You need a website form, but you don’t know how to program one (or you’re just too lazy). JotForm is a promising web-based form building tool. Forms fields are simple to add – just pick the type of option you need (i.e. drop-down menus) and add your variables. You can even add a CAPTCHA to help stop spammers. Save, copy the code and stick the form on your site. It’s that easy.

Form replies are easy to read (JotForm lets you turn HTML off) and you can edit your form at any time. JotForm also keeps copies of your form replies just in case you delete your emails. So far the free version lets you receive 100 form replies per month and no ads are shown on your form pages. Unlimited replies are $9/month. Keep it up, JotForm!
