9 Exciting Things You Can Do With Gravity Forms
By Will MorrisRegardless of what kind of website you run, forms can be very useful. They’re a simple and efficient way to build your email subscriber list, collect user feedback, enable customers to get in touch, and more.

Gravity Forms, for example, offers thirty ready-to-use form fields and a huge library of third-party Add-Ons. Using these features, you can create custom forms that are just right for your website with minimal effort. In this article, we’ll introduce you to Gravity Forms and discuss nine exciting things you can do with it. Let’s get to work! An Introduction to Gravity Forms Usually, creating forms in WordPress takes a fair amount of work.
