who will benefit from it because even you can get something positive out of it. With a simple process of registration, maintaining data would become a breeze for you.
