Creating friendly forms for how humans really think
Web forms don’t have a decent reputation, and rightfully so. Very often they are inaccessible and difficult to use, with awkward live validation and notorious error messages, painful dropdowns, broken logic, and horrendously evil CAPTCHAs in the disguise of street signs and crosswalks. In this session, we’ll learn common pain points that customers experience way too frequently, how to solve them, and how to create an interface that excels at getting the information from the customer in a way that’s friendly, accessible and obvious — helping conversion and business KPIs along the way. Vitaly will show you the do’s and don’ts for web forms and share insights on human psychology and how people think when they are dealing with a purchase decision, a subscription form for or signing up for a newsletter.
