Generally speaking, progress bars do not only help make a better user experience when it comes to filling in long forms, but they also play the role of reassuring, encouraging and informing. Because the users can view that they are actually progressing through a form, they can estimate the time it takes to complete it and hence, there is a lesser chance of abandonment.

TadvProgressBar is a set of components that can help developers enhance the user experience, particularly for websites. In addition to being completely customizable, they can be configured to be level dependent and can be stacked in a multicolor display. Other noteworthy features include infinite running progress style, smooth and blocked display with gradients as well as numerous ways to display the progress as a number.

While some may view them as plain decorative elements, the truth is that they can be used to personalize your brand as they can help you communicate with customers better and even encourage them to continue. Moreover, they can provide valuable insight regarding why visitors abandon or give up with a long form. Last, but least important, is that progress bars offer users something to look at while they are waiting and thus, determines them to pay less attention to the actual wait.
