Review from Capterra platform

The different courses are well defined, easily searchable, and the titles are useful. The content can get a bit long, and theoretical from time to time but mostly they try to keep it to bite-sized chunks with small quizzes to help you retain what you just read.

Learn how to create web forms without code

Inbound leads are always visitors that fill out a contact form located on your website or specific landing page. However, to turn a visitor into a lead, you need a well constructed web template. With a simple fillable document, you can do anything from collecting feedback and contact information to conducting surveys online.

Creating web templates is a great first step to making lead generation easier. A well-constructed template leads to a few core benefits:

More accurate information. By controlling exactly what you want visitors to see and fill out not only allows you to collect the information you need but allows your visitors to type the information in correctly, without you having to guess or assume.

Saved time. By having easy-to-find contact templates, you and your visitors can save a lot of time for focusing more on solving problems and helping customers than unnecessary calls. Take advantage of the best online survey tools to build a template in clicks.

Improved customer journey. By delighting visitors with customizable and flexible web-based forms instead of clunky, old fashioned templates, you make it easier for them to gain trust and thus, give their information and/or feedback to you.

A few tips on how to create a web form

A web form isn’t something new, companies have been using them for ages now. The difference is how easy a no-code survey builder makes it to create them. It doesn’t matter if you’re sending out questionnaires or trying to collect leads. Take a look at the tips below to learn how to create a web form that’s fast, simple, and perfect for collecting data.

Make sure the purpose of the web template is clear
Whether the filler is a new visitor or a direct recipient, they need to understand why they have to or should fill out your survey online and how it helps them. Write text in a clear and concise way, and add examples that clarify the type of information needed and in what format it should be in.

Omit questions or lines of text that are too personal
Getting information from leads or recipients is a sensitive process and nobody likes to give out their information and personal details without understanding 100% why they’re doing it. And even then, sometimes they still don’t want to. Make sure to create an online survey including headers and questions that encourage trust, so that more people are comfortable giving their information to you.

Turn an interrogation into a conversation
A massive list of questions is likely to scare off your potential customers. A solid block of text and too many questions can easily overwhelm visitors, making most leave without even getting to the first question. Use a good algorithm for redirecting users to the survey (and specific sections in those templates) that match their request. This way, you can create a web form that encompasses all aspects and details while helping users save time.

Jazz up your content
Add video, image, or other widgets to polish and refine templates using a professional free online survey maker. Customization helps you amplify your unique brand in every contact template, questionnaire or survey you design and distribute.

What tools are needed to create a web form?

Let’s go over how to create an online survey or web-based questionnaire if you don’t have programming skills. airSlate is a solution designed for just that. The platform is equipped with a professional free online survey tool for creating templates and so on, as well as ready-made templates. Choose a category: Custom Service, Education, Finance, etc., and find the example you need. You can insert a matrix, set up conditional fields, and customize just about anything. In addition, the web form creator allows you to throw in widgets for a video, a picture, or HTML code.

Use dynamic robotic process automation (RPA) via airSlate Automation and Integration Bots to pull and push data between documents and any database, CRM system, or ERP system you use. Configure Bots once and set up the necessary triggers so that your template and information move to the right places, saving you from manually running the numbers.

How does airSlate promote more streamlined work? When it comes to no-code, many are afraid to start on the wrong foot and come up short. Therefore the airSlate Academy has dedicated a whole course devoted to creating web-based surveys and dynamic .html. This free course is for those who want to learn how to generate no-code fillable templates and get the most out of the online survey creator.

While taking the course, you can create your account in airSlate and build a web template using the course tips and all-in-one survey maker. This approach can provide you with theoretical and practical knowledge that you can implement anywhere across your team or organization. Assess your abilities by completing the quiz.
