Design principles that work in the wild
- Keep triage to 10–15 questions; collect documents later.
- Use branching so clients only see relevant paths.
- Write in plain English with one idea per screen.
- Add save‑and‑resume links by SMS/email; honour partially completed work.
- Explain why you ask sensitive questions and show brief data‑use notes.
Family law: a humane first pass
- Matter picker (divorce/children/finance) and urgency screen.
- Safeguarding with private mode and signposting to support.
- Desired outcomes and timelines in the client's words.
- Schedule first; request bank statements later via secure upload.
Immigration: dates and eligibility front‑loaded
- Current status, visa type and key dates.
- Eligibility gates with simple green/amber/red outcomes.
- Language preference and document checklist sent after booking.
Personal Injury: clarity before detail
- Accident type/date/location and injuries treated.
- Employer/insurer details optional at first pass.
- Photo/video evidence requested after scheduling.
Friction busters you can add today
- Auto‑format dates/phones; generous input validation.
- Offer chat/phone as an escape hatch mid‑form.
- High‑contrast, larger font option; tested on small screens.
