The current design for a sign-up page of mine is split into 2 sections - Sign up using your social media account
on the left and a sign-up form with 5 inputs on the right. We ran a quick user test and found that more people were signing up with their emails. We want to encourage users to connect with their Facebook/Twitter accounts instead.
I researched the matter and saw that some sites display the social media links prominently and have a smaller Sign up with email
text link. Users need to click the link to access the form.
Those solution are only ones I have found so far. I am wondering if anyone has had these design requirements and found a more effective solution?
Update: I also found a solution where the site says something like "Don't be old-school. Sign up with Facebook instead". It sounded a bit rude, and I'm not partial to this solution.
