How big should form fields be?
For form fields with a variable input (name or email) length but within a standard average, you should find a suitable width based on the average length of possible inputs. Studies show that those input fields typically range from 18 to 33 characters.
Why do we need to make mobile web forms effective and efficient?
Efficiency becomes an important aspect. The longer it takes for users to fill in a mobile form, there is a higher possibility that failures or errors could happen, for instance, drop of connection. In addition, there might be costs involved for mobile data.
What makes an effective form?
A good form is scannable, doesn't require a lot of typing and includes smart labeling and formatting to help users fill out forms correctly the first time.
