Résumé
Forms make or break the most crucial online interactions: checkout (commerce), registration (community), data input (participation and sharing), and any task requiring information entry. In Web Form Design, Luke Wroblewski draws on original research, his considerable experience at Yahoo! and eBay, and the perspectives of many of the field's leading designers to show you everything you need to know about designing effective and engaging Web forms.
"Luke Wroblewski has done the entire world a great favor by writing this book. Online forms are ubiquitous and ubiquitously annoying but they don't have to be. Wroblewski shows Web designers how to present forms that gather necessary information without unnecessarily badgering and annoying visitors. With deft explanations and clear examples, he presents a clear case for better Web forms and how to achieve them. This book will help you every day."

Experienced practitioners will engage at a deeper level with issues and solutions they may or may not have encountered before.
Why you need an entire book on web form design
As arbitrators of checkout, registration, and data entry, forms are often the linchpins of successful Web applications.
- Checkout forms are how eCommerce vendors close deals -they stand between people and the products or services they want and between companies and their profits. Example: eBay's vast inventory (it's the 30th largest economy in the World) is driven by their Sell Your Item form.
- Registration forms are the gatekeepers to community membership -they allow people to define their identity within social applications. All of MySpace's 150+ million users joined through a Web form.
- Data input forms allow users to contribute and share and companies to grow content. All of YouTube's videos come from their Upload Your Video form.
Despite the importance of these interactions, the design of the forms that enable them is often poorly thought through. Understanding the considerations and best practices of form design will help designers, developers, and product teams of all levels of experience make better decisions about the crucial interactions that enable their Web businesses and applications.
