Web Form Project Discussion
When making up a web form, the most productive thing I did was look at many, many examples. I think you learn best from seeing what other people implement, then weighing the pros and cons of their work and design, and coming up with a design that incorporates the positives, and leaves out the negatives.
With this particular project, I thought keeping it to a maximum of 5 pages of grouped, relative material seemed to keep the pages short enough so the user wouldn’t have to scroll. I also thought having a progress indicator at the bottom kept the user aware of where he was along the way of the process (I learned this after hearing some feedback from a user).
Keeping the user able to click ‘next’ gave them a feeling of completion and didn’t overwhelm them with too much information on a single page.
The finished web form project can be seen here.
