Caroline Jarrett经营着一家可用性咨询公司Effortmark Ltd。自1992年开始开发税务表单，从此迷恋上了易用表单设计。她每月在www.usabilitynews.com撰写专栏“Caroline’s Corner”，阐述关于可用性的理念。

Gerry Gaffney经营着一家可用性咨询公司Information & Design Proprietary Ltd。主编过几期《用户体验》杂志，还创建了广受欢迎的“用户体验播客”（uxpod.com）。他认为表单设计是个难题，但还是试图从客观的角度来分析表单。

Forms are everywhere on the web - for registration and communicating, for commerce and government. Good forms make for happier customers, better data, and reduced support costs. Bad forms fill your organization's databases with inaccuracies and duplicates and can cause loss of potential consumers.

Designing good forms is trickier than people think. Jarrett and Gaffney come to the rescue with Designing Forms that Work, clearly explaining exactly how to design great forms for the web. Liberally illustrated with full-color examples, it guides readers on how to define requirements, how to write questions that users will understand and want to answer, and how to deal with instructions, progress indicators and errors.

*Provides proven and practical advice that will help you avoid pitfalls, and produce forms that are aesthetically pleasing, efficient and cost-effective.

*Features invaluable design methods, tips, and tricks to help ensure accurate data and satisfied customers.

*Includes dozens of examples -- from nitty-gritty details (label alignment, mandatory fields) to visual designs (creating good grids, use of color).

*Foreword by Steve Krug, author of the best selling Don't Make Me Think!
