100 Free HTML5/CSS3 Sign-in & Registration Forms

Are you new to web design? Are you creating web projects for yourself or other people? You will, no doubt, get to work on website user experience and login or registration forms in particular. In this article, we will explore why your HTML5 CSS3 website needs such a form, what it should look like, and where you can get one for free.

What to Look For in a Good Login Form?

How can you tell that you’ve done a good job creating a login form?

Below, I’m listing the points you should focus on to create good user experience with your form.

Make sure it has labels indicating the point of each field

Without a label, no one will know what they are expected to do with a certain field and what kind of data they are supposed to enter. The fields look similar, and you don’t want your site visitors to be busy guessing where to do what. Add labels.

Make fields large enough

The inputs should be easily noticeable on the page and pleasant to the eyes. Users should not be made to cramp text into small fields. The inputs should not require too much navigating with the mouse, the process should be nice and smooth and all the typed text should be visible to the user.

Think about the mobile experience

You need to link your labels to particular input fields. On a smaller screen, clickable labels work best. Where it is not possible to make such a label, make sure that the field itself is large enough for the mobile user to view it comfortably.

Make sure the button stands out

When users will be submitting their entries, they should find your Call-to-Action button right away and be enticed to click by its design. The buttons should be big enough and the call to action must be clear and personalized. Don’t just call it a “Submit” button; add a name that points out the purpose of the action, like “Log in”, “Sign-up”, “Join us”, etc.

Make it easy to find the form on the page

It’s much better when users don’t have to do additional work like clicking on tabs or links to sign-in. If your page readily shows the input fields, more people will be drawn to give you their data.

Sign-in and sign-up panels should be kept separate

Have you ever typed your email into a form only to find out that you are using the wrong one? It’s annoying. Make sure it’s crystal clear where the registration form is and where you can sign in with an existing account. It’s better not to show two registration forms at the same time to avoid confusion.

Don’t forget about the social login

Social login is fast and easy, especially when a particular website is used many times a day. Give your users the chance to login via external resources but never make it the only option. There will always be people who are not willing to share their social media account details.

Ask them to use the email

If you do want your visitors to remember their login details, don’t ask them to come up with usernames. They will forget them, I promise.

Make the passwords visible

Remember how many times you yourself misspelled your passwords. Always give users an option to see what they are typing into the box. And of course, mobile users will have to be very, very careful to enter the password with a smaller keyboard without mistakes. Help them by creating a “Show password” checkbox.

Help users to restore passwords

It’s not even a question whether they will forget their passwords, they will. The “Forgotten your password?” option should be safe and easy to find under stress. Make sure users get the instant password reset emails and think about adding security questions or two-step mobile authorization.

FAQ

Does my website really need a login form?

The login form is not a must. However, it could be very useful to make membership on your site available. If you want users to create accounts on your site you need to add a login form and this article will tell you how to make it right.

Which one to use – the pop-up login form or a form on a separate page?

It depends on how big is your login form. If you want to collect lots of data about users – lead them to a special page. And if not – a pop-up form will be quite enough. Also, you should keep in mind that users don’t like big registration forms.

Is it OK to use a pre-made login form?

Sure. Even the developers with huge experience use pre-made code – it is much faster than making if from the ground up.
