How to Create an Online Registration Form

Online registration forms allow registrants to fill out information at their leisure and instantaneously submit it. You can add this feature to just about any event that requires registration.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

1. Identify the website you prefer to use to create your online registration form. Some website publishing software packages may include this feature, in which case you will need to look no further for outside assistance. If you prefer to use external resources, consider websites that charge small or no fees for usage.
2. Determine the layout of your registration form and the type of information you require from your registrant. Most forms begin with personal contact information such as name, company, address, telephone number and email address. Subsequent questions depend on the type of information pertinent to your event. Such information may include special accommodations, flight preferences, dietary needs, accessibility, and participation for scheduled activities.
3. Select specific formatting that is appropriate for the question. For open-ended questions such as name or company, provide text fields to fill out the information. For answer-specific questions, provide a drop-down menu to limit answer input. An example would be specific dates for hotel accommodations.
4. Include open-ended fields for providing additional information, adding comments or asking questions.
5. Test your completed registration form. Look for errors or possible improvements to the form. If possible, request that a friend or colleague complete the form and provide comments or suggestions.
6. Post your form online using a hyperlink or email the form to potential registrants.
