What's the best way to add a description to the fields?
e.g. I have a field called Location and I want to put description below it about how to enter data for it. I know I can customize these forms in SharePoint Designer and achieve this, but is there any other good way to do this?
You can simply fill in the Description field on the column's definition in List Settings. The Description is automatically displayed if it exists.

+1 for Marc.
But in case description is not enough, you could customize a list form with SharePoint Designer.
I have found the following feature to be really useful. It adds a new link to the list settings page called 'form settings'. This allows you to customise whether descriptions show on the form and where.
It can be very useful.
