Six ways to improve form design
Good visual design makes the questions easier to read and answer.

Steps
- Use a short, clear introduction and one main idea per question.
Create or edit a theme, save it, and verify its application in desktop and mobile preview. - Choose a readable font and sufficient text contrast.
Choose a font that remains readable in the languages and screen sizes your form uses. - Keep answer choices concise and aligned consistently.
Check that a narrow respondent view presents every choice and the intended multiple-answer controls. - Use images only when they add useful context.
- Check mobile layout, long text, and validation messages.
- Preview the entire flow and remove unnecessary questions or decoration.
Check before you rely on it
Judge the form by whether a respondent can understand and finish it, not only by the first screen.
If you need help
A striking background can still make a form difficult to read. Check every question over the chosen background.
Contact support with the relevant screen, time, and a redacted description. Keep credentials and private respondent information out of screenshots.
