Most WordPress websites need at least one kind of form. Whether it\u2019s to support a survey, quiz, feedback submission, contact page, or contest, form creation is an integral aspect of site building. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you don\u2019t know how to add a form to your WordPress site, don\u2019t worry. Typeform is a piece of software that specializes in helping you build forms stylishly. No matter what you need to create, Typeform<\/a> can get you there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In this article, we\u2019ll first discuss why you may want to use Typeform. Then we\u2019ll go over how you can install the plugin and use it to create new content. Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Do you want to create an easier way for clients to submit payments? Or would you like to build a personality quiz, or a contact form so users can leave feedback? Either way, Typeform<\/a> may be the solution you need:<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a WordPress website owner, you probably want to know more about the people who visit your pages. Through Typeform, you can encourage greater user engagement, and glean valuable data that lets you better optimize your website and its content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Let\u2019s take a closer look at some of the reasons your WordPress site might benefit from Typeform:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, poorly-designed forms won\u2019t do your website any good. That\u2019s why you need the right kind of tool, one that provides the flexibility and features you\u2019ll require to create conversational WordPress forms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, why opt for the Typeform plugin in particular? While there are many excellent solutions for creating forms in WordPress, this specific plugin does have some advantages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Chiefly, it enables you to create more \u2018conversational\u2019 forms. These are interactive and guide the user through a series of steps, rather than simply providing a bunch of forms on a single page. The experience is not unlike using a chatbot<\/a>, and can be clearer and more engaging for visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, this feature doesn\u2019t come at the expense of simplicity. In fact, the Typeform plugin makes embedding forms on your site an intuitive process. Next up, we\u2019ll take a look at how that process works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your first step will be to download the plugin<\/a> from WordPress.org<\/em> or the developer\u2019s website. This will provide you with a .zip<\/em> file, which you can upload by going to Plugins > Add New<\/em> in your WordPress dashboard. Then, select the Upload Plugin<\/em> button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After installing and activating the plugin, visit any post or page (and make sure you\u2019re using the Block Editor<\/a>). A new Add Typeform <\/em>option will appear when you click on a block in the editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the next section, we\u2019ll see how you can use this option to add forms to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve already created a form via Typeform (for example, through the developer\u2019s website), you may simply want to embed it on your WordPress site. To do so, follow these three steps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, click on the Typeform<\/em> button while editing a post or page. You\u2019ll be prompted to log in to your Typeform account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This will result in a login popup appearing. Your next step will be to select your form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019re logged in, you’ll see which forms are available to embed. These are accessible via a drop-down menu next to My Typeforms<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll have the option to sort through whatever forms you\u2019ve created. After selecting one, you can pick a delivery method. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can choose for your form to be standard, which will load it directly onto the page. Or you can set it to be a popup that users will need to click on. Either option can be a great choice, and the best one for you will depend on the type of form you\u2019re creating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After making this final selection, you\u2019re all set! All that\u2019s left for you to do is to publish the post or page. Then, your new form will be available to visitors on the front end of your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course, you may also want to create a new form from scratch. Whether that\u2019s because an existing Typeform doesn\u2019t fulfil your needs, or because you haven\u2019t created one yet, getting started is a quick and painless process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n First, you\u2019ll need to visit the Typeform plugin menu in your dashboard. Then select View Typeform<\/em> in the top right-hand corner of the plugin\u2019s interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Doing so will switch the plugin\u2019s mode, and enable you to start building a new form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, click on the Start <\/em>button to answer one of Typeform\u2019s example questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s a quick step, and then you can start building your form by selecting Create a typeform. <\/em>This will take you through a short questionnaire that will lead you to your Typeform workspace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve gone through Typeform\u2019s questions, you\u2019re ready to get to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the workspace, you\u2019ll see the option to create a New typeform<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As a free user, you\u2019ll get access to three typeforms. Other options are available only through the plugin\u2019s premium version.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After selecting a typeform, you\u2019ll be taken to the template gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can select a template here to get the ball rolling quickly. Alternatively, you can build a new form from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At this point, you\u2019re ready to start building your new form. As an example, let\u2019s scroll down the left-hand menu and check out the contact form template on the Quick-Start<\/em> page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you choose a template, Typeform will present a preview of what it will look like. This preview can be edited, enabling you to customize your form\u2019s appearance and functionality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n After that, it\u2019s just a matter of building your new contact form<\/a> (or whatever type of form you\u2019re looking to create). Once it\u2019s finished, you can publish the form, and follow the steps detailed above for adding an existing Typeform to your WordPress site.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Engaging visitors to your website and helping them get in touch easily can help you build a stronger audience fast. Of course, to keep those visitors happy, you\u2019ll also need to provide them with an excellent site-wide experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why at WP Engine, we point the way towards the best resources<\/a> for website builders and developers alike. What\u2019s more, we help our users create an incredible digital experience for their customers.
