Do I need to purchase Web Form Builder to create a form for folks to fill out if I'm using Foundation Framer? Newbie at the "new" world of mobile websites. I've built a site using VSD & want to put a couple of forms on it, of course without using "flash". I'm trying to decide what route to take. I understand that I can't use Web Form Lite if I want to use a different server. Thank you.

Hi Barbara,
It's definitely an option. The one thing you'll get is great support from CC and other users here in the forum.
The form builder should be able to meet all of your needs for a web form.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Can I put a Web Form Builder form be put on a VSD site until I figure out FF? I'm on a short timeline for this site.

Yes, you can do that.

Will the forms be responsive? (able to be seen on a mobile phone) I'm still re-learning terminology)

The forms will be responsive if added to a responsive page. If you are using VSD, they will not be responsive, because any VSD built page cannot be responsive.

One option is to add the form to vsd's files and link directly to the formname.html. Then it will be responsive.

Where do I find the formname.html? I think I've found it. It's named Registrant Information. Should it be one word? When I uploaded it to LunarPages earlier, the form wasn't showing up. It said Error 404. Maybe I should give it another go. I did add it to the "VSD add files".
If I must bite the bullet & build a new site using Foundation Framer, which one is the easiest to work with for a newbie. I LOVE The Coast but that may be for a site later. I got one pix on there but the large background pix, still shows up when I preview it. It needs to be 5 pages.

If the form name is Registrant Information.html, call it registrant-information.html. Actually, you should save it again b y that name and re-export, so that nothing of the previous file name remains.

I don't think that The Coast is the best theme to start with when learning the programme. Try e.g. Visions first.
