Two distinct paths — Host (free, instant access) vs Pro (application, reviewed). This is the first trust signal — pros are vetted before joining. Social proof bar reinforces community size and quality metrics. The "Always Free" badge on host and "Free Tier Available" on pro reduce signup hesitation.

Host signup is intentionally simple — 4 required fields (name, email, password). Optional event info helps with recommendations. Social login reduces friction (expected 40%+ usage). City/State defaults the search area. Guest count and event type allow the platform to tailor pro suggestions immediately after signup.

Post-signup immediately shows value — no dead end. Three clear paths keep new users engaged. Email verification happens in background and does not block the user from exploring. The "Resend email" link handles common delivery issues. Each card maps to a primary user action to reduce time-to-value.

Pro application is intentionally more detailed — vetting is the core trust mechanism. Insurance and license questions establish credibility before the profile goes live. "In Progress" option for insurance is pragmatic (many new pros are still getting insured). Multi-step visual (Account → Business → Review) reduces perceived complexity. Service category determines the profile template and which search results the pro appears in. Phone number is required for pros to enable direct contact with hosts.

Clear expectation setting. Pros know exactly what to expect and when. Transparency about the review process builds trust with the pros themselves. The 4-step timeline gives pros a sense of progress and reduces "what happens now?" anxiety. Email verification is mentioned but doesn't block the confirmation screen.

Sign in supports both host and pro accounts with the same form — the toggle determines which dashboard they land on. Social login (Google, Apple) appears above email fields for maximum visibility and reduced friction. "Forgot password?" triggers an email reset flow. The host/pro toggle is a soft switch — both account types use the same credentials, but the toggle sets the default dashboard view on login.
