Forms that Work by Caroline Jarrett
Explains how to design forms for the web. This work helps readers learn how to define requirements, how to write questions that users will understand and want to answer, and how to deal with instructions, progress indicators and errors. It includes examples - from nitty-gritty details (mandatory fields) to visual designs (creating good grids).
“The humble form: it may seem boring, but most of your website’s value passes through formsFollow Jarrett & Gaffney’s guidelines, and you’ll probably double your online profits. --Jakob Nielsen, Principal, Nielsen Norman Group “This book isn’t just about colons and choosing the right widgets. It’s about the whole process of making good forms, which has a lot more to do with making sure you’re asking the right questions in a way that your users can answer than it does with whether you use a drop-down list or radio buttons. --Steve Krug, Foreword author and author of the best selling Don’t Make me Think “If your web site includes forms, you need this book. It's that simple. In an easy-to-read format with lots of examples, Caroline and Gerry present their three-layer model -- relationship, conversation, appearance. You need all three for a successful form -- a form that looks good, flows well, asks the right questions in the right way, and, most important of all, gets people to fill it out. --Janice (Ginny) Redish, author of Letting Go of the Words -- Writing Web Content that Works
