How many times have you given up registering for an online service, because you were tired of the time it was taking? The sign-up process has always been one of the key moments for the user. It’s when you decide whether or not to be part of a community. In or out. That is why we have focused our efforts on this essential part of our website in recent months.

After several months of studying and testing many sign-up processes on different digital platforms, last august we finally launched a much smoother and more user-friendly sign-up experience: Light Sign-Up. Previously, we had a sign-up process that was longer to follow and less easy to fill out. The time spent on the page was higher compared to the current Light Sign-Up, and sometimes the drop-out rate reached relatively high peaks.

Our development team has created a solution that meets five basic requirements: AccessibilityClarityEfficiencySpeedUsability.
Five like the steps that make up the new Sign-up process, of which the first already entitles you to be part of ReviewerCredits by entering only your email address and a password.

But why, if you have already subscribed, should you be interested in the new sign-up process? Easy: to encourage your colleagues to sign up using the feature you probably already know and have used at least once. If you invite a colleague, you will receive 5 bonus credits spendable on our Reward Center!
