wForms is a javascript library that enhances the web form experience without the need for any programming. If you’re not familiar with wForms, here’s a short overview of what it can do:
- show / hide conditional sections based on answers to multiple-choice questions;
- highlight contextual information when a field is in focus;
- validate fields and show appropriate error messages (available in 17 languages);
- repeat form fields;
- and simulate multi-page forms
wForms allows you to make your forms simpler, shorter and ultimately easier to fill out. It is also unobtrusive. If for some reason wForms doesn’t run in someone’s browser - javascript turned off for instance - your form will still work.
wForms 2.0 has improved supports for Mac browsers, a tighter and faster code and is also more modular, paving the road for further enhancements. I will be posting more specific information about the new features in the coming days.
In the meantime you can download it, read more about it and post your feedback here in the comments, or in the support forum.

The Form Assembly is now out of beta. Our service has been running smoothly for a while, so we don’t really need that little ‘beta’ warning sign anymore. Of course, we will continue to add new features regularly.
Also, this is a great occasion to introduce the new prices for our Response Processing service (*).
- The first 50 responses you will receive are free.
- Once that credit is spent, you have two options:
- purchase more credits. Prices start at $5.00 (USD) for 50 more responses and go up to $24.00 (USD) for 500 responses.
- purchase a monthly subscribtion at $9, for an unlimited number of responses.
If you have purchased Pay-As-You-Go credits in the last 30 days, you have retroactively benefited from the new prices. Check your account history in the account tab for the notification of the promotional offer. If you are on the monthly subscription plan, your last payment has been partially refunded to match the new monthly rate.
Thank you!
(*) Note: Creating forms on the FormAssembly is free. The Response Processing service is an optional and complementary service that allows you to collect responses without the need for any programming or setup.

Well, the conference has been an exciting, draining and invaluable experience. There were a number of great companies presenting. I was really impressed by Flock and SimplyHired. I wouldn’t be surprised if these companies do really well in the future.
For my part I managed to deliver my demo without any major problems. Who knew I could actually type with a parkinsonian-like tremor ?! You can find a summarized transcript here.

February is over and so far so good, the Form Assembly is on track. Over the last month a number of new features have been released: charts, an improved form builder, video tutorials and a spam/junk filter on the form processing service.
March is going to be hectic. First I’ll be presenting the Form Assembly at the Under The Radar Conference, in Mountain View, CA. Thanks a lot to Debbie Landa for the invitation! I’m looking forward meeting the other presenters and some of the best known people in the industry.
(On a side note, March 2nd will officialy put an end to 3 straight years without wearing a tie…)
Then I’m flying off to SXSW. If you happen to be there too and see a tall guy with an incomprehensible french accent, stop and say bonjour!
And before the month’s end, I’ll be off to some snowy slopes near Montreal. In between I hope to release wForms 2.0, the long planned update to the open-source javascript library for web forms.
