1. Know why you’re asking every question
2. Design for the most common scenarios first
3. Start with one thing per page
![Page 62: A COMMUNITY, NOT A LIBRARY: DESIGN PATTERNS FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/58809c911a28abd8158b5c33/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
#gdsteam@cjforms
Before you start, make a list of all the questions you want to ask.
![Page 63: A COMMUNITY, NOT A LIBRARY: DESIGN PATTERNS FOR GOVERNMENT SERVICES](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022070601/58809c911a28abd8158b5c33/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
#gdsteam@cjforms
Structure the form so most users have a simple, quick path. Use branching questions to hide questions from people who don’t need to answer them.
You’ll need to make difficult decisions about which users to prioritise, so make sure you have good data from the business about them.

Don’t use dropdowns / select boxes.
They’re not intuitiveThey hide choicesThey’re hard to use
Avoid if at all possibleUse radios or free text fields instead
