  • Solid, flexible, and built to work with the rest of your stack

    We build WordPress sites for nonprofits and mission-driven organizations, and WS Form has become our default forms plugin. It's rock solid, and it fits into whatever else a client is already running without a fight. A recent campaign site shows why. It runs on Bricks with FluentCRM behind it: It works well with Bricks. One signup form appears in five places across the site. Each placement tells us where the signup came from, just by passing a value in the shortcode. We didn't need to build five copies of the form. Styling respects our design system. The style colors can point straight at our site's CSS variables instead of fixed hex codes, and WS Form works out the lighter and darker shades from those variables. When the brand palette changes, the forms change with it. The styles are also easy to override, so they never fight our theme. The FluentCRM add-on is thorough. Field mapping, custom fields, tags based on what someone checked, a required consent checkbox as the opt-in, and control over duplicate contacts. It covers what a real list-building setup needs. The AI/MCP tools are a real time-saver. A lot of our build work now happens through AI-assisted workflows, and WS Form exposes forms, fields, actions, rules, and styles to those tools. We scaffolded and styled our forms that way, then did the fine-tuning in the form editor. Small wish list: we'd like the AI tools to keep simple HTML, such as a link in a consent line, and to be able to set mobile field widths. Right now those still need a quick pass in the editor. It's minor next to how much the tools already do. If your clients live across different builders and CRMs, WS Form is the one that keeps working. Highly recommended.

  • Execellent form plugin. Robust, well made and excellent support

    Switched from Gravity Forms years ago, integrates much better with cleaner page builders such as Oxygen, Bricks, Breakdance etc. Support is top notch and really helpful.

  • Switched from brand X - couldn't be happier!

    My site doesn't have a ton of forms - but the ones I have are tricky and have complex functions and linkages. After switching from another package I can only say that I am thrilled with WS Form! Everything I need is there, is easy to understand and deploy - and more import - is backed with a suburb knowledge base, resources and support. Well played WS Form!

  • Phenomenal Plugin

    WS Forms is the best! I build websites consistently and every other form plugin I’ve tried - had issues with receiving emails when submissions were made - yet I haven’t had ANY issues with WS Forms. I highly recommend their forms. They are solid, reliable, and you have so many customization options not only with the pro versions but also their addons. Everything is very afforadable. I also recently purchased an add on and it wasnt exactly what I was looking for and in a few HOURS they had it refunded and asked for my feedback. Absolutely wonderful all around! I highly recommend them to everyone!
