Most successful websites are not stingy with space allocated for their sign up button. WordPress, as one of the most widely used Blog platform, firmly believe the size of the sign up button has a lot to do with the conversion. And most importantly, conversion is the best measurement of how successful a website, rather than fancy flash animation flying around in your website!

See, even the words used in the button has a lot to do with Google. Imagine if your Sign up now button is in graphical format, not text version…

I totally agree with you. I’ve always been a fan of big and bold, and I’m not just talking about Helvetica. Haha. In fact, there’s this thing called Fitt’s Law, a human-computer interaction model, that predicts the amount of time you need to move to a target area on your screen. To cut a long story short, it suggests that the bigger a target area for an object like a button, the easier it is to interact with it. It’s good to know that sometimes there’s science behind common sense! =)
