CSS Forms

Forms are fundamental tools for collecting user data, and CSS allows us to customize their appearance. A well-designed form is not only aesthetic but also improves user experience.

Basic styles for form elements

The <input>, <textarea>, and <select> elements appear plain by default. With CSS, we can style padding, borders, background color, and other visual elements.

The following simple example shows what a basic form looks like with a text field and a button.

Layout for more complex forms

With modern CSS, we can flexibly arrange form elements. Using flexbox or grid, we can easily create clear and structured forms.

This example shows a form with multiple fields, where style and layout together ensure usability.

Tips for forms

Form usability is crucial. Alongside aesthetics, accessibility should always be considered.

• Use enough contrast between fields and text.
• Add hover and focus states for buttons and inputs.
• Test forms across different browsers and devices.
