I'm working on an application where we are filtering data for user which will help us to show best products as per his/her likes. And to do this, we are asking lots of questions (radio button, user need not to write anything) which will decide what exactly he/she wants.

My fear is filling forms could be cumbersome for user and in real case it might take lots of time (network leg/server response etc) and we don't want user to get bore or leave the page.

Any idea/suggestion or link?

This question is still pretty broad; is your problem with slowly loading forms or with allowing users to complete them accurately or efficiently? Do you have a mockup/screenshot of a current/planned form? – Ben Brocka♦ Apr 16 '12 at 12:13

you cant eliminate this fear completely, rather you can focus on good questionaire design to make it not longer than neccessary and you can "just" split up the questionnaire into content blocks. Each block could represent a page or two. If you add a progressbar the user will be happier, since the user knows how many question are approx. still waiting – Matt Apr 16 '12 at 15:28
