Forms and Data collection

“Input elements should be organized in logical groups so that your brain can process the form layout in chunks of related fields.” – HTML: the Definitive Guide

Quite rare is the Web application that doesn’t make extensive use of forms for data input and configuration. But not all Web applications use forms consistently. Variations in the alignment of input fields, their respective labels, calls to action, and their surrounding visual elements can support or impair different aspects of user behavior.

If you are interested in designing forms then we'd strongly suggest you have a look at this book:

Web Application Form Design by Luke Wroblewski
