Just finished reading through Luke W.’s great resource on web form design, Web Form Design: Filling in the Blanks.
It’s a great overview, deep dive, and a must read for any UX/Web DesignerFront End Developer who’s interested in serving the user and building in quality efficiencies into a web form experience.
I loved the thoroughness, questions, and “Best Practices” takeaways at the end of each chapter. Allowing the reader to walk through the pros and cons and end up with a usable checklist to consider with most design tradeoffs.
A great primer I use with my UX Design class is his quick overview of top, left, right aligned form labels Web Application Form Design UIE article. And a presentation overview for a deeper view.
A good read and one I hope has seeped into my general UX design practices – even if I have to grab it off the shelf here and there 🙂 [Bonus is the PDF digital version from Rosenfield – great resources and model!]
