Majority of customers are over the age of 50. I take this and User Experience into consideration when designing new projects. I spend extra time and care on forms in trying to create the simplest way for the user, to collect information needed. Since starting for the company, I've added scripts that auto populate City/State when user enters Zip Code and auto Credit Card Type select based on Credit Card Number. I also re-display entered information upon user errors.
