Website main action requires Sign Up: sign-up first vs sign-up on submit?
I am building a website in which we rely on the community to build contribute to publically available resources.
The main call to actions on our landing page will be browse and contribute.
The contribution requires login for our purposes. The question is:
- Do I take the users who click on contribute from there to a contribution page (which has a form and video recording input) then prompt them to sign up to be able to submit their contribution.
OR
- Do I force them to sign up to be able to view the contribution page at the first place?
