JotForm

online form builder, Jotform, came up very high in my search results. This is a great alternative to Wufoo because I was able to set up a normal form (without a report abuse link) and enter in a URL for a Thank You page. However, here are the problems I had with Jotform:
  1. Although Jotform’s interface loads really fast and you never even have to click save, there is not enough distinction between the tabs in the editing area. I was never quite sure which tab I was in and kept clicking around a lot.
  2. I had to do some fancy CSS footwork to get the form to look right. There was a big margin to the left of the form which was really problematic since it made half the form was hidden from view. Also, I wanted to create a dropdown select box that only listed countries so I had to use the Address field and hide all the other fields (street address, city, state, zip code) except for country. In order to fix all the CSS, I had to go into Jotform’s editor under Preferences > Form Styles.
  3. There was a javascript conflict on my site so I had to switch from the javascript embed to the iframe embed code and then it ran smoothly.
In conclusion, Wufoo and Jotform are both great services, but if you’re looking for a more complete free solution, Jotform is the way to go.
