Things to consider
- Keep It User Friendly - The form should be easy to navigate and fill out. Use simple language and avoid legal jargon where possible. Make sure the form is mobile-friendly since many people might fill it out on a smartphone or tablet.
- Avoid Overcrowding - While getting as much information as possible is necessary, try not to overcrowd the form with too many questions. This might discourage the user from completing the form.
- Use Conditional Questions - Use form features that only show certain questions based on previous answers. For example, the question about the name and contact of the legal representative should only appear if the user previously selected 'Yes' for engaging legal representation.
- Privacy Matters - Make sure to include a privacy statement. Users should know why you need the information, how you will use it, and who will have access to it. This will increase their trust and increase the likelihood they will complete the form.
- Offer Assistance - Some users may need help or have questions while filling out the form. Consider including help texts, tooltips, or a customer service contact for support.
- Error Handling - Ensure your form has good error handling. If a user makes an error or forgets a required field, the system should clearly mark the error and explain how to correct it.
- Progress Indicators - If the form is long, use progress indicators. This helps users know how much of the form they have completed and how much is left, which can motivate them to finish filling it out.
