Forms make or break the most crucial online interactions: checkout (commerce), registration (community), data input (participation and sharing), and any task requiring information entry.

Any meaningful experience on the web has a form. Whether it’s a form made of text boxes, toggles, buttons, checkboxes, or touchable widgets, web developers need to be purposeful about forms to make users happy and increase conversions.

HTML5 introduced new features for web forms. Identifying input purpose via autocomplete attributes makes easier and faster form filling experiences for everyone entering personal or payment information. New input type, inputmode, and pattern attributes help users enter data accurately and efficiently.

When semantic HTML elements are not enough, a little ARIA can make them accessible, for example to screen reader users.
