How to make an Online Form

Online forms are a great way to capture information in an organized method.  Some forms require database and web programming skills while others are easy enough for the average computer user to make.  Here are two tools that are very easy to use and can help build simple forms for registration, contact forms, surveys, and information gathering.  They don’t require any programming or website ability.

  • Google Docs – With Google Docs, you can create a form that feeds information into a Google Spreadsheet and emails you when a new entry has been made.
  • Jotforms – This is an easy way to create powerful form that can email you, create CSV/Excel files and more.  It is the best mix of features and ease of use I have found.  It includes the ability to upload files, screen entries for span, include hidden fields, create custom actions, custom emails, and success pages.
