Building online forms in version 1.5*

If you don't have an online form in your website and wish to build one, WebContact Wizard helps to build forms without having to know HTML or programming. You can build your forms either using our inbuilt templates or use your websites templates. A Form-Building Wizard provides a step-by-step help to build your form.

Build using WebContact Wizard templates

The form builder includes a simple layout for selecting a template, placing a logo, applying a background and text colour, generating a server-related script, publishing it over the Internet.

Start building the form by selecting a WebContact Wizard template. The next step is to select the query you want to use and choose a name for the form. Include your company logo, a background colour, text colour and title for the form.

You can preview forms at any time during the building process, and make changes by going back a few steps. Until you save the form, you would be able to experiment with as many options as you need. The next step is to create the questions (e.g., First Name, Surname etc.) and value fields (text box, check-box, radio buttons etc.) for your web form using the form-building wizard.

Save the form, and generate a relevant server-related script using the 'Generate Script' button. WebContact Wizard has included a range of scripts for both NT and UNIX web server platforms so that you can publish forms without special web development skills. However, remember to specify the relative path of the script file in your server to enable the web form to access it.

Finished forms, scripts, and any images you have used can be published on the Internet using WebContact Wizard's fully featured FTP wizard.

Build using your own webpage templates

If you already have a professionally designed website and would like your web form to be based on its template, you can use your website's template to build a form using WebContact Wizard. Your webmaster should be able to provide a template. You can use a single template to create as many forms as needed.

All you need to do is open the template and specify where you would like the form to start. The application would take you through a step-by-step wizard to build a form and publish it. You can preview your form at any stage of the form building process, and you can go back and make changes at any time.

Using this wizard, you can build as many forms as you wish, and amend WebContact Wizard forms previously built and saved. You will not be able to open forms built by other means. If you have a form that was originally built by a design company, you need to contact them for any changes.
