Form Building Best Practices

Don't Make Us Guess

Use clear and concise labels. Don't make your users wonder what the form is for or what each field does.

  • Label each field with a descriptive text.
  • Use a standard format for all fields.
  • Make sure the label is not too long or too short.

Example:

Username:

Password:

Keep it Short and Sweet

Don't ask for too much information at once. Keep the form concise and easy to fill out.

  • Limit the number of fields.
  • Use dropdown menus and radio buttons where possible.
  • Avoid nested forms.
