Surveys, quizzes, sweepstakes, feedback, contest entries and Contact pages \u2013 all have one thing in common when it comes to building them into your WordPress site \u2013 forms, or some variation of them.<\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, the world of forms can be instantly simplified using the stylish Typeform.<\/p>\n

The Need for Typeform<\/h2>\n

Your visitors are your raison d\u2019etre.<\/strong> They are why you\u2019re a WordPress person today, why your website exists. So it stands to reason that you\u2019d like to understand these people more \u2013 visitors, customers, prospects, just about anyone who made their way from a search engine to you. With Typeform, you can engage better with them, while getting that elusive understanding that\u2019ll improve your site and what\u2019s in it.<\/p>\n

You could generate better leads by using a persona survey form that helps you get an idea of the customer or audience \u2018persona\u2019 that frequents your website. A contact form, on the other hand, helps you connect better and stronger with the same people. And who in their right mind can look away from a fun quiz like \u201cWhich Star Wars character are you most like?\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

This, of course, means that your forms have to be top-notch. A flexible tool to create those engaging, feature-rich conversational forms for WordPress \u2013 that\u2019s Typeform.<\/p>\n

The Typeform Plugin for WordPress<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s a couple of pretty straightforward reasons for why Typeform is better than its many excellent alternatives:<\/p>\n

The Conversational form.<\/h3>\n

You\u2019ve seen these \u2013 interactive, guided sets of steps or questions rather than a bunch of them on the same page. When implemented just the right way, the experience is more akin to \u2018talking\u2019 to an \u201cAI bot\u201d than \u2018filling up\u2019 a form. The first is engaging, the second feels more like work.<\/p>\n

Simplicity.<\/h3>\n

While the end product looks more polished and engaging, Typeform doesn\u2019t make life difficult for you \u2013 in fact, the process is more, not less intuitive.<\/p>\n

Typeform Installation<\/h2>\n

Follow these steps to get set up with Typeform:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • You can get the Typeform plugin for WordPress from WordPress.org or from the Typeform website. The zip file that you get can be uploaded with \u2018Add New\u2019 under \u2018Plugins\u2019 in the dashboard. Click on \u2018Upload Plugin\u2019 to continue.<\/li>\n
  • Install and activate the plugin.<\/li>\n
  • Use the Block editor on any post or page, and every time you select a block, you\u2019ll notice an \u2018Add Typeform\u2019<\/strong> option in the editor.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Using a Typeform You\u2019ve Already Made<\/h2>\n

    If you\u2019ve been on the developer\u2019s website, for instance, and made your own Typeform already, all you really want to do is embed it in your site:<\/p>\n

    Click the \u2018Typeform\u2019 button while in the Editor, and log in with your Typeform account using the login popup that appears.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll see all the forms on your account and you can pick one of them from the My Typeforms dropdown menu, to embed in your post or page. After this, choose a delivery method.<\/p>\n

    The standard delivery will directly load the form as part of the page, while the popup delivery method will create a popup for users to click.<\/strong> Choose whichever option works for you; neither is intrinsically better. Publish or Save, and your new form is deployed!<\/p>\n

    Creating a New Form<\/h2>\n

    If, however, you decide to create a fresh form, follow these seamless steps instead:<\/p>\n

      \n
    • In the Typeform menu in your dashboard, click on \u2018View Typeform\u2019 at the top right of the screen. This switches the plugin \u2018mode\u2019 and you can create a new form.<\/li>\n
    • Click \u2018Start\u2019 to be shown an example question that you can answer. Next, click on \u2018Create a typeform\u2019. A few questions later, you should be at the Typeform workspace.<\/li>\n
    • Even in the free version of the plugin, you can choose from three kinds, while the premium version lets you access a whole lot more. Once you select a typeform, the template gallery opens up. Select a template you like, or create your form from the ground up \u2013 the choice is yours.<\/strong><\/li>\n
    • Typeform will preview the template you choose, and you can edit it to customize it to your liking.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      Build the kind of form you\u2019d like, and publish it. You\u2019re good to go, and now, you know how Typeform can help you build hip, conversational forms for better engagement with customers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
