<AuthShell heading="Create an account" description="Start your 30-day free trial." pattern="grid">

## Add

```sh
npx @ava-ui/apogee add sign-up/simple
```

This copies the page to `src/components/apogee/pages/sign-up/` with everything it uses: AuthShell, Button, FeaturedIcon, Input, Link, PasswordChecklist, Tabs. Render it from one of your routes, or use **Copy code** above.

## Accessibility

-   The page heading is the `h1`; the fields carry visible labels and `autocomplete` hints (`new-password` for new passwords, so password managers offer to generate one).
-   The password rules sit under the field and are part of its description; the field stays invalid until they hold. See [PasswordChecklist](https://apogee.avaui.dev/docs/password-checklist).
-   The SSO button is a link to your identity provider; swap its `href` for your own.
