Login & Sign Up Buttons

On the marketing side of your community, make it easy for new users to find your web

Adding a Login & Sign Up Button to your website is a great tactic to tie your community experience to the top of your funnel and often-times a very initial touchpoint with your userbase. 

To add these buttons, you'll need to configure this, use your web tool to add the appropriate buttons to your site. The HEAD of the page or next to the main navigation is the best place to place these buttons.

When you create these buttons, you'll want to have two different actions:

To generate these buttons, we're going to adjust the URL to create a clear touchpoint in our funnel. 

Login Button 

The login button will directly take a user to your web login page:

community log in page

In constructing your login URL, we're going to add an extension to your community URL to point a user to the login page. At the end of the URL for your button, add the following:

login?type=login

So in practice, your URL will look like... 

community.site.com/login?type=login

app.domain.com/login?type=login

community.honeycommb.com/login?type=login

NOTE:  When a user clicks on that button on your site, they're going to open in a new tab, your login page! 

Sign-Up Button

The Sign-Up button will directly take a user to your web sign up page:

sign-up-page

in constructing your sign-up URL, we're going to follow a very similar step. We're going to add an extension to your community URL to point a user to the sign-up page. At the end of the URL for your button, add the following:

login?type=register

So in practice, your URL will look like... 

community.site.com/login?type=register

app.domain.com/login?type=register

community.honeycommb.com/login?type=register

NOTE:  When a user clicks on that button on your site, they're going to open in a new tab, your sign-up page!
