I swear… I’ll get back to the tutorials any day now!
By in the meantime, I’m doing some form redesign and I wanted to praise to the heavesn Luke Wroblewski, whose many blog posts on form usability is some of the best, most practical stuff I’ve ever seen.
Stuff I’m reading and using right now:
- Guide for aligning input fields and labels – Left align? Right align? Top align? Get some guidance here.
- Best Practices for Web Form Design – a PDF on “the importance of Web forms and a series of design best practices culled from live to site analytics, usability testing, eye-tracking studies, and best practice surveys.”
UPDATE: It turns out that Luke was at MIX… a tragedy that I’m discovering this just now. You can see his panel “The Business Value of Design” or read more about it at his website.
