Pages: Signup / Login
Guides signup and login page structure, domain choice, modal vs dedicated page, discount integration, and SEO. Signup is the conversion endpoint from landing pages and pricing; when discounts apply at registration (e.g., student discount), signup is the P0 placement. Distinct from landing-page-generator (acquisition); newsletter-signup-generator (email capture only).
When invoking: On first use, if helpful, open with 1–2 sentences on what this skill covers and why it matters, then provide the main output. On subsequent use or when the user asks to skip, go directly to the main output.
Initial Assessment
Check for project context first: If .claude/project-context.md or .cursor/project-context.md exists, read it for product, audience, and offers.
Identify:
- Goal: Account creation, trial, paid signup
- Discounts: Student, annual, promo code—apply at signup?
- Auth: Self-built vs third-party (Auth0, Clerk, etc.)
- Audience: General vs segmented (students, startups)
Domain & URL
| Option | Use |
|---|---|
| Main domain | /signup, /login, /auth; simple; common for SaaS |
| Subdomain | auth.example.com; Universal Login pattern; credentials not cross-origin; requires Cookie domain config for cross-subdomain session |
| Third-party | Redirect to Auth0, Clerk, etc.; provider hosts auth |
Paths: /signup, /login, /register, /auth; keep short and consistent.
Modal vs Dedicated Page
| Approach | Use |
|---|---|
| Dedicated page | Account creation; discount verification; student verification; higher-quality leads; fewer fake emails |
| Modal / popup | Lightweight lead capture; newsletter; quick demo request; lower quality, higher volume |
When discount applies at signup (e.g., student 30% off): Use dedicated page—user needs space for verification, discount display, and form. Modal can work for simple email-only capture; avoid for full account + verification flows.
Mobile: Google penalizes intrusive interstitials; dedicated page avoids penalty.
Page Structure
| Section | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Headline | Value-focused; "Start free" or "Students: 30% off today, 15% off ongoing" |
| Trust signals | SSL, payment logos, privacy, customer logos; see trust-badges-generator |
| Media | Product screenshot, short video, or demo GIF above fold; reinforces value |
| Form | Minimal fields; email first; social login (Google, GitHub) reduces friction |
| Discount block | Student discount, annual discount, promo code; verification entry when applicable |
| Privacy / Terms | Links; compliance |
Discount Integration
Student / Education (education-program)
| Element | Placement |
|---|---|
| Headline or subhead | "Students: 30% off today, 15% off ongoing" |
| Verification | .edu, SheerID, UNiDAYS; verify at signup to apply discount |
| Eligibility | Brief eligibility; link to full terms |
P0 placement: When student discount applies at registration, signup page is primary; pricing page and homepage banner are P1.
Other Discounts
- Annual discount: Show when user selected annual plan from pricing; confirm before submit
- Promo code: "Have a code?" link or inline field; validate before or after submit
Form & Verification
- Minimal fields: Email only when possible; add name only if needed; see newsletter-signup-generator
- Social login: Google, GitHub; reduces friction; faster than email form
- Verification entry: .edu (instant), SheerID/UNiDAYS (broader); see education-program
- Progressive: Collect email first; verify student; then complete profile if needed
SEO
| Page | Meta | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Login | noindex, nofollow | No search value; security risk; indexed login pages can confuse users |
| Signup | noindex, follow | Block from SERP; allow crawl of links (Privacy, Terms) |
Implementation: Use <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> or X-Robots-Tag header. robots.txt does not prevent indexing—crawlers must access the page to read the directive. See indexing for full noindex page-type list.
