CraftCMS Signup Form Creation
In this video, I walk you through creating a functional signup form in CraftCMS.
We upgrade to a pro account, set up necessary templates, and ensure everything works smoothly for user registration. This tutorial demonstrates how to upgrade to a CraftCMS pro account, create a clean signup form template, and set up user registration with proper error handling and email verification.
