Creating forms can be tricky. You need to get all the boxes the right size, make sure all the formatting works correctly and then ensure it fits on an A4 piece of paper (if you want to print it). Fortunately, there are ways that you can generate forms the make your life easier. Here are some examples.


Contact Form
It is useful for a website to have a contact form page, but unless your website theme has one built in then you will need some coding knowledge to build one. The same is true if your theme’s contact form is limited or doesn’t include all the fields that you want. However, there is a myriad of websites where you can generate a contact form through PHP, Java or HTML and that will be bespoke for your site. This means that you can choose which boxes to include, what text there is as well as any other formatting. This way you can get the contact page that is perfect for you. You don’t need to settle for the subpar version you already have and can instead use a site like FoxyForms to make one that you love. Having a contact form on your website allows your readers to send your questions and comment on your blog without having to use your public comments section. Also if your email isn’t present on your site, it is an excellent way for business partners to get in contact and for you to help to monetize your site.

Tax Forms
Filing your tax return can be a long drawn out processes, and it gets even worse if you have any employees. This is because you need to send them a W2 form which breaks down their annual pay and tax. Thankfully, though you can use an online W2 form generator and get all of the necessary information clearly displayed quickly. Another thing that is helpful is if you manage your income and outgoing through something like a spreadsheet, then you can have the spreadsheet automatically tally your year's income and expenditure. This will save you a lot of time when filling in your tax return. While your spreadsheet isn’t a form, it will provide you with all the necessary information you need to complete your form and having it automatically calculate your income will make everything easier. If you don’t know how to make a spreadsheet work this kind of thing out for you, then there are lots of templates you can access across the internet.

Survey Forms
There are any number of reasons why you might want to do a survey. You might want some specific feedback on something you are doing or want to complete some market research before starting a project. Whatever your reasons, you can use a site like SurveyMonkey to create a specific survey form that will give you the information you are after. It will also tally the results and provide charts and percentages to help you to interpret the information quickly and easily.
