As you all know, not all forms are created equal. While some may only ask for a name and email, others may require pages upon pages of very necessary fields (new patient forms, anyone?).
No matter the type of form, a smooth UX boosts user engagement, enhances your brand image, and drives better conversions. We’ve got a few plugin combinations to make your forms look good and feel good. ☀️
But first, where are my manners? Hi, we’re the wizards at Gravity Wiz—creators and guardians of Gravity Perks, Gravity Connect, and Gravity Shop: a whopping 70+ plugin library that lets you transform Gravity Forms into anything.
Today, we’re here to help you make your forms ~enchantingly beautiful~ ✨
Note: All of our plugins are up to 50% off from November 25th through December 3rd, 2024. Details below!
Create Seamless Multi-Page Registration Forms
It’s almost summer in some parts of the world, which brings to mind summer camp registrations. These forms often require personal and medical details about the camper, along with contact information for their legal guardians. What does that mean? Multiple pages worth of fields.
Out of the gate, GP Multi-Page Navigation makes Gravity Forms page names navigable, on your terms. Activate navigation for any completed page, from the beginning of the form, or only after the last page is reached.
Multi-Page Navigation comes with mystically reliable UX. For example, if you allow navigation from the start, page validation is bypassed when navigating with page links. If a user accidentally skips a required step and tries to submit the form, they are redirected to the page that needs attention. If they happen to miss multiple required steps, a helpful Next Page with Errors button becomes available, saving them from having to find which pages failed validation.
That in itself will make your forms be smarter – now, to make them feel smarter, we bring in the second piece of our combo: GP Page Transitions. Swish, swish…
Choose between fluid Slides or sleek Fades for your animations and bring that glide that makes UX graceful. 🍃 Users feel more inclined to complete forms in which going between pages feels effortless.
Streamline Filling Out Phone Numbers and Addresses
Easy wins for enhancing form visuals can be found in the simplest of places—like phone numbers and addresses. GP Address Autocomplete uses the Google Maps API to, you guessed it, autocomplete addresses and save some precious seconds of your users’ time. We used this API to also create a Map field that lets you display a map to make address completion that much more visually interesting. 🗺️
Pairing it with GP Advanced Phone Field takes this quintessential form filling experience further into greatness. Yes, yes, Advanced Phone Field validates phone numbers in real time, ensuring they exist and all that jazz, but have you seen this country selection drop down?
Make Previewing Submissions a Breeze
“Always double-check” is as good advice as any when completing forms. GP Preview Submission can leverage the `{all_fields}` merge tag, giving the user an opportunity to review their entry before pressing the Submit button.
Now, combine Preview Submission with our free, lightweight Gravity Forms All Fields Template plugin to replace the markup generated by the merge tag with the contents of a file. Make it shine!
Easily Preview Forms From the Form Editor
Last, but certainly not least, is an addition to all combos: GP Live Preview.
This brilliant little perk lets you preview how your forms will look on the live site—right from the Gravity Forms toolbar. Save yourself wasted time setting up pages just to see your gorgeous form, with multiple added bonuses like unrequiring required fields and previewing with AJAX enabled.
“When the builder’s path is clear, the user’s path becomes effortless; a form crafted without barriers serves all who journey through it.” 🧙
