9. LET USERS EXPLORE

BEFORE THEY COMMIT

Placing registration gates too early in a site experience
can be detrimental to conversion. In the study,
participants became frustrated by sites that demanded
registration in order to continue - especially if the site
was an unfamiliar brand. Before offering their personal

and get a sense of what a site had to offer them.

Key Takeaway
Allow visitors to use your site without

registering for an account.
