Other helpful form design tips:
✔️Avoid placing too much text on a single page. A wall of text is stressful.
✔️White space helps guide users to important information, encourages users to keep reading and gives the brain a break.
✔️Font size is vital to ensure readability.
What visual elements should #courts use in form design? All the below.
Tip: Place the right information in the right location. Compose your form from the top left corner for highest priority. Make the form "glance-able," so that a user can understand the form in under a minute.
To create better forms, #courts need to view forms from the user's perspective. A successful court form should be engaging, strategic and comprehensive. It should also be easily accessible.
For many, forms are the entry point to the civil legal system. Yet, #court form development and design can sometimes be overlooked.
A successful form is an access to justice key, helping users participate in the court system.
Our Forms Camp webinar series is starting soon. Register: https://t.co/NzjAkEqKsp.
