Typeform – The Easy and Customizable Online Form Builder

Forms are an essential part of the online experience, from registration forms to user surveys and more. Today, let’s explore Typeform, a user-friendly form builder that offers a fresh and engaging approach to online forms.

Designing Your Forms

Typeform simplifies form creation by organizing everything on a single page, divided into three sections: the Welcome page, the Form itself, and the Thank You page.

As users fill out the form, each section transitions smoothly to the next. Creating a form with Typeform is straightforward – simply name your form, build it, and publish it.

Start by dragging and dropping a new Welcome screen, which will serve as the first page your users see – an excellent opportunity for branding.

The other editing screens and tools work similarly to the Welcome screen editor, making it easy to maintain consistency throughout your form. After building your form content, you can proceed to the design phase.

Typeform offers three simple design options: color, font, and background image.

You can further customize your form by adjusting the colors of different content types, such as questions, titles, and backgrounds. Typeform also provides pre-designed color palettes for easy selection.

In addition to colors, you can customize fonts and backgrounds. Choose from pre-made background images or upload your own using the background uploader.

If you prefer not to design from scratch, you can use Typeform’s Themekit, which offers design templates that can be saved and reused for future forms.

Publishing Your Forms

Once your form is ready, Typeform offers three publishing options:

The first option is to use the link provided by Typeform, which hosts your form for you.

Second, you can create an HTML button that opens your form in a popup window on your website.

Third, you can embed the entire form directly into a webpage of your choice, with options for a mobile version, an iframe for desktops, or plain HTML code.
