Things to consider
- Clear and Concise Questions - Keep your questions straightforward and easy to understand. Using complex or industry-specific jargon can lead to misunderstandings and inaccuracies in responses.
- Field Validation - Use HTML5 validation features to ensure accuracy. For example, use the 'tel' type for phone numbers and 'email' type for email addresses. This prompts the user to input information in correct formats.
- Required Fields - Mark essential questions as 'required' to ensure users don't skip them. This can be done using the 'required' attribute in HTML5.
- User Friendliness - Keep the form short and simple. Long forms can deter users from filling them out. Consider using dropdowns, checkboxes, or radio buttons for questions with specific answers.
- Mobile Responsiveness - Ensure your form is mobile-friendly. As many users will be accessing and filling out your form on their smartphones, ensuring the form adapts to different screen sizes is crucial.
- Privacy Assurance - Reassure users that their information will be kept confidential and secure. This can encourage more truthful and detailed responses.
- Use of Default Values - Use default values where applicable to make form filling quicker and easier. For example, you can set a common budget range as the default answer for the budget question.
