Forms & onboarding

Why this pattern works

Use a short centered form, an explicit alternative identity method, and readable terms close to the submit action.

Design notes

Surface: Create-account form in a public component demo
Navigation: A compact Login link allows existing users to switch intent.
Layout: Two equal columns: identity and testimonial on the left, a narrow centered form on the right.
Density: Sparse; only the fields and choices needed to enter the product.
Color: Gray supporting panel, white form surface, a black primary button and outlined alternative.
Type: Sans-serif throughout, clear form heading and subdued explanatory copy.
Pattern: One obvious primary path, with the alternative separated by a small text divider.
States: Empty email field; no submitted, loading, or error state is represented in this capture.
Don't: Do not use placeholders as the only field label or treat this visual example as working authentication.

Captured: 2026-09-04. This is a dated reference, not a claim about the current live product.
Capture scope: a page excerpt. Do not infer unseen sections or interactions.

## Objective
Adapt the interaction and layout patterns below to my project. Use my own content and identity. Do not reproduce logos, proprietary copy, or brand assets.

## Acceptance criteria
- Existing project conventions, design tokens, working functionality, and unrelated changes are preserved.
- Two or three reference principles clearly support the user's task; conflicts are resolved in favor of usability and the existing product.
- Reusable components and semantic HTML express the interface. Available licensed assets are used; important UI text is never rendered as a bitmap.
- Every visible control has a defined behavior. Loading, empty, error, success, disabled, and long-content states are specified where relevant. Demo data is clearly labeled.
- Navigation and content adapt at 375px, 768px, and 1440px without horizontal page overflow. Keyboard use, visible focus, labeled inputs, at least 44px touch targets, readable contrast, and reduced motion are supported.
- Verification distinguishes rendered behavior from proposals and identifies anything still requiring a backend or external service.

## Quality bar
Clear hierarchy, consistent spacing, restrained surfaces, and purposeful motion. Avoid decorative gradients, excessive cards, placeholder buttons, and invented metrics unless the project calls for them. Do not claim a feature is connected or tested without evidence.
