Got forms? If you don’t, you’re missing out on a prime opportunity to tap into user and customer feedback. The good news is that creating contact form in WordPress, or any other type of WordPress forms, is drag and drop simple, thanks to this handful of plugins that aim to simplify the creation of forms so that you can collect feedback quickly and easily!
Contact Form 7
One of the oldest and definitely one of the most well-known WordPress forms plugins, Contact Form 7 has been around almost as long as WordPress itself. And there’s good reason: you can do nearly everything with it.
From creating multiple contact forms on one site to making a simple contact us form, the full functionality of Contact Form 7 is simple and easy enough for most needs. However, there are many additional plugins that you can install for it that allow it to go far beyond its original use. From creating user registrations to adding multiple steps, it’s an easy-to-use, expandable plugin that’s found a home with a lot of WordPress blogs.
Contact Form 7 is free, but if you like it and enjoy using it, please consider making a donation to support its continued development.
Contact Form by WPForms
A simple, straightforward, no-hassle form builder for WordPress is what you get with WPForms. With over two million active installations, it’s one of the most popular WordPress forms plugins available, and once you install it, you’ll see why.
Even if you’re not a programmer and you’re still learning your way around WordPress, WPForms is the easy, intuitive way to build forms for your WordPress website. Just click, drag and drop your way to a contact form, survey form, and much more.
There’s a free and premium version of this plugin available. The premium version gives you access to more advanced features like multi-step forms and integrations with other services like email marketing (MailChimp, Aweber, GetResponse, etc.) and pricing starts at $39.50/year.
Ninja Forms
Free contact form creation meets drag and drop simplicity with Ninja Forms. A full-featured drag and drop form builder lets you create forms in minutes, not hours. What truly sets Ninja Forms apart from other WordPress forms plugins is that it’s adapted for use by beginners as well as developers. Web developers will appreciate the ease of use from built-in hooks, filters and custom field templates.
Ninja forms has no limits on how many forms, fields, emails or other parts that can be included on your form. Forms load quickly and allow you to integrate them with many different anti-spam options, helping to protect your forms from automated submissions.
Ninja Forms itself is free, but there’s also the possibility to purchase a membership. Depending on the package you purchase, you may be able to add additional functionality to your forms, such as conditional logic, file uploads, and integration with several popular email marketing platforms.
Optin Forms
A little bit different than your typical form builder plugin for WordPress, Optin Forms specializes in just that: optin forms for WordPress. If you want to create gorgeous opt-in form designs for:
- AWeber
- iContact
- MailChimp
- GetResponse
- MadMimi
- Interspire Email Marketer
- ConvertKit or
- MailerLite
Optin Forms is the plugin for you. There are five default styles to choose from, but each one is fully customizable, letting you easily change text, fonts, font sizes, colors and more.
Formidable Forms
As its name implies, Formidable Forms are quite strong and easy to use. In addition to being easy to use, with drag and drop simplicity, visual stylers and lots of pre-built form templates to choose from, Formidable Forms let you easily create a wide variety of even complex forms like team registrations for payment calculators. If you want a form builder for WordPress that goes above and beyond your typical form builder plugin, Formidable Forms is the plugin for you.
In addition to making it easy to create all kinds of forms, the number of integrations that Formidable Forms accepts is truly mind-blowing. From payment platforms like Paypal and Woocommerce to CRMs like Salesforce and Hubspot, to email marketing and much more, this is a great WordPress form plugin for those who need to go beyond the basics.
Unlike many of the other form plugins on this list, Formidable Forms isn’t free, and pricing starts at $99/year, but if you run several websites or need a more advanced form builder, it’s definitely worth a look!
BONUS WordPress Form Plugin: Gravity Forms
Gravity Forms is perhaps one of the most popular form builders for WordPress. Although it doesn’t come with many pre-built templates, it does feature dozens of integrations, particularly with email marketing services, so if you use an email marketing service that’s not typically included in the list of integrations, like Emma, Mad Mimi, Postmark or SendGrid, you’re in luck: Gravity Forms works with them quickly and easily.
With Gravity Forms, you can also create many different types of forms, like calculators, multi-step forms and even forms that users can save and continue with later – a particularly good feature if you have an elaborate form that takes awhile to complete!
Gravity Forms isn’t free and doesn’t have a free version, but pricing for the Basic version starts at $59/year making it a cheaper alternative to Formidable Forms.
