Online Form Resources
Categories:
Recently I've been tasked with coming up with better options for more
functional online forms - on a budget. Improved forms should be:
- Easy to setup
- Easy to change
- Easy to maintain
- Be able to generate: Excel, CSV (comma separated values) data files
of selected information
So, with that criteria in mind, I set out, first, via code - commonly:
ASP or php (there may be others via which this can be done - these are
the two I find most often used for this purpose):
Along those lines I found sites like these which generate code based on
user input:
http://www.freeformmaker.com/ (php)
and
http://www.tele-pro.co.uk/scripts/contact_form/ (ASP or php)
just follow the prompts and poof - easy form
that works for sites designed to accomodate do it yourself forms. Not
all hosts are created equal. In that case, my case, I then took to looking
at online form hosts. The form sits on your site (or theirs) but is processed
through their system (free or for reasonable rates). Two sites I found
worth looking at are:
and
I put together a form from jotform in about two hours. Not because it
was difficult but because it was somewhat complex. Have a look:
