This kind of got-it-wrong pain is familiar to anyone who's had an online event registration form go live without all the necessary details. The good news is it's avoidable, with a little careful stepping.

So take your positions please...

A One... Make a list of all your requirements and triple check these are included before the form goes live. Why?

• It's so much harder to make changes to a form once it's active, as the possibility of mucking up registrations already in the system increases when new requests are added, because the data fields may not match up.

      • Additional changes to a live form could cost you more money, because the time involved in amending and retesting a form can be lengthy. It may also be necessary to close off online registration while this is happening and you could miss out on the people wanting to signup.
