Write a form like a document Building a form in formformform feels like writing, not assembling. You start with a blank line and a blinking cursor. Type a question, press enter, type the next one. Each line becomes a real field — the editor reads what you wrote and picks a sensible type, which you can change in a click. There's nothing to drag in from a sidebar to get started, and no canvas to wrestle. **The structure of your form is just the order you wrote it in.** When you do want to move something, grab it and drag it where it belongs — reordering is the one place a drag still makes sense. Every field, fully yours Click any field to open the inspector. It holds exactly the properties that field has and nothing it doesn't — **label**, **placeholder**, **width** (so two fields can sit side by side), **required**, and the **validation** that fits the answer you're collecting. Choose from short text, email, long text, dropdowns, checkboxes, and section headings to break a long form into readable parts. Change a setting and the field updates in place — the thing you're editing is the same thing your respondents will see, not a preview of it. See it exactly as respondents will There is no separate "preview mode" to flip into and hope it matches. The editor is the form. Spacing, side-by-side widths, validation messages, the order of your questions — what you see while building is what loads in the browser, on the page, in the popup, or wherever you've embedded it. When it looks right, **publish in one click** and your changes are live. Everything you type is saved as you go, so there's no draft to lose and no save button to remember. Also included Short text & email Single-line answers with the right keyboard and built-in email validation. Long text, dropdowns & checkboxes Paragraph answers, single-choice menus, and multi-select — each with its own properties. Headings to structure Drop in section headings to split a long form into parts people can actually read. Reorder, autosave, publish Drag any field to move it, every change saves itself, and one click puts it live. ## Keep exploring [Logic & validation Show and hide fields based on earlier answers, and catch bad input before it lands.
