Web Form Tips by Layla

Here are some tips for making web forms. I welcome your feedback!

1. keep form names lowercase: Generally, I try to do this. Every once in awhile I have to work with a system that is case sensitive, and having to know the cases in my filenames is most annoying.

2. Keep pages short: You don't want to have users scrolling much. One page in a word document does not need to take up one web form. You can break it up into nice, user-friendly chunks.

3. Make text readable: don't user oversaturated colors, don't make the text to small, and put lots of whitespace - the reading equivalent of breathing room.
