Quick Tip: Always Use Semantic Input Types

Hey Demo,

Most lead capture forms rely on plain text fields for everything—email, number, date, phone. It works, but it forces people to type more and forces your backend to catch the mistakes.

Semantic input types solves this problem upfront.

• type="email" checks format
• type="number" blocks stray characters
• type="date" keeps date input consistent

On mobile, each one triggers the right keyboard automatically. It's an easy win: replace generic text inputs with specific fields that match the data you expect.

Faster form completions and fewer misfills means higher quality lead data.
