Building something new? Start collecting interested users before launch day. This waitlist form captures email, optional context, and where each signup came from — so you know who to invite first and which channels are working.
A waitlist is the easiest way to validate an idea and build a launch list at the same time. Long before you have a product to sell, you can spin up a landing page with a single form, share it with your network, and watch which channels actually convert visitors into interested users. By the time you're ready to launch, you have a warm audience to invite — not a cold marketing problem to solve.
This template is built for the earliest stage of a product. Email is the only required field because friction kills early signups, but the optional fields surface the context you need to prioritize: who has the strongest use case, who came from which channel, and who might make a great early design partner. The source field doubles as launch-marketing intelligence — by the time you have 500 signups, you'll know exactly which channels to spend on when you go public.
formformform is free for unlimited waitlist signups, which matters when you're pre-revenue. There's no monthly fee, no contact limit, and no upgrade prompt when your list grows. Embed the form on a Carrd page, a Notion site, a coming-soon WordPress page, or a custom landing page — and pipe new signups to your inbox so you can welcome people personally.

every additional required field cuts signup conversion. Optional fields are fine; required fields are dangerous.
at the early stage, a quick personal email from a founder converts more early adopters than any drip campaign.

the people who fill it in are your best early customers. Reach out to them first.
