Web Forms

Forms on websites are essential for collecting user information, facilitating transactions, gathering feedback, and enabling user authentication and content submissions. They help engage users, collect valuable data, personalize experiences, process transactions, and gather feedback for improvements. However, forms should be avoided for simple interactions, overly complex data collection, or when they create unnecessary steps or require highly sensitive information without adequate security. Proper use of forms enhances user experience and data collection while ensuring security and simplicity.

Within the Sitefinity system users have various options for Form integration: 

• Frevvo Webforms
• Microsoft Forms

The choice of which form to use should align with the form's specific requirements, complexity and needs as well as current business processes.  

Choosing the right form builder among Frevvo Webforms and Microsoft Forms depends on your specific needs and the features each platform offers:

Frevvo Webforms specialize in dynamic forms and automated workflows with advanced conditional formatting, making it suitable for business process automation. Offers drag-and-drop form creation with a focus on ease of use and quick setup.

The WebForms team is part of the AIS- Enterprise Performance Systems (AIS-EPS) group in IT Services. Also, we recommend linking to a form with the provided link, embedding is not recommended.

Microsoft Forms are easy to use with a straightforward interface, suitable for quick form creation. They Integrate well with other Microsoft products like Power Automate, Office 365, Teams, Excel and OneDrive and supports collaboration, allowing multiple users to create and edit forms simultaneously. MS Forms Provide basic analytics and visualization of form responses.
