Forms
Usage of Forms
Forms are used when it makes sense to gather multiple pieces of information from users at once. For example we use forms to collect job details and payment information.
Types of Forms
Primary Forms (Desktop Only)
Primary forms are used when the primary purpose of the page is to collect information and move the user through an input flow.
Secondary Forms (Desktop Only)
Secondary forms are used when the page is being used for multiple purposes. For example, on our When pages, we are both building trust with service-related content and collecting job details. They are always sticky to the right side of the page and take up 4 columns.
Mobile Web Forms
On mobile web, all forms follow the same format and all input fields become full-width. All card and background UI is hidden once we break to mobile web format.
Form Layout
Grid
We use two form layouts on desktop: A primary, left-aligned form, and a secondary, right aligned form. Both are displayed on white cards with our standard drop shadow and 5-radius rounded corners. On mobile web, all forms follow the same format, with input fields spanning the full width of the screen and no cards or background.
Headers and Copy
We use H2 headers or H3 headers to label forms or sections of forms. Headers should be short and clearly define the group of input fields the cover. If needed, use subcopy in dark slate under the header. You can also use subcopy between input fields without adding another header, if the input fields live under the same header.
Input Fields
We use the same input field UI across all forms (same across desktop, mobile web, and native). The only variable is the width of the input field.
Inactive: Label or Placeholder Text
Container
Active: Label
Active: Input Text
Error States
We use the same error state UI across all forms. We have two error states: One for when the user has not yet entered anything into a required input field, and one for when they have entered invalid information.
Container: Color and border change
Text: Color change
Buttons
Buttons always span the full width of the form content. We always use large buttons for forms. If a CTA in is required in the middle of a form, we use a special UI where the input field accommodates the CTA.
