I have a registration feature on my site, and am thinking about adding a few other forms to aggregate client information... but, am not sure of the best ways to do so... I'm wonder what are general form completion rates, general design tips, as well placement locations within information... Do you guys have any general information where I can find material to do some reading?... Also, I'm not even certain of the exact terminology to search for, so even a keyword phrase to search for would be helpful as well... Thanks... Starke
Here are some research papers and articles: Attrition Patterns in Online Surveys - by Michael Braun Hamilton, Online Survey Analyst XForms: XML Powered Web Forms - By T. V. Raman Web Application Form Design - by Luke Wroblewski Designing Accessible Web Forms - from American Foundation for the Blind Creating Accessible Forms - General Form Accessibility
Interesting stuff Jerad. Certainly helpful about form design. I'll have to look more closely at the attrition patterns paper.
