Things to consider

  1. Form Length - Keep the form concise to avoid overwhelming the person filling it out. Only include necessary questions that provide the information you need to complete the commission successfully.
  2. Field Types - Use appropriate HTML5 input types for each question, making it easier for the user to fill out the form. For example, use 'date' for deadlines and 'number' for budgets.
  3. Responsive Design - Ensure the form is compatible with both desktop and mobile devices, so users can fill it out on any platform without issues.
  4. Clear Instructions - Provide clear, concise instructions and examples for any complex or detailed questions, making it easier for users to understand what information they need to provide.
  5. Progress Indicator - If your form is on the longer side, consider adding a progress indicator to show users how much of the form they have completed. This can motivate them to continue filling it out.
  6. Confirmation Message - After the form is submitted, display a confirmation message to let the user know their submission was successful. This reassures them that their information has been received.
  7. Data Privacy - Ensure you communicate how the collected information will be used and stored, complying with data privacy regulations. Include a privacy policy link or GDPR consent checkbox if required.
