Скачать или смотреть UX Design Best Practices for Forms: How to Prevent Error Messages

How can you design forms that are user-friendly, intuitive, and free from unnecessary error messages? In this video, Vitaly Friedman explores UX design best practices for forms, focusing on strategies to prevent errors before they occur. Whether you're working on required and optional fields or thinking about how to design better error messages, this video provides actionable insights to enhance your form UX design.

One of the key challenges in form design is helping users easily understand what’s required and what’s optional. Should you mark fields with an asterisk? Should you explicitly label fields as “Optional” or “Required”? Vitaly breaks down research-backed approaches from sources like Gov.uk, Baymard Institute, and Nielsen Norman Group. For example, Gov.uk advocates marking only optional fields, while Baymard Institute and Nielsen Norman Group recommend labeling both required and optional fields to avoid confusion. But is there a better way to handle this? Vitaly introduces innovative design techniques to simplify forms and minimize errors, such as using dynamic elements to make optional fields less prominent or hiding them until users actively engage with them. These strategies align with the principle of preventing errors rather than relying on error messages to fix issues after they occur. By rethinking how we present forms, designers can create seamless experiences where users can focus on completing their tasks without unnecessary friction.

This video is packed with tips on designing forms, preventing error messages, and improving the overall user experience. If you’re looking to refine your form UX design and adopt best practices, you’ll find valuable insights here.
