Dealing With a Long Form

    We're using Gravity Forms to build an order form for a particular client. This order form has a large number of fields and has created a very long, cumbersome form.

    The customer's old form had places where it used 2 columns to shorten the overall length (i.e. Buyer & Co-Buyer contact info fields were next to each other instead of a vertical listing).

    Is there a way to use a dual-column approach or some other styling to make it less cumbersome?

    We've considered using the conditional logic to keep adding sections as the customer progresses through the form, but it doesn't help with the length of the form.

    Any ideas?

    You could create 2 column form, however you would accomplish this using CSS on the front end. The form in the editor would still be one long form.

    We plan on implementing multi-page form capabilities in a future release which will make dealing with longer forms much easier.

    You can float some of the smaller fields up next to each other horizontally. You'd have to specify the unique field id's in your form but you could save a little space with some CSS tweaking.

    You can refer to this post which addresses a similar request..
