User Story
How My Design Addresses It
Registration Flow
Multi-step form avoids overwhelming new users
Dropdowns used for region/role help reduce typing effort
Success state includes next-step CTA for smooth transition
Responsive Design Strategy
Buttons and input fields sized at 44px+ to ensure effortless interaction during high-stress scenarios.

User Testing Insights
80% of testers successfully completed the OTP step without confusion, citing the clean layout, clear instructions,
Users hesitated at unclear microcopy like “Resend” until tooltip help was added.
Mobile users found bottom-aligned CTAs easier to reach, improving task completion speed.
First-time users skipped reading confirmation screens, this highlighted the need for visual checkmarks and brief summaries.
Design Takeaways
Clarity builds trust: Secure flows must inform, not overwhelm.
Inline validation, confirmation messages, and visible errors reduced drop-offs.
Designing for constraints early helped eliminate redundancies.
Splitting steps lowered form fatigue and improved conversion.
