Content
The information required for a questionnaire is very important. You must first gather all all the information’s you need to know and measure its importance. You have to adapt the size of your form to what the user has to gain. It is best to reduce the size of a form as much as possible to limit errors and engage as widely as possible.
Always remember to give some guidance on which fields to fill (how the field should be filled, especially dates and times). Remember also to indicate the mandatory fields in your form. Don’t put too much mandatory fields, because that way you lose participants.
Call to action
Call-to-action term is a very important point when developing your forms. The user must be stimulated so that filling the form is not a chore but a pleasant task. For example if you want to organize a contest through a form, prefer terms like «I participate» or «I enter the competition» on your submit button.
Title
The user takes part to something, his participation is not only recognized but also has a real impact. Do not forget to give a significant title to your forms, this is very important for the identification of the request by your users.
Warning
If the user fills a field with an error or in the wrong form, plan a specific warning message so that he does not have to re-fill the entire questionnaire.
Thank you page
Do not forget a page of thanks and confirmation. On this occasion, you can invite the person to follow you on social networks or redirect them to a page of your site or an external page.
Email Notification Confirmation
If you wish to send e-mail communications to those who fill out your forms, always include a check box on your form to obtain their consent.
