Designing Digital Forms - boring?
Digital forms...
are the medium for the most direct contact between
the customers / users and a digital system.
may contribute in gaining or losing trust in our site
and (not) push users go to our competition.
often are examples of bad UX and usage possibilities
and can influence the image of the offeror of the
service.
So,not that boring,but rather
a big deal.
The fundamental problems
Media switch: paper forms vs. digital (web) forms
Lack of consistent visual guidance for the users
Not enough transparency of the filling form process
(opposed to the paper forms).
Goals
Successfully and simple filling of the form
(no one wants to fill forms)
Being transparent
Be failure and format tolerant
Suggest default values that make sense
Pay attention to the context
(familiar vs. unfamiliar,often filled vs. rarely filled forms)
Consistent style
(design and wording)
By the way forms look,they establish a relationship and a
conversation. A form should represent a conversation,
not an interrogation
Where to put the label?
Mind the visual relationships.
Increased vertical space
Label on top
Proximity to input
Simple forms which should
be quickly scanned
Rapid processing

Label on top

Visually more cohesive
relationship between input and label.
Single-column perception
Proximity to input
Reduced readability
Less simple forms,
but rather familiar forms
Reduced vertical space
Label on right
Source: yahoo.com
Proximity to input
Easy to scan labels
Complex forms,
quick scannability of
what is needed
Reduced vertical space
Label on left

Visually less cohesive
2-column perception
Clearly distinguish which input fields cannot be left blank
by the user.
Mandatory fields
This means the form doesn't get cluttered with asterisks.
Good thinking as the label speaks for itself.
Mandatory fields - optional stuff in (brackets)
Source: UX Movement
Why Users Fill Out Less If You Mark Required Fields
If you need to restrict the format of data inputted by users,
then at least do so in a way that won’t irritate users.
For example,instead of displaying DD/MM/YYYY next to a text
field for a date,consider using three drop-down fields or,
better yet,a calendar control.
Being format tolerant
DD/MM/YYYY
D-M-YY
DD.MM.YYYY
Use smart defaults to make the user’s completion of the
form faster and more accurate.
Suggest default values and visual cues that make sense.

  • 1. Designing Digital Forms *Presentation Title ana.risteska@netcetera.com AnaRisteska, UIdesigner &front-enddeveloper a.risteska@gmail.com#6Front-end meetupSkopje /09.Feb.‘16/HacklabKIKA
  • 3. Digital forms... are the medium for the most direct contact between the customers / users and a digital system. may contribute in gaining or losing trust in our site and (not) push users go to our competition. often are examples of bad UX and usage possibilities and can influence the image of the offeror of the service.
  • 4. So,not that boring,but rather a big deal.
  • 5. The fundamental problems Media switch: paper forms vs. digital (web) forms Lack of consistent visual guidance for the users Not enough transparency of the filling form process (opposed to the paper forms).
  • 6. Goals Successfully and simple filling of the form (no one wants to fill forms) Being transparent Be failure and format tolerant Suggest default values that make sense Pay attention to the context (familiar vs. unfamiliar,often filled vs. rarely filled forms) Consistent style (design and wording)
  • 7. By the way forms look,they establish a relationship and a conversation. A form should represent a conversation, not an interrogation Where to put the label? Mind the visual relationships.
  • 8. Increased vertical space Label on top Proximity to input Simple forms which should be quickly scanned Rapid processing Increased vertical space Proximity to input Simple forms which should be quickly scanned Rapid processing Source: gmail.com
  • 9. Label on top Source: gmail.com Visually more cohesive relationship between input and label. Single-column perception
  • 10. Proximity to input Reduced readability Less simple forms, but rather familiar forms Reduced vertical space Label on right Source: yahoo.com
  • 11. Proximity to input Easy to scan labels Complex forms, quick scannability of what is needed Reduced vertical space Label on left Source: barnes and noble (older example)
  • 12. Label on left Source: barnes and noble (older example) Visually less cohesive 2-column perception
  • 13. Clearly distinguish which input fields cannot be left blank by the user. Mandatory fields
  • 14. This means the form doesn't get cluttered with asterisks. Good thinking as the label speaks for itself. Mandatory fields - optional stuff in (brackets) Source: UX Movement Why Users Fill Out Less If You Mark Required Fields
  • 15. If you need to restrict the format of data inputted by users, then at least do so in a way that won’t irritate users. For example,instead of displaying DD/MM/YYYY next to a text field for a date,consider using three drop-down fields or, better yet,a calendar control. Being format tolerant DD/MM/YYYY D-M-YY DD.MM.YYYY
  • 16. Use smart defaults to make the user’s completion of the form faster and more accurate. Suggest default values and visual cues that make sense. Smart defaults Source: twitter.comSource: twitter.com
