I went through the signup process again just to see and I have to say that it's not particularly bad given that it's a hosted application. It's quite common to balance the needs of collecting user data with the need for brevity. Surely, though, making name, email, username, country and password mandatory isn't really much to ask. My position if I were offering a hosted online application would be that any user not willing to fill out 5 fields to try it out would probably be more trouble than he or she is worth once they're using the app. Can anyone think of a hosted workflow application that doesn't require this data? Freshbooks, BaseCamp, ActivCollab, Harvest - they all require this or more. I might make the application a little friendlier, but at this point I think the product should be the focus. It's fantastic so far, by the way. Everything I liked about Axure without the headache of being tied to an installed application. Cheers!

It's understood I need to set an identity to use some features, but my first concern is look'n'feel, not saving results or group work... maybe these links could show the ways for improvement: http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/06/design-to-sell-12-tips-to-help-your-website-convert/ http://www.smashingmagazine.com/2009/04/13/7-more-useful-tips-to-help-your-site-convert/ Best, Boris Well, pictures look like real Axure, but it’s VERY disappointing that you ask me to fill up enormous sign-up form (including my email) just for getting a touch of your online app. This is a big stumble block on a way of conversion.
