Google form is the easiest way to collect leads or run surveys on our website. But it looks out-of-place, especially inside an iframe. So, I have created this tool to convert the Google form into HTML form that matches the website.

What do you think of this tool? Feedback please?

What happens when a user submits the response? Does it redirect to the default Google page?

QueensGambit7• 7 years ago

No. It submits the response using AJAX and stays in the website that embeds the form.

Interesting. Do you have a sample?

QueensGambit7• 7 years ago

Sure! Here is a sample Google Form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfMixfPiaLo7qTpspr2...

When you use Formfacade, it looks like this inside your website: http://customer.formfacade.com/hunchera/index.html (See "Request Early Access" above the fold).

This is awesome! Can't believe it is still the purple Google Form in the backend.

You really should put that or a similar example on your landing page to show potential customers just what is possible

Very good idea! Are you planning to support multi-page forms?

QueensGambit7• 7 years ago

Thanks! Yes. But, it needs access to parameters that are not visible in a public form. So, I plan to build it as Google Forms add-on.

Doesn't allow choice button options though. Pretty much makes everything text fields is my only issues. But, still really great and neat none the less.

QueensGambit7• 7 years ago

Thanks! But, it should work with choice fields [1]. Can you please check if your Google Form is publicly available i.e. it doesn't popup Google Signin when you open it in incognito mode?

Sorry, meant to say scale type questions like 1 for dissatisfied and 5 for satisfied. You can see it on the google form, but not through formfacade.
