Document Summary

Web forms allow us to communicate about a service or a product that we are interested in. Valuable for the companies using them: commerce increased purchases and maximize sales, social growing communities, use of third party ads, productivity increased manpower, product offerings, managing information, selling services. Forms have to communicate with one voice: must choose what components to keep, cut or postpone. One long page when a form contains a large number of questions related to a single topic. Multiple pages if a form contains a large number of questions that are related by a few topics. Mobile devices: sequential groups of questions that have to be asked to complete a task. Have to go through each question to get to the next. E. g. registration, checkout, anything requiring answers: non-linear each possible input can be selected and edited in a separate screen or dialog. No need to go through each field, input can be separately modified.
