Wufoo is an internet based application which makes it really simple to create stunning and fully functional online web based forms. Wufoo takes care of everything when you’re building forms. It creates the database, and all of the scripts that are required to collect the information from your users. Wufoo hosts all the forms which means it’s really easy to collect information; you don’t need to know anything complicated or even upload the form to your website. This means that it takes a matter of minutes to complete your forms. Wufoo not only makes it easy to create forms, but it also has some great reporting features. It makes online form building software much more interesting than it used to be. Wufoo was launched in July 2006 by Kevin Hale and Ryan and Chris Campbell. Competitors to Wufoo include WyaCracker and Form Assembly. Wufoo has received funding from two investors and YCombinator. They have raised $118,000 in funding. The team is not new to web application as they previously launched sites such as Treehousemagazine.com and ParticleTree.com. The web app was acquired by SurveyMonkey for $35 million in April 2011. There are plenty of other online form creator websites out there; however the problem with these is that they aren’t really that flexible. Most are set up to create one type of form, and one type only. Wufoo however makes form creation sites really exciting; it is one of the most flexible systems available and can be used to create all sorts of forms, from questionnaires to feedback forms. The application is very easy to use, when you log in there is an option to create a new form. Clicking on this brings up a wizard. It’s then just a matter of clicking on the options and adding necessary fields. It really does only take a couple of minutes to create your very first form. You can then change the settings to decide what happens when the form is submitted; you can decide for example whether or not you want an email copy sent to the person filling out the form. Once your form is completed you can then save it and then find out how to add it to your site. It’s very easy to use and you don’t need to know any programming knowledge to use it. Registering for an account with Wufoo only takes a couple of seconds, you just need to enter your email, and then choose a username and password. After you have completed this first stage you will then have your account created for you. You won’t have to confirm your email address, but an email is sent to your inbox. The basic account is free; this is what everyone will sign up for when they first register an account. The free account comes with 1 user, and the ability to create three forms. Paid accounts start at $9.95 per month for 10 forms. And go right up to $199.95 per month for an account that has up to 60 users and an unlimited number of forms. The site is hoping that you start off won the free account to give the site a go, and then progress and upgrade your account. Creating online forms can be difficult, and Wufoo is ideal for anyone that has to create online forms on a regular basis. It’s so flexible it can be used to create virtually any type of form.
