2, filling up very simple?
3, filling up very time-consuming?
4, the whole process is not a lot of steps?
5, page security?
6, the amount of information required by the form is reasonable?
Once the visitor starts filling out the form, he will have a few more questions:

Looks like a problem.
Some forms of the elements are not very friendly, such as: Xu Xian input information text box is too short, the composition of the list of lines is too rigid, the font is black and small, as well as the imperative tone.

Insatiable
Forms that contain unnecessary fields are called greedy forms. Eliminate and compress non-essential and unnecessary fields.

Designing a form is not really an art creation, but more of a problem solving. How to create a useful form interaction page, this page is also very friendly, clear and good for visitors to fill out, is very important.
Remove the unnecessary fields. Make sure that the entire form is useful for each field
1 focus on the form area
The quicker the visitor can focus on the form, the quicker they know what to do and where to start.
Here are some ways to make your form stand out:
1, the form behind the setting of a light background (but pay attention to ensure the readability of the text)
2. Add a border around the form
3, the form area uses the color
4. Use arrows
Use borders outside the form and emphasize the color of the active form
Use a model gesture to give the user an indication of the role of the form
2 Use a clean, concise layout
Reduce the complexity and difficulty of forms, making the form layout clean and concise.
How do you make your form look clean and concise?
Space. In any color, leave enough space around the form and between the rows of the form to enhance readability.
Remove the useless elements. Everything around the form should help with the completion and submission of the form.
Proper retention of white, line spacing control
1, eliminate the blanks in fields and labels. Excessive whitespace in fields and labels can cause users to move their eyes horizontally. Putting labels and fields together can increase the correlation between the two.
2. Readability of text. Make sure that the visitor can see the text on the page without a magnifying glass. 12px or more. Form labels and fields should be of high contrast and simple text.
3, as far as possible left aligned and field area. Visitors generally find the starting end of a line of text from the left, and the right-aligned format makes it difficult to locate the beginning of a row, which significantly increases the complexity of the form. The left-aligned form-field area makes it easier to view the entire layout visually, and thus facilitates quick browsing.
In a right-aligned form, each line of text is not on the same starting point, and you have to read the labels to rotate many times.
When left-aligned, all text starts at a fixed starting point and scans directly to see all of the items you want to fill out.
3 Clear instructions to complete the steps and progress
If your form filling process is longer and there are no corresponding instructions, visitors are bored and give up.
4 provide security and confidentiality measures
Many visitors will not consciously find the "lock" icon on the page, see "Lock" will not determine the credibility of the link. So don't forget to add a lock to the form page while you're filling out your personal information.
