| I've building my own site for the last 5 months now and I've been knee deep in usability like this. It always comes down to what is the easiest path you can possibly give to your users. I'd do away with the whole extra click of making someone 'accept' or 'decline' the invite. Just have the two buttons in the dialog, on the first screen. Don't make me read, then click, then read again, then click. There is no logical reason for that extra step at all. The button on the right should be the 'continue' or 'ok' button and the one on the left should be the 'cancel' button. Don't use text for 'cancel' or 'decline', just make them buttons. The buttons should be right aligned at the bottom of the text. This is how the user expects things to be based on UX experience of their operating system, don't confuse users by changing it up. I just spent 5 minutes in Balsamiq mocking something up for you [1]. I'm not super happy with the decline button, I might play around with it in different areas (or ideally get rid of it all together). The point being that there is no need for the 'accept' step, since they aren't accepting anything, they are signing in or creating an account. By the way, for my site, we got ride of the whole create an account process entirely. We just have sign in. User clicks sign in and they have the option of using their FB account (with the bare minimal permissions) or using a BrowserID account (which only requires an email and password). Keep it as simple as possible. [1] https://img.skitch.com/20120130-dh9hf6mtt8wwemtgcjy7rq16t2.j... Good luck. |
