Effective Form Design

Learn what to do and what not to do when designing HTML forms in Photoshop.

In this tutorial we're going to focus on good form design. A form, in and of itself is something that you really need to optimize in order to alleviate the stress that it places on the visitor. Visitors are often very picky, they're lazy. If your form is designed poorly, all clumped together, hard to understand, etc.., then less people will fill it out.

So in order to lower your bounce ratio (which is how many people leave the page instead of actually performing the desired action) on your forms, there are a few things you need to do and that's what we'll be looking at in this tutorial.
