The thing users hate most: Poorly designed forms! Here are 5 golden rules for form design:
5 golden rules for form design:
- 1. Use minimum fields: Only ask for information you truly need. Each extra field can decrease your conversion rate by up to 10%.
- 2. Show progress: In long forms, indicate where the user is and how much is left to complete.
- 3. Report errors instantly: Show errors during field completion, not after the user submits the form.
- 4. Logical tab order: Ensure navigation with the tab key has a natural flow.
- 5. Think mobile-friendly: Make sure touch targets are at least 44x44pt, enable autocomplete features.
Optimize your forms according to these rules and watch your completion rates increase!
