Viral Now - JotForm 4.0: The Must-Have Free Tool for Small Businesses

Nowadays, a business that does not have an online presence is doomed. The Internet has made it a lot easier for business owners to communicate with their customers and their prospects and to showcase their products or services.

However, many web design softwares and services are expensive for small business. They’re also notoriously difficult and frustrating to use!

One of the most common website issues that business owners are faced with is implementing forms on their websites. Businesses need forms of all kinds: contact forms, newsletter forms, order forms, and more.

With little time to waste, small business owners need an easy and fast solution to making online forms.

Luckily, there are free services such as online form building tool, JotForm, which nullifies this dilemma and makes it easier for businesses to implement free forms on their websites through the newest tool called JotForm 4.0

But let’s start at the beginning.

What exactly is JotForm 4.0?

JotForm is an online form builder and design tool that facilitates the process of integrating forms with one’s website, or as a standalone form. JotForm has been around since 2006, but recently it has been updated to offer more free features and ease of use.

The latest version is even easier to use, more intuitive, and has new features, such as the ability to create forms on mobile devices.

Why do I need forms on my website?

Think of forms as managerial perks:

• They improve your communication with your clients.
• They collect vital data for your databases.
• They make it easier for people to contact you.
• They can help you get rid of an immense amount of customer emails and phone calls.
• They improve the accuracy of the data you receive.

What do automated form builders offer?

Apart from their unaltered simplicity, a form builder allows you to choose from a large range of templates, themes, and plugins. You can customize each of them according to your personal aesthetic taste. Plus, you can create any type of form that your website may need, from application, order and evaluation forms to registration, contact, feedback, abstract, event registration, request forms, and signup forms.

1. Ease of use

With JotForm 4.0, you can create forms and have them up and running in just minutes. “Easy-to-use” is the unchanging, guiding principle of this platform. You don’t need to write a single line of code: the entire process is drag-and-drop! (Even professional web designers find it hard to integrate forms into the design of a website.)

Sometimes, it can crack the entire framework of a website, so your site is rendered dysfunctional, which automatically means loss of money. Paying for expensive web design services for tasks like making online forms is unnecessary– you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes.

2. Beautiful designs

Not only can you make your own forms with an online form builder, but you can also choose from a wide array of stunning designs. Or, upload your own images! Pro tip: Make sure that all customer-facing forms represent your company branding well.

This includes having forms that feature your company colors, fonts, images, and logo.

3. Powerful apps and integrations

JotForm offers over 100 integrations with business tools including Salesforce, Dropbox, PayPal, Excel, and more. For example, as your form submissions roll in, you can have their results automatically upload into an Excel or Google spreadsheet. Collect file uploads, add images, videos, calculators, and more!
As you can see, an online form builder like JotForm 4.0 or even other paid forms builders can help you easily create forms and collect data on any device: desktop, tablet, or mobile phone.

Do your research. Hopefully, this article serves as a starting point in finding the perfect forms tool for you. While JotFrom 4.0 is a great tool, make sure to look into other form tools before making a final decision.
