However, designing effective web forms isn’t easy. And it has one simple reason: nobody likes to fill in forms — neither offline nor online. Therefore, as designers, we need to figure out sound design decisions to make the form completion easy, intuitive and painless.

Good design can encourage users to become a paid customers but poor design can put users off and cause them to leave before purchasing anything.
