How to Design a User Friendly Website Form?

Improve Your Sales by 100% - How to design a user-friendly website form.

Web forms are a way by which websites obtain data from their visitors and customers to preserves for future references. Web forms are required for a lot of things like signing up for newsletters, making online purchases, giving feedback about various products and services etc. so, web forms in most cases are the entry point of interaction between the user and the website or app.

To make things more user-friendly, web forms, therefore, should be simplified. They should be easy to complete and self- explanatory. The user should not feel the web forms to be a tedious task but should feel self- motivated to fill it.

So, if you are a web designer or a developer and looking to simplify the web forms, here are some tips that may come in handy:

Keep the web form relevant: - If your web from mandates a lot of information from the user, ask yourself how and why that information is useful to you. Keep the form relevant will be easier for the user to complete. The number of fields should be kept to the minimum. When a new user lands on your form page and sees many fields that need to be filled in, It will make them think, “Do I have time for this.” If it's very important they may take the time anyway but if you just pushing to get contact info they may just move on. A good real to go by is if you must scroll to view the full form it may be too long.

Make your web form logically communicative: - Design the form in a way that carries some logic. A web form should be comparable to a normal human conversation in terms of the order of things you want to enquire about. The perspective of the user should be taken into account. Questions should be organized in a way that similar questions are grouped together. This would make a transition from one set of questions to another much easier. If a user is bombarded by questions in a haphazard order, it can be quite overwhelming. Confusing a visitor can only push them away.

Eliminate duplicate fields: - Many websites make it mandatory for the user to duplicate a certain bit of information. But since most people simply copy and paste the info, the point of the mandate was defeated. Therefore, duplicate fields, if possible, should be eliminated. Most form plugins allow you to auto-fill fields that may need to be duplicated. Remember never confuse the user.

Highlight what is optional: - As mentioned earlier, the requirement of unnecessary information should be addressed in all web forms. However, if your web form requires optional fields, make sure that the optional areas are brought to the notice of the user. The distinction can be made with characters or colors.

Try to make the web from as automated as possible: - With more and more using their mobile devices to access websites and apps, typing is becoming a little problematic because of the smaller device screens. Also, typing is quite prone to errors. Therefore, a user- friendly web form should minimize the need for data typing and some obvious fields can be refilled or auto- completed. You may also like to opt for a completely different form for mobile devices. Create a duplicate form but remove the secondary fields. You better off getting the contact info than not getting anything at all.

Remove the reset buttons: - Imagine going through a long web form, filling it out and then accidentally falling back to square one, just because the save button is adjacent to reset button. Do not put your users through this turmoil and remove rest options from the web forms.

How to Promote Your Business Prior to Launching Your Website

Competition is so tough these days that marketers are not even waiting for the website to go live before starting their marketing blitzkrieg. And we simply can’t blame the marketers given the fact that it takes really long time to design and develop a website and to make it live on the web. First we have to plan it out in plain pen and paper, and then do some wire framing, making changes in the PSD template, editing the HTML files and so on. It is a time consuming process.

So, what are you going to do? Nobody likes the idea of paying online marketers for doing nothing till the website gets live. Believe us, you don’t have to. There is something you can do to promote your business online even if the website is not ready. Just design and develop a Coming Soon page for your website.

Coming Soon page is far better than featuring a blank page or a generic template developed by your web hosting company. The good thing about this Coming Soon page is that it does not take long time to design and develop. The idea behind this is very simple – creating a buzz for the brand even before the website gets live on the web. The purpose of a Coming Soon Page is to give the users some clues as to what to expect when the final version of the website gets live. It encourages the audience to interact with your brand and to become a subscriber just to get to know what the website has in store for them.

Some websites use Coming Soon page to encourage people to be a part of its beta program but in majority of cases, companies add a ‘Subscribe’ button so that people can be notified when the final version of the website gets launched.

Now, there are few factors that you need to take into consideration before you start designing a Coming Soon page for your website. Allow us explain them to you –

Focus On Brand

Since your website is in development stage, we can assume that you have some elements of the design ready or at least are agreed upon. For example, if the logo is ready or if the designer has selected a color scheme for the final design, you can start building something around it. Use the color scheme, logo or the font type while creating the Coming Soon page. This will help you make people familiar with the brand. When the final version will go live, this familiarity will help people relate the new design with the design of the Coming Soon page. This will give your marketing campaign a huge fillip.

Curiosity

You want people to talk about your brand right? Of course you want but making people talk about your brand is a tough thing to achieve. However, this is not an impossible feat by any means. You just need to add some elements of curiosity in the design of the Coming Soon page that will make people think about it or at least talk about it. For example, if you are trying to sell a new washing machine via your website, a message like this – ‘Tired of washing cloth? We have Something Revolutionary for You. Sign up to get notified. ‘A simple and intriguing message like this is enough to make people feel curious about your brand.

Give Them Some Hints

When people land on the Coming Soon Page, you need to give them some sorts of hints about the upcoming product or the project. Just using a gorgeous background image with some random texts like – ‘This is a Coming Soon Page’ is not going to help the people understand what the page is all about. Why should they care about a page that does not give any information about the upcoming website? They will simply ignore it and you should not let this happen. However, we are not asking you to spill the beans but you need to give them some sort of information otherwise they might not feel interested about the Coming Soon page. Like for example, if you are launching a new book, you might consider adding some paras of it to generate interest of the people.

Keep Them Updated

People will not be visiting the Coming Soon page every day and that means, you need add a Subscribe button that will allow people to get updates about the product or the website. However, there are no fixed rules as to how many times you need to send emails to keep them updated. Maybe sending one or two mails before the final version of the website gets live is a good idea. Don’t push it too hard. Just keep it simple.

Don’t Forget the SEO

It is fact that Coming Soon pages are not likely to rank high as they don’t contain much information. But that should not stop you from making the Coming Soon page a bit search engine friendly. Make sure that you have included Meta data and the also make sure that you have not blocked anything via robots.txt file. Don’t stuff too many keywords in the page because search engines would consider that an attempt to inflate the ranking of the website artificially and therefore, it can get penalized.

So, these are some aspects of Coming Soon Page design that you need to remain aware of.
