You know the problem: a great user-interactive website or blog requires forms.  Inbound marketing requires forms.  I needed a solutions that I could install on a client server, thus they would own the info.  Here is what I found: MachForm.  First time around, it took me only 30 minutes to copy the form folder to the server and install. The first form took about 30 minutes to setup: that’s 15 minutes to get the template setup to match the site colors and another 15 minutes to create the actual form.  With the template and software in place, it will take only about 15 minutes to setup simple contact or lead generation forms.

Here are the features of MachForm v.3 that I like:

1. It’s installed on your own server so you control the responses and the privacy of those responses.
2. Easy setup and installation – create a database (most hosts will automatically do this for you), upload the folder to your site and run the installer.
3. Templates – the template is quick and easy to create, contains all the necessary design attributes, can be applied to any form, modified and the changes reflect in all the forms without any updates or re-uploads.
4. Integration – The form integrates seamlessly into a webpage, including a redirect upon submission or response text into that same page
5. The control panel keeps track of responses and lets you sort people by their submitted information.
6. The form can send email notifications to you and a “receipt email” to the person who submitted the form.

Try it out for yourself form the MachForm website.

P.S.  This is not an endorsement of their software and I do not get anything from the post above.
