Things to consider
- Simplicity and Clarity - Make sure the questions are clear and easily understandable. Avoid using complex language or industry jargon that might confuse the responder.
- Organized Sections - Group your questions into sections, the way it's done in the example, to make it easier for the user to go through the form. This will also help them understand what kind of information you are seeking in each section.
- Use of Appropriate Field Types - Choose HTML5 field types that are best suited for the question to simplify the response process. For instance, use 'select' for multiple-choice questions and 'textarea' for open-ended questions.
- Avoid Asking for Sensitive Information - As a rule of thumb, avoid asking for sensitive information unless absolutely necessary. If you must, make sure to reassure users that their data will be securely stored and used.
- Mobile-Friendly Design - Ensure that your form is responsive and can be easily filled out on various devices, including mobile phones and tablets. A significant number of users might access your form on these devices.
- Provide a Progress Indicator - If the form is lengthy, include a progress indicator. This helps users understand how much of the form they've completed and how much is left, reducing the chances of them leaving the form halfway.
- Assurance of Support - Include a note or section that assures the organization that their needs and challenges are being heard. This can comfort the user and encourage them to complete the form.
