Website Optimization Essential: Web Form Design (Pt. 2) 

Required Form Fields

Before we dive into the details of required form fields, we would like to invite you to read our Web Form Design Part 1 if you missed it. It’ll teach you a thing or two about labels and how they influence completion time. Now, required form fields are most useful when there are lots of fields but very few are required. They enable users to quickly scan the form to see what fields need to be filled in. The opposite of this is referred to as optional fields, or fields that aren’t required. It’s useful to note optional fields when there are very few optional fields in the form. Remember, there really isn’t a need to note required or optional fields if all of your fields are required. Here’s are some examples of what the two look like:

Supplement: 5 Lessons Learned in Site Retargeting

Abstract CD'sIn the past, we’ve talked a lot about digital advertising’s close cousin - remarketing. Some in the digital marketing realm may refer to this as website retargeting, but they’re both essentially the same thing. This type of digital advertising has the ability to appear in front of customers when they visit other sites on the Internet. They are triggered by a variety of different actions that a customer may make with your website. For instance, you may see remarketing ads if you’ve viewed a specific product on a website, or if you’ve place an item in your “shopping cart” but abandoned the transaction. All this being said, we stumbled across the Software Advice blog where we found an interesting article by Derek Singleton a couple days ago, and we thought it’d be the perfect opportunity to teach you some more! Before we start - If you’re still confused as to what a “remarketing advertisement” actually is, we urge you to take a look at some online examples of remarketing.
