It just works. Gravity Forms has been invaluable to our small, tiny-budget non-profit. It’s made it so much easier to increase membership and interaction. I can’t imagine not using it.

Gravity Forms is highly customizable and integrates seamlessly with other software. We’re using it to create a 10-page online induction form for the manufacturing industry, which can be signed on a phone and exported to PDF for applicants and clients. With its intuitive design and extensive options, it’s the ultimate form creation software.

I’ve been a happy Gravity Forms user since 2016, with much of my business relying on GF-based solutions. Gravity SMTP was an incredible bonus, and I couldn’t believe it was included at no extra cost. You guys rock — keep up the great work!

As a business owner with minimal web creation experience, I found WordPress and GF intuitive enough to make necessary site changes when my contractor was unavailable. The straightforward design made it easy to navigate, and even my contractor asked me to show him how I managed the updates.
