<p><strong>FlowForms is the easiest way to build Typeform-style conversational forms in WordPress — without the SaaS price tag.</strong></p>
<p>Most contact form plugins give you a wall of fields. FlowForms gives your visitors a <em>conversation</em>. One question at a time, guided and focused — the result is higher completion rates, better responses, and a user experience that feels modern and intentional.</p>
<p>Whether you’re collecting leads, running surveys, gathering testimonials, or building customer feedback forms, FlowForms delivers a premium, interactive form experience that lives on <em>your</em> server, under <em>your</em> control, with no monthly subscription required.</p>
<p><strong>Why FlowForms?</strong><br />
Typeform costs $25–$83/month. FlowForms is self-hosted and free. Same conversational UX — your WordPress site, your data.</p>

<h4>Conversational, Step-by-Step Forms</h4>
<p>FlowForms presents one question at a time, just like Typeform. This reduces overwhelm, keeps respondents focused, and significantly improves form completion rates compared to traditional multi-field forms.</p>
<p>Every form flows through three stages:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Welcome Screen</strong> — customisable title, description, start button, and background image</li>
<li><strong>Questions</strong> — any combination of 8 field types, drag-to-reorder</li>
<li><strong>Thank You Screen</strong> — closing message with optional redirect URL, delay, and social share buttons</li>
</ul>
<h4>Drag & Drop Form Builder</h4>
<p>Build any form in minutes without touching a line of code. The intuitive React-powered drag-and-drop builder lets you add, reorder, and configure questions visually. What you build is exactly what your visitors see.</p>
<h4>8 Ready-to-Use Field Types</h4>
<p>FlowForms ships with all the essentials:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Short Text</strong> — single-line text input</li>
<li><strong>Long Text</strong> — multi-line paragraph / textarea</li>
<li><strong>Multiple Choice</strong> — single-select with optional “Other” answer</li>
<li><strong>Checkboxes</strong> — multi-select with min/max limits and optional “Other” answer</li>
<li><strong>Rating</strong> — star rating with configurable max stars and shape</li>
<li><strong>Yes / No</strong> — two-button question with customisable labels</li>
<li><strong>Email</strong> — with format validation and optional confirm-email mode</li>
<li><strong>Number</strong> — numeric input with optional min/max validation</li>
</ul>
<h4>Beautiful Design Customisation</h4>
<p>Every form is independently styled with a live design panel. Customise:</p>
<ul>
<li>Background colour</li>
<li>Title, description, answer, hint, field, and button colours</li>
<li>Button hover colour and text</li>
<li>Star rating colour</li>
<li>Layout alignment: left or centered</li>
<li>Border radius: angular, rounded, or full</li>
<li>Google Fonts</li>
<li>Font size: small, regular, or large</li>
</ul>
<p>Forms look great on every device — FlowForms is fully responsive and mobile-ready.</p>
<h4>Flexible Embed Options</h4>
<p>Embed your forms anywhere in WordPress using your preferred method:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Shortcode:</strong> <code>[flowform id="123"]</code></li>
<li><strong>Gutenberg Block:</strong> native <code>FlowForm</code> block — drag it straight into the editor</li>
<li><strong>Full-Page URL:</strong> <code>/flowform/{id}</code> — share a direct link to a distraction-free form page</li>
</ul>
<h4>Pre-Built Form Templates</h4>
<p>Get started in seconds with 4 ready-to-use templates:</p>
<ul>
<li>Contact Form</li>
<li>Lead Generation Survey</li>
<li>Customer Feedback</li>
<li>Testimonial Form</li>
</ul>
<h4>Submission Management</h4>
<p>Every submission is stored securely in your WordPress database. The built-in entries dashboard gives you full control:</p>
<ul>
<li>Paginated list with search and sorting</li>
<li>Individual entry detail view</li>
<li>Bulk actions: mark read/unread, star, trash, delete permanently</li>
<li>Status filters: All, Starred, Spam, Trash</li>
<li>Unread count badge in the admin menu</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Notifications</h4>
<p>Get notified the moment someone submits your form. Configure the recipient, subject, sender name, reply-to address, and message body — all with smart tag support.</p>
<p><strong>Available smart tags:</strong> <code>{admin_email}</code>, <code>{site_name}</code>, <code>{form_name}</code>, <code>{all_fields}</code></p>
<h4>Built-In Spam Protection</h4>
<p>Three layers of anti-spam run automatically on every submission — no CAPTCHA plugins required:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Honeypot field</strong> — invisible to humans, catches bots</li>
<li><strong>Rotating server-side token</strong> — tied to each form, refreshed daily</li>
<li><strong>Akismet integration</strong> — if Akismet is active, submissions are checked automatically; spam entries are flagged and saved for review</li>
</ol>
<h4>Multilingual Ready</h4>
<p>Every user-facing string — button labels, validation messages, placeholders, error messages — is customisable from the Global Settings panel. No translation plugin needed to adapt FlowForms for any language.</p>
<h4>FlowForms Pro (Coming Soon)</h4>
<p>We are actively researching the features WordPress users most want to pay for. The Pro version will be a self-hosted annual licence — significantly cheaper than Typeform or Jotform — and will extend the free plugin without replacing it.</p>
<p>Candidate Pro features under research:</p>
<ul>
<li>Conditional logic (show/hide questions based on answers)</li>
<li>Multiple email notifications and respondent confirmation emails</li>
<li>Email marketing integrations (Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and more)</li>
<li>File upload field</li>
<li>Stripe payment field</li>
<li>CSV / Excel entry export</li>
<li>Opinion scale / NPS field</li>
<li>Date & time picker field</li>
<li>Phone number field with country code</li>
<li>GDPR consent checkbox field</li>
<li>Form scheduling (open/close at a specific date)</li>
<li>Submission limits (cap responses at a set number)</li>
<li>Zapier / webhook integrations</li>
<li>Calculator & quiz scoring</li>
<li>Extended pro template library</li>
</ul>
