The Main Steps of Adding a Form to Your Site

It sounds complicated, but adding a form to your website is more beneficial than it is time-consuming.

Research how similar website form companies in your industry utilize forms - which can be surveys or used to collect visitor information - and decide why and how they chose the design and purpose of the form.

Next, follow these steps on how to best add an efficient form to your website.

Determine the Purpose of the Form

Before you start designing your form, it’s important to determine its purpose. Are you looking to gather feedback from customers, collect contact information, or qualify leads? Once you know the purpose of the form, you can start to tailor it to your specific needs.

Choose a Form Builder Tool

There are many form builder tools available online, both free and paid, that allow you to create custom forms without any coding skills. Some popular options include Google Forms, JotForm, Wufoo, and Typeform. Or you can choose a software that has a form tool already available for free, such as TruVISIBILITY. Choose a tool that fits your needs and budget and sign up for an account.

Design Your Form

Once you have selected a form builder tool, you can start designing your form. Most form builders allow you to customize the look and feel of your form, as well as add fields for users to fill in. Make sure to keep the design of your form consistent with your brand’s colors and style.

Below is an example of a simple design. The form is also strategically placed next to this Med Spa's location.

Decide Where to Place the Form on Your Website

The placement of your form on your website is crucial to its effectiveness. Consider placing it on pages where users are most likely to convert, such as your homepage, landing pages, or product pages. You can also place a form in a pop-up or slide-in to grab users’ attention.

Add the Form to Your Website

Once you have designed your form and decided where to place it, you can add it to your website. Most form builders provide a code snippet that you can copy and paste into the HTML of your website. If you are using a content management system (CMS) like WordPress or Squarespace, you can usually add the form by using a plugin or widget.

Test Your Form

Before you launch your form, it’s important to test it to make sure it is functioning properly. Submit a test entry and make sure that you receive the confirmation message and that the data is being saved in your form builder tool.

Integrate it with Your Email Marketing Software

If you are using the form to generate leads, it’s important to integrate it with your email marketing software. Most form builders allow you to connect your form to your email marketing tool, such as Mailchimp, TruVISIBILITY or Constant Contact, so that new leads are automatically added to your mailing list.

Analyze Your Form’s Performance

After your form has been live for a few weeks, it’s important to analyze its performance to see if it’s achieving its intended purpose. Use the analytics provided by your form builder tool to track the number of submissions, conversion rates, and other important metrics. Make changes to the form as necessary to improve its performance.
