Thanks to Adaptive Path for making the resource available and to Brett for putting it on my radar.
I recently worked on a send to mobile feature for Yellow which tonight went live.
It was a nice project to be on and although it’s not exactly how I would have liked it (what is?), it’s one of the few pieces of work at Sensis that I am proud to say I worked on.

Being online more hours than I sleep, I find I fill out a lot of online forms, so when I come across a good one it tends to stand out. Also having a friend who specialises in forms design makes me more aware of the value of a well designed form as well as the difficulties involved in getting the design right.

The best part for me though was that the information they gave me was timely, relevant and chunked up beautifully for me.
Other points to note were that the form:
