The Form Assembly 2.0 Beta

The version 2.0 of the Form Assembly is almost ready. If you’d like to have a sneak peak and have a say in the upcoming features, drop me an email (cedric at formassembly.com).

The main new feature is a form processing service. Want the responses to your forms to be forwarded to your email ? Want to see them as a RSS feed? Version 2.0 can do that, and more. You don’t even need a website, you can host the forms here.

There are many different ways to use this service, but here’s an example:
Maybe you’ve just finished with your seminar and you’d like to collect some feedback from the attendees. Browse through the Form Library and find a template close to what you need, load it in the Form Builder and customize it, save it, configure the display and processing options, subscribe to the RSS feed set up for the responses and that’s it. The last thing to do is to publish the form’s address and wait for the attendees’ feedback. It’s all done in a matter of minutes, and no programming skill is required.

The form hosting and processing service will be provided for a small fee, while the current services will remain free (form builder, template library and css stylesheet collection).

Also coming soon is a reorganization of the content of the site, with more resources for web developers and more documentation on the wForms extension.

The launch of version 2.0 is scheduled for next week for the beta-testers, and if all goes as planned, early November for everyone.
