Forms are often needed on websites as they facilitate communications, data submissions, etc. Unfortunately, creating web forms is a pretty intricate task, as it often requires advanced coding skills.
Formoid is a simple-to-use application that enables you to quickly and effortlessly create fully customizable forms that can be embedded on your webpages with ease. Its most remarkable advantage is the fact that it allows you to design the forms in a completely “visual” manner, meaning that you can see exactly from the start how the form looks like, and easily manipulate any of its elements separately. Moreover, it also comes with a handy, self-explanatory interface that enables you to add the form elements (buttons, text areas, check boxes, anti-spam captcha, etc.) with ease, using drag-and-drop and then customizing them thoroughly as you like.
Anyway, it’s not only easy-to-use, but also quite powerful and comprehensive. It comes with plenty of cool features, including support for pure CSS styling.
In conclusion, Formoid is a great tool that offers a really easy and efficient way of creating web forms.

How can I get this free version?
Too many people, including myself, can't get it to work (and I've used several PHP submit packages like this). The form.php file Formoid created to put the form on your page has an error in line ten that calls to an unknown and non-existent resource. Read their YouTube page to see several people struggling to get it to work.Their so-called one year of support service is a complete lie. Their 2 support agents only shoot back irrelevant pat responses: ask you to make sure the server runs PHP when you just gave them a link to their form where the PHP is running on your server, asking you to give them a link when you've already given them three, telling you that you can't test it on your PC when you just gave them three links to it running live on your server, asking you to send everything you have uploaded so that they can look at the code and then never addressing that again, so forth and so on until they finally just stopped replying.The so-called unlimited license they sell you is actually very limited. The software will only send to one address per form. And if you try to change it to the address in a paid version of the software, the software reverts back to freeware mode. That's far from an "unlimited commercial license" in my book.
