During step of the Sign-Up process each user has to choose his account type, if he is an Employer or a Job Seeker…. So far so good.

However this choice is not really prominent and in user tests we did, most of our users overlooked this topic completely and all signed up as Job Seekers as this is the default choice…

Is there a way to make this whole account type choice more prominent and maybe even add some text explaining it to this area or separate it completely with a separator before and one after???

I have added a screenshot outlining the area I am talking about.

Thanks

Heiko

Hi
I did it my way. and it works perfectly. You’ll find it under layout template, folder usergroup, defautl.php

at around line 145, it looks now

<?php if ($this->temp_usertype==”) { ?>
<div align=”center”>
<h3><?php echo JText::_(“Important: Choose Account type”)?>:
</h3><?php

Hope that helps
Regards
makia
