[email protected] Quick Facts: Weekly Availability: 24 hrs, INDIA (GMT+8.00) Web Site: www.ravishankersargunam.com Years of experience: 7, UI Designer, Usability Usability Review of web application form I have just finished my Usability training, and since then have been reading a lot on web about usability and its best practices, especially in regard to User Interface design for website and web applications. And while surfing I came across this site, which has a bad example of form design, overlooking some basic usability rules. This is how the form looks:
Some of my observation based on knowledge gained during training and research I have been doing on web: Form Layout: Center aligning text label and fields, not left aligning, which is not the common scanning pattern for English reading user? Form Layout: Too many white lines and colors used for separating fields, which adds lot of visual elements to page, attracting user’s eye and taking away attention from the key element. This could have been achieved by just white space. Form Layout: Vertical label though helps in rapid scanning but adds lot of vertical space to the page. Content: Use of terminology on page, for instance ‘obligatory’, instead of commonly used terminology like “Required”. Also placement of same is proximally disjointed with the form, which is against the Law of Proximity stated in Gestalt’s Principle.
