Example using bootstrap:

from django.contrib import messages

class RegisterView(generic.CreateView):
    form_class = forms.UserCreateForm
    success_url = '/signin/'
    .
    .
    .
    def form_valid(self, form):
        form.save()
        messages.add_message(self.request, messages.SUCCESS, "User account created successfully!")
        return HttpResponseRedirect(self.success_url)
