The ability to create customisable and visually appealing web forms can distinguish your business from the rest. NestForms has just introduced an exciting new feature that allows administrators and form builders to tailor the appearance of their public forms. This feature enables you to enhance the user experience by designing how your forms look when they are filled out online.
Dive Into the Remarkable Options
The primary aim of this feature is to make form-filling an engaging and aesthetically pleasing experience for your respondents. Below, we detail some of the impressive customisation options now available:
Background Themes
To get you up and running, we have created several themes for you to choose from. These themes allow you to review the different styles quickly and choose the most suitable for your form. Once you have selected the most appropriate background theme, the form can now be customised to suit your requirements.
Professional Background Themes:
For instances where the form needs to exude professionalism, such as in services like construction, legal consultation, or corporate surveys, you can select a sophisticated theme. Options like 'construction' or ‘clean slate’ backgrounds lend an air of credibility and seriousness, helping to reassure those filling out the form that they are participating in a professional and structured process.
Vibrant and Playful Background Themes:
If the form is designed for a more casual or creative context, such as an art competition entry or a children's event registration, vibrant and playful backgrounds featuring flowers, animals, or abstract patterns can make the process fun and engaging.
You can also choose to use your own theme images.
There are also other themes available such as Compact for a more minimalistic view that will allow you to reduce the spacing to a minimum displaying more questions on the page. You might find that a Dark background with light text is more suitable for your requirements.
Page Style
The 'Page Style' setting allows you to decide the overall layout of your form. You can choose from minimalist designs that focus purely on functionality or opt for more elaborate arrangements that catch the eye and hold interest. Adjusting the inner and outer background colours and borders can improve readability and ease of navigation.
Heading Style
The 'Heading Style' setting provides the ability to modify the headings in your form. You can change the heading colour and text to grab immediate attention. There are also options to make headings subtle and understated to maintain a sleek and modern look. You can change the heading icon and colour to enhance the overall aesthetics.
Input Style
The 'Input Style' setting is where you can customise the input heading styles, colours and text. You can choose to omit the NestForms heading icons and also add breaks between questions. Tailoring these aspects can make the form-filling procedure more interactive and visually rewarding.
Practical Applications
How your forms look can significantly impact how they are received, and this feature opens numerous possibilities for practical applications. Let’s explore a few:
Construction
Whether you are handling project completion forms, project management forms, work completion reports or final inspection checklists, these customisation capabilities allow you to present your forms in a visually appealing and professional manner. The feature brings a range of customisation options that can be tailored to meet specific needs, thereby enhancing the experience for project managers and other personnel within the industry.
Corporate Surveys
For a mid-year employee feedback survey, selecting a professional background, such as an office setting, with sleek page styles and clearly defined headings, can align with corporate branding and make employees more comfortable participating. Adjusting question backgrounds to match the company’s colour scheme can reinforce brand identity.
Educational Assessments
For teacher evaluations or student feedback forms, the form can enforce a learning-friendly atmosphere by using a calming and focused theme like nature or abstract designs. Subtle heading styles and well-spaced, easy-to-read questions can enhance the overall user experience, encouraging thoughtful responses.
Customer Feedback
When seeking customer feedback on products or services, a customisable form that looks appealing and professional can significantly influence the participation rate. For instance, a background theme featuring elements related to your product range combined with appropriately styled inputs and headings can make the form more attractive.
Health and Wellness Programs
Forms related to health and wellness programs can benefit from soothing background themes such as serene landscapes or water bodies. A clean layout with ample spacing and clear headings can make the form-filling process stress-free for respondents who may already be under duress.
