Forms are an integral feature of any website or blog but not everybody has the HTML knowledge to create forms easily. If you are one of those people, don’t worry! Because now you can create forms without writing a single line of code<\/strong>. These WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) form builders let you create all sorts of forms by simply dragging and dropping desired fields and pasting the code on your website:<\/p>\n

1. VisitorContact<\/h2>\n

VisitorContact is probably the easiest web application to create simple contact forms for your website. Just select which fields you want to display and enter the receiving email address. After you have selected your fields, you can get an embed code to display the form on your website or get a small button to pop up the form.<\/p>\n

You can set auto-respond emails<\/strong> for your form and even customize the appearance of the button to match your design. A handy WordPress plugin<\/strong> is also available to even simplify the process.<\/p>\n

2. FormSite<\/h2>\n

FormSite lets you create forms and surveys from templates. Just select a template and customize<\/strong> it to your need by dragging and dropping the fields. You can also start from scratch to build a form and insert customized fields. The option to integrate payments<\/strong> in your forms makes it even more useful.<\/p>\n
