How to create a Typeform‑style, one‑question‑at‑a‑time form? (Focused Mode)

Focused Mode shows one question at a time, guiding people through your form step‑by‑step with minimal distractions—similar to the Typeform experience. It helps increase completion rates by keeping attention on the current question and making progress feel easy.

Why use Focused Mode

• Higher completion: Less overwhelm vs. long, busy pages.
• Mobile-friendly: Big, clear inputs and simple navigation.
• Better UX: Natural flow, progress feedback, and momentum.

What your respondents see

• One question per screen (or a small, intentional group).
• A clear progress indicator (steps or percent).
• Smooth transitions between questions.
• Simple next/back controls; keyboard support (Enter/Tab/Arrow keys).

How to turn it on

1. Open your form.
2. Go to Settings → Design.
3. Choose Design → Focused Mode.
4. Save changes and preview.

Tip: You can switch between Classic and Focused anytime; your questions, logic, and integrations remain intact.

FAQs

• Can I switch after collecting responses? Yes, switching styles won’t delete responses.
• Does logic still work? Yes, branching, skips, and calculations behave the same.
• Can I embed Focused Mode? Yes, use the usual embed options; it will auto‑size.
• What about file uploads and captchas? They work in Focused Mode with dedicated steps.
• Is analytics affected? Submission analytics are unchanged; step‑level drop‑off may be easier to interpret with clear progress.

If you’ve used Typeform, Focused Mode will feel familiar—one clear question at a time, smooth motion, and a reassuring sense of progress.
