Challenge: Email sign-up form
Categories
Front-End Challenges Club - Challenge #001
The first ever challenge is an incredibly common design pattern: an email sign-up form. We’re keeping it simple with ours, but there’s some hidden details that if you get right, you’ll create a solid user experience for everyone.
The brief permalink
Take the design assets and re-create the sign-up form with whatever front-end technology you want. This is a front-end challenge, so don’t worry about handling form data or any back-end stuff.
Make sure that your challenge solution does the following as a minimum:
- Validates the user’s email address
- Manages focus and uses appropriate focus styles
- Uses appropriate, semantic elements
- Provides a baseline accessible user experience
Bonus points awarded if:
- You use progressive enhancement
- You use modern CSS
- Your solution is lightweight and performant
- Your solution is fully accessible and uses appropriate
aria
roles and regions - You create subtle transitions and animations between states
