The beauty of web form design
November 9th, 2008 | Published in UXD
Couple months ago I bought a digital copy of Luke Wroblewski’s book “Web Form Design – Filling in the Blanks”. Form design may not be as sexy as designing the home page, but well functioning, usable forms are important to users. A badly designed form can easily frustrate users and even drive them away from the site – which may mean that they didn’t sign up for your service, buy your products or answer your survey.
Wroblewski’s book is well written and offers many good examples, I highly recommend it to all IAs/UXDs. And I love the cover design of all of Rosenfeld Media’s books. Lou Rosenfeld has just published an interview with Wroblewski on his site.
