Hello all, After reading on the this great CC forum about using a contact form in place of linking an email addy due to spam etc., I thought it was finally time to remove the dust form the Web Form Builder program that I have but have never tried yet.

I do have the templates that came with it also and just wondering if this is difficult for me to actually do? Am I correct in thinking that it can only be added and used on CC S-drive ( I see they allow one free form)?

Thanks again I appreciate all the help that I have received from so many here!

The form builder has several templates or themes built in. Grab one with in the app or build and design your own form. The choice is yours. Yes I do believe you can host one form on S-Drive for free but you don't have to use it. You can do a manual export and place the form files on the host of your choice.
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

You can use it on any server running php 5.3 or higher. Be aware that some servers need to have an address pertaining to the domain as the 'from' address. I've heard that GoDaddy is a bit difficult, but since I don't use it, I don't know the details. But there are many people here who can help you out.

The blizzard didn't last for more than about 5 hours, but we got about 30 cm of snow - sideways. Much has melted, but there is another blizzard forecasted for tomorrow... :rolleyes:

Does web-form builder use flash? I have web form builder lite. Could I use it on VSD? I need to build a website fast and don't have time to learn a new program. I also have foundation framer but don't know how to use it either.

Web Form Builder does not use flash. It has been built to adapt all screen sizes, and flash does not work on mobile devices.

VSD doesn't work well on mobile devices either, for that matter. That's why it is not supported any longer. But yes, you can use WFB with VSD.

Foundation framer is easy. You don't need to write code, but it would be of great advantage if you know how the coding works.

I've built the form on Web Form Builder Lite. How do I get the HTML code to use it? I use LunarPages as my host. Do I need to upgrade to Web Form Builder to change where it's published. Right now, it wants to use the site that used S-Drive. How do I tell it to send a filled-out form to my email address?
Thank you. Should I start a new thread to address these questions?
