Best Collection of Online Form Designs by JotForm [581]

Building forms takes a lot of work. First, you need to set up the form fields with HTML. Then you must design it with CSS. Finally you have to configure your server and web application to accept the submissions and process them.

This typically entails using a language like PHP or Python, and if stored in a database, then SQL. To build a form, you must work with all aspects of web development

ment.

Online form building tools have been around awhile, and are excellent at managing this process. You can build forms using drag and drop interfaces, and set up submissions to be sent by email, or to third party resources such SalesForce or Google Spreadsheets. No technical expertise is required.

The design of forms has always been a sore point, however. Online form builders have typically provided minimal design capabilities. A few basic options can be customized, but if you want anything more you must write custom CSS.?JotForm, long time established online form builder, was no different. Its world class form builder was accompanied with limited design options.

Up until now.

JotForm Online Form Designer

er

In mid October it launched an unprecedented design tool- the?Form Designerer. This point and click masterpiece makes CSS appear right before your eyes. Colors, fonts, layouts, and all elements of the form can be quickly built. No CSS expertise is required.

For those who are familiar with CSS, it can be taken further. The CSS Helper does almost all the work for you. Selecting an element of the form both sets up the CSS selector, and displays a list of properties that can be adjusted. The only thing that?s left is to enter a valid value. Only a seasoned expert can truly appreciate how much time this saves you. And for the true die-hards, they can update the CSS manually on their own.
