How to Create a Signup Form
Adding a signup form to your website lets you collect contact information from visitors and grow your mailing list, automate follow-ups, and fuel your marketing campaigns. Transpond’s form builder makes it easy to design, customise and publish a form with either a hosted link or embedded code, all without needing to write code yourself. In this article, you’ll learn how to create and configure your signup form step by step.
- Click on the Websites menu at the top of the screen > Forms.
- Click the button to + Create Form.
You now get to choose what Group the form submissions will go into. You can either choose an existing Group, or create a brand new one.
- Next you get to choose if you want to setup a Regular Form, or one using Gated Content. Gated Content forms require that you're on the Growth Plan or higher. You can read more in our dedicated article on Gated Content Forms. This guide will follow the regular Form setup.
- Now you'll need to choose if you want your form to be Hosted or Embedded. A Hosted form means that it will live on its own page with a unique URL that you can share. An Embedded form however will give you a code snippet you can use to embed the form on a page on your own website.
Next choose from one of the available templates. This is just so you have a starting point. In the next step you get to edit the content
- Now you'll be taken to the Form Editor. Here you can customize the form to your liking and have it suit your brand etc. Make sure you map all your form fields to the relevant fields for your contacts and save the changes.
- Finally, step through the options for your form to decide what should happen when the form is submitted, in terms of messages and double opt in options.
- When you're done, you'll get a link to form that you can share. If you chose the embedded form option then you'll get a code snippet to insert on your website instead.
