Five takes on the invite band

The current band pairs a short headline with a seven-field form, so the form outweighs everything around it. Each of these keeps the same backdrop and copy and changes only how much it asks for up front.

1. Button only

No form here at all. One button through to /invite, which already has the full form and the perks list.

OpenCrawl is invite-only, for now.

We’re onboarding teams in small batches so every crawl gets our full attention.

2. Email bar, then the invite page

One field with the button inside it. It carries the email over to /invite, prefilled, and the rest is asked there.

OpenCrawl is invite-only, for now.

We’re onboarding teams in small batches. Leave your work email to get in the queue.

A couple of quick questions on the next page, then you’re on the list.

3. One question at a time

Google sign-in style: email, then name and company, then site and role. The card stays one field tall.

OpenCrawl is invite-only, for now.

We’re onboarding teams in small batches so every crawl gets our full attention. It takes three quick answers.

Start with your work email
Who should we address it to?
What will you be crawling?

We’ll only use your email to send your invite.

4. Email bar that opens up

Starts as the email bar. A valid email unfolds the optional questions beneath it, with a way to skip them.

Thanks. A little context helps us get you in sooner — all optional.
