Important tips for building any form on your site

A very high percentage of sites contain a form to register user information. This form may be used on the page for user registration on a regular site, or it may be used on a landing page used by an affiliate marketer who receives a fee for every registration process. There are many examples of the uses of forms on pages and sites, all of which aim to encourage the user to register. In today’s article, I present to you, dear reader, a set of important tips that you must take into consideration when adding any form to your site. The form is the last step in making the decision to register on the site or not. Registration, so neglecting form design may cause you to lose many of your visitors and followers. Follow with me these tips for form design in today’s article on SEO in Arabic. Contents of the topic Toggle The first tip: The initial impression of the form The second tip: The amount of information required The third tip: The method of entering data The fourth tip: Use shortcuts The fifth tip: Save the user’s information The first tip: The initial impression of the form It is known that what the user hates most is entering his data. Keep in mind that the user is lazy and does not like to enter data, so the design of your form must leave the impression on the user that what you are requesting from him is not a large amount of information. Many forms contain a lot of information required to complete the registration process, but they are able to It attracts a large number of users through its ability to give an initial impression that the data required is few and will not require much effort. One of the tricks used in this matter is the use of tabs to hide the number of fields, or entering information in steps and not all at once on one page. I do not know what technique you follow, but try to give an initial impression that the data required is few and does not require much effort. Second advice: The amount of information required. Remove all fields that can be dispensed with in the registration process. Try to limit the form to basic information and data that cannot be dispensed with. For example, it has spread recently and in many forums a field in the form asking the user about the method by which he reached the site. The question is “How did you hear about us” or “How Did You Hear About Us?”

"A question that I think can be dispensed with, and by dispensing with it, you reduce the data required for registration and encourage more users to register. Third tip: How to enter data. As I mentioned earlier, the user is lazy and does not like to enter data, so your next task is to facilitate the data entry process as much as possible, by replacing manual writing with drop-down lists and using auto-completion processes. A final piece of advice on this point in particular, if your site tests the availability of the name (username) when doing the registration process, i.e. It tests whether the name already exists or not, and if it exists, the user is asked to choose another name. In this test, make the checking process instantaneous and while writing the name. Do not wait for the user to press the register button or until he moves to another field. Do the check every time he types a letter and inform him of whether the name is available or not immediately. This ensures that the user does not get bored due to many attempts and thus does not refrain from registering on your site. Fourth tip: Use shortcuts. I will explain this advice with a quick example In most online shopping sites, when you register, you find in the form a place to register your residential address and a place to register an address to have your goods shipped to. In most cases, the address is the same, so do not force the user to write the same address twice, but rather provide him with a shortcut that is a correct sign that he clicks on, and the same address is used for shipping.

Fifth tip: Save user information. When the user clicks on the register button and an error occurs when verifying the entered data, the user will be redirected to the registration page. If the fields are empty and the user will need to re-enter them again, then believe me, he will leave your site immediately. It is important to save the data, or at least make sure that the browser saves the data, to encourage those lazy people - and we are all lazy like them who do not like to bother ourselves with the registration processes - to register on your site.
