How To Design Forms Like An Expert
In the digital world, forms are everywhere. Whether you’re designing an online shoe store or creating a virtual banking interface, forms represent the focal point through which your users interact with your product. Yet, despite their importance and their ubiquity, users rarely like filling forms out. It’s hard to blame them, after all, websites and apps go wrong with form design all too often.
Having outstanding user experience across your website will not give you real business results if you ignore the UX of your forms. In other words, the forms you provide will play a critical role in turning a casual browser into a customer. In fact, research indicates that bad forms are the #2 reason why digital products lose customers!
In this Master Class webinar, you’ll crack the code behind successful and effective form design. You’ll learn:
- Why users usually hate forms
- Common usability issues with forms
- How to make your forms easy to use
- How to improve the completion rate of your forms
- How to use forms to create user delight
- How to handle and prevent errors in forms
- How to avoid dark patterns in forms
You’ll learn from Zoltan Kollin’s 10+ years of experience as a UX designer and educator, and you’ll gain practical, easy-to-apply strategies to improve the UX and success of your forms.
That’s right—a successful form is a win-win situation, because it will help elevate the UX of your product and generate real business results and revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why aren’t the Master Class webinars free of cost for members?
While the Master Class webinars aren’t free, they are open to both members and non-members of Interaction Design Foundation. While non-members pay $50 per webinar, members pay only $5. We charge this nominal fee to cover a few costs associated with producing the webinars, including:
The cost of using Zoom as our webinar partner. Zoom is one of the most reliable webinar hosting platforms, but it’s also one of the most expensive. We chose quality over affordability to bring you a better viewing experience, and the nominal fee we charge helps us cover these costs, without making the webinars expensive.
Along with the cost of Zoom, we also cover webinar costs associated with servers, payment gateways and code maintenance. In fact, 40 cents off every dollar in a transaction goes towards just the payment gateway alone!
Charging this small fee goes a long way in helping us cover these costs and enables us to continue to bring you high-quality content with the best experts.

I’m a member, but I cannot see all the Master Classes I purchased on my profile. How can I find the ones that are missing?
After each Master Class broadcast, our video editors painstakingly edit, improve and enhance the quality of these recordings to give you a better experience—but this process takes time, and that’s why there’s sometimes a delay in making them available within your profile.
Until recent Master Class recordings appear in your profile, you can always playback any of the Master Classes you’ve purchased using the Zoom recording links you received after the broadcast. Can’t find these recording links? Then please email mads.soegaard@interaction-design.org for assistance.
