Ask HN: What are some good examples for large forms broken down elegantly

1 points by klausjensen ↗ HN
I am currently working on a startup in a legal/compliance niche, and need to take users through a process to file a report, which requires inputting ~40 fields of information.

What are some good examples/techniques applied to simplifying large/complex processes to make them user friendly and less daunting for the users?

Other than breaking up the form into logical components and transitioning between them in a non-jarring way I'm not sure what you can really do.

Several survey sites do this pretty well these days.

Might I suggest also asking this on the UX StackExchange?

That's a pretty good idea. Thanks.
