The Form Assembly

by cedric on March 31st, 2005

I’ve been working on it for the last 2 months and I’m quite excited about it.
The Form Assembly Project consists of a Web Form Builder, a collection of CSS stylesheets suitable for web forms. It is also the place where I publish a periodic column on Web Application Development.

    This is an absolutely outstanding, timesaving resource. Not only that, but it puts standards-compliant HTML and behavior in the hands of less technical users.
    Commendable work, thank you.

    Thanks for something so valuable – your time and work! Can’t let you know, how much I was impressed. You saved me a lot of life-time. Thanks!

    Hi,
    I like the Form Builder allot :).
    Do you plan to release it/make it downloadable?
    I could imagine a lot of projects using it, since such a ‘dynamic web based form builder’ is way better than all ‘installed form builders’ I ever seen.
    Besides, if it would be available as open source, I think all CMSes would integrate it since none of the WYSIWYGs does the right job regarding forms.
    Not to mention those ugly ‘poll builders’ :).
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael.

    Thanks for your comments.
    Michael, sorry, the Form Builder will not be released as Open-Source (at least for a while), but you have a valid point regarding CMSes. I’ll keep it in mind.

    Well, that’s your choice of course :), but someone else will reinvent the wheel (cause there’s a real need for a quality Form Builder :).
    Just take a look how many CMSes are there:

    … more than 400 listed only there.
    I found an interesting article about using wForms with Ajax – very nice :

    Thanks,
    Michael.
    P.S. Do you plan to include more validations in wForms?

    can form submission details be saved to a database using your tool. Also hat is the cost to implement this on my website.

    If you choose to use the Form Assembly Response Processing service, prices range from $5 to $25. Form submissions are stored in our database and you can export them at any time (excel/.csv format).
    Go to formassembly.com for more details.

The new Form Assembly is awesome, and your form processing service is just right with the perfect pricing structure, especially for a non-profit like ours. For designing great looking and cool web forms without hand coding, there’s no place better than formassembly.com!
