Your Call to Action (CTA) Button

Please put your CTA “Sign Up Online” button above the fold and easily seen. This means the user shouldn’t have to scroll to find it. If it’s too hard to find, chances are the user will leave and look elsewhere for service. Provide your users with the shortest path possible to the signup form.
