Form design matters more than ever

Imagine a user landing on your website, ready to engage with your brand. The first thing they see is a form. Whether it is for signing up, making a purchase, or submitting a question, this form is their gateway to your business. Forms often serve as the first point of interaction between your business and potential customers, setting the tone for their entire experience with your brand.

With this in mind, Zoho Forms has revamped the theme builder and the look of the live standard forms to take your forms to the next level. This tool offers a wide range of customization options, allowing you to create forms that are not only visually appealing but also aligned with your brand's identity.

Key features of the new theme builder

Simplified interface

The redesigned theme builder has a cleaner, more user-friendly interface to make it accessible to users of all skill levels. Whether you are a seasoned designer or a beginner, you can easily navigate through the theme builder and create stunning forms in no time.

Responsive fonts for every screen

Take advantage of Zoho Forms' built-in responsive design capabilities to adjust font sizes automatically now. Adjust the font size and ensure that your forms are easy to read and navigate, regardless of where they are viewed. Whether your users are filling out forms on a smartphone, tablet, or desktop, you can be confident that your forms will look great and function flawlessly.

Style the form banner

Banners are an excellent way to grab attention, and the new form builder has come up with banner styles that offer creative freedom to experiment with your form layout. Whether you aim for a polished, integrated layout or a bold, eye-catching design, these banner styles allow you to tailor your forms to suit your brand identity and communication needs.

Add gradient colors to your form

Now, you can effortlessly add gradient colors to your forms, creating visually appealing interfaces that resonate with your brand identity and captivate your audience. The gradient color background offers a smooth transition between two colors. Whether you want to create a subtle transition between similar shades or a bold contrast between two different colors, the gradient background gives you the flexibility to achieve the desired effect.

One of the standout functionalities here is the ability to adjust the angle of the color transition. With a simple slider, you can control the direction in which the colors blend, allowing you to experiment and find the perfect look that complements your form's design and content.

Choose the perfect style for your form

The perfect form style is a blend of thoughtful layout, visual elements, colors, and interactivity. The theme builder allows you to choose from customizable layouts that make your forms both functional and engaging. Whether you prefer a minimalist design or a more elaborate one, the tool’s flexibility ensures that your forms align perfectly with your brand’s identity.

Build multi-page forms in style

Long forms can be intimidating, but with the right design, they do not have to be. The new theme builder allows you to build multi-page forms with style, selecting the navigation that best suits your needs. Whether you opt for a progress bar or step-by-step navigation, you can guide users through the process effortlessly.

Seamless integration with your brand identity

The theme builder allows you to personalize every aspect of your form, ensuring it seamlessly integrates with your brand. From headers and banners to containers and buttons, every element can be customized to reflect your brand's personality. With options to choose your fonts, colors, and layouts, you can create forms that stand out in a crowded market.

Effortless design with prebuilt layouts

Not a design expert? No problem! The theme builder offers prebuilt layouts that make it easy to create professional-looking forms with minimal effort. Simply choose a layout that suits your needs, and then customize it to your heart's content.

Enhanced customization options for a unique look

One of the standout features of the new theme builder is its extensive customization options. You can control every detail of your form, from the background image and font size to the button shapes and header styles. This level of customization ensures that your form is truly one-of-a-kind.

Simplified form navigation for improved usability

Long forms can be daunting, but with the new theme builder, you can design navigation bars that guide users smoothly through the process. Choose the navigation style for your forms and help users understand their progress while filling out the form.

Retain your old themes with ease

Worried about losing your existing theme when switching to the new theme builder? The solution is simple—save your old theme before making the switch, and you can re-apply it if you decide to revert to the old theme builder later.

The new theme builder in Zoho Forms is more than just a design tool—it's a way to elevate your business by creating forms that are not only functional but also visually stunning.
