How do you design a registration form?

I am trying to learn about registration forms, what should I be careful about when designing one? Is there any "best practice" or do you know any great websites with great examples of registration forms?

(For example, I like the facebook.com registration form, the one when you sign up the first time)

Answer

I would say you should Consider these things whenever you design a form :

1. Make Your Form Easy to understand


2. Choose Your Colors Wisely


3. Make it short and sweet (long pages/details irritates)


4. Design logically and easy to complete



5. A high contrast, easy to follow flow
