"As a matter of best practice, should forms on the web be designed

My take is simple:
The question is irrelevant.
In fact, you could as a similar question that would be equally
irrelevant: "Should forms on the web be design to look like other
forms on the web?"
The real question is "Should each form on the web be design to best
support the user's experience?" The answer would, of course, be Yes.
And the next question is the one that's important in your case: "How
should you best support the user's experience?"
That's where I'd start.
Hope that helps,
Jared
