Group by mental task

Put related questions together—for example, contact details, project details and review—rather than splitting fields arbitrarily.

Show progress

Use clear step labels or progress indicators so users understand the length of the process.

Use logic before adding steps

Conditional logic can sometimes remove irrelevant questions entirely, which is better than spreading them across more pages.

Test abandonment points

Review each step on mobile and remove questions that do not affect the outcome.
