Giraforms is a Gutenberg-native form builder for people who want full control inside WordPress.
Build and manage forms directly in the block editor, using real blocks instead of shortcode builders. You can create contact forms, booking forms, surveys, registrations, quote requests and more while keeping all data on your own server.
