Announcing New Form Building Features! 12/24/2009
Just in time for Christmas, we have a holiday gift for you! We've just released new form building features that let you completely customize and build new forms, including contact forms, RSVP forms, surveys, or anything else you can dream up! ![]() You'll see a new category under "More" called "Forms". Here, we've added a Contact Form, RSVP Form and Survey Form. Once you've added one of these forms to your page, click it to start customizing it. Once you click on the form, you'll notice that the rest of the page fades away, letting you focus on the form you're working on. The elements bar now contains the form fields that you can add to your form, including short and large text areas, option buttons, a dropdown box, checkboxes, a name field, an email field, an address field and a phone number field. You can add these fields to your form by dragging them on to the page. There are several advanced options you can set, such as modifying the confirmation message a user sees after submitting a form, setting a special confirmation page, modifying the field instructions (a little box shown with instructions when the field is selected) and setting a field as required or not. You can also download the form entries as a .csv file, or view them right from within Weebly. When you're done, publish your site! Your visitors will be able to fill out the form created, and their entries will be emailed to you and stored in Weebly to view and download later! We're still a small team, but we're working hard day and night to improve Weebly for you and help make creating a website fun, fast, easy, and free. We've got a lot planned for 2010, and are excited to finish and release some of the major features we are currently working on! Happy Holidays, and thanks again for your feedback and support!

Thank you Weebly for providing this amazing feature. Of cause it cannot be as detailed as Wufoo, JotForm, FormSpring and Icebrrg, but it's surely a step in the right direction. If I'm permitted to give a little constructive feedback here, I would like to mention, that from my (Scandinavian) point of view, the pre formatted field types for Name, Address, Phone number and such seems a little "Americanized" in their layout and the little labels are in English only, I think. But hey, one can always use the small-text field for custom fields, so it's cool. If you plan to extend the feature based on feedback, I could wish for a date picker (remember different date formats) and an upload field for attachments (of cause this will complicate things regarding virus and file upload storage).

I would like the option to hide the last name in the field and make it so you don't have to enter your last name, and to be able to make the confirmation message bold, or a different color. I would also like to be able to delete the messages from the entry queue from the Weebly editor.

I love the ability to customize a form but I have noticed when getting replys that I dont see all the form fields even though I put data in them...for instance I have 10 form fields on my website but I only get 5-6 of them filled in with data when it gets emailed to me even though I filled in all 10.....anyone else had an issue like this?...

Once again,I am impressed with your work, Weebly.it never failsto impress me.I was updating my site, and found the survey. It gives me a great idea of what kind of people are visiting my site. One of the reasons I love weebly is that it is just so easy to do! No matter how long or short of a website I want,It is always ready to work for me. This isthe first time I have actually ventured to thisparrt of Weebly-----Beforethe only part I knew and visited was the actual "create a website part". That ios another thing I like. YOur website is not just a thing to create websites, it has otoher parts that people can explore. The only thing is that it is slow at loading sometimes, but with all the other good things that is notmuch to complain about. One more thing- if you could ohwait I forget.See, I can't eventhinkof more that onething that is bad. You rock,Weebly!!!!!!!!

Hi Weebly team, the new contact form is great. Is there any chance you may consider adding an option for visitors to attach a document when they complete the contact form? This can be useful for some businesses. I see this is available in WordPress and just thought it could be a neat addition. Keep up the great work.

I think the new contact form looks great, however am having issues with it. After editing and setting up all fields. when published I am unable to enter any text into the name, email, small text fields and can only use a drop down box and enter text into the large comment field. Thereby leaving the form unable to send as all fields are required. Please help.

Many thanks for all your hard work. It has helped me set up and publish a site within (literally) a few days, start to finish. Still very much 'work in progress' but the set of features you provide and ease of use is briliant. I will soon be upgrading to pro to enjoy even more.
