Yup - I have no zip code, I'm not going to give you my email, and suddenly I don't care. Note - I actually went to see if I could help, but it's really badly designed.

I recommend you learn about progressive engagement.

You would be much more likely to get responses if you made a reasonable landing page where the project is outlined and pointed us at that. Also better to ask for area, city, zipcode or whatever at the end, when people are already invested.

Thanks for the feedback, I sincerely appreciate critical feedback here. I took your advice into consideration & did move the personal details to the back, so as to capture that information only from those that are invested.

I understand the value of the landing page with details on the proposition, but to be honest, I am using this survey to better understand/ validate the problem, and to confirm that I am not the only one with the issue. Once I validate that the problem is real, I can objectively propose a solution - obviously I have ideas now, but I thought it premature to project those ideas.
