Typeform: Turn Data Collection Into A Human Experience
A few years ago, I completed a survey online, and it actually wasn’t a chore… it was elegant and simple. I looked up the provider, and it was Typeform. Typeform came about because the founders wanted to change how people answer questions on screens by making the process more human & more engaging. And it worked.
Let’s face it… we hit a form online, and it’s typically an awful experience. Validation is often an afterthought… submissions sometimes break… form elements are challenging to read. The entire form experience is normally broken.
Typeform has truly transformed data collection online, and it continues to improve. Typeform utilizes progressive disclosure, a method where the user is only provided with the required interaction… not overwhelmed with all the elements. This strategy in user interface and user experience design is well-known and a fantastic means of creating a superior experience.
The Benefits of Typeform
- Better Engagement – Typeform’s average completion rate is 72% higher than those of ordinary forms.
- Better Brand Experience – Typeform offers full customization capabilities that allow brands to stand out. Forms can be personalized with custom backgrounds, multiple layout options, GIFs, videos, and more.
- Better Data – Unlike traditional forms, a Typeform experience presents respondents with one question at a time. This reduces cognitive load, keeps respondents focused, and reduces form fatigue.
With Typeform, you can create interactive forms, surveys, and quizzes that make the experience of collecting information a little more human. Here’s a great overview video on the importance of form design – utilizing fonts, colors, iconography, imagery, and contrast.
