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.

app.domain.com/login?type=login
community.honeycommb.com/login?type=login

The Sign-Up button will directly take a user to your web 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!
