Gravity Forms for WordPress
As a web developer we all end up working on one type of project more than other, whether it is PSD slicing or application building. I have found myself doing more and more WordPress work these days, so I have done everything that I can to streamline the process.
If there is one common denominator about all websites is that they pretty much all contain some kind of form. Up until recently I have used cForms for pretty much every site that I have built, it seems to work fairly ok, but I have been finding that I am needing something a little more robust. That’s where Gravity Forms comes in.
Gravity Forms is a premium plugin (meaning that you will have to pay for it), it is very well coded and the interface is very intuitive. But, with cForms being free, do you really need the extra oomph that Gravity provides? This video does a better job of showing you the power of Gravity Forms than I can:
That all depends on your needs I guess, if you are like me and work with a lot of clients being able to deliver to them a product that they can just use and not need me holding their hands is a huge bonus. But, if you are a casual blogger that just wants to have a simple contact form on their blog then the $39 would seem a bit steep.
I guess you will have to make that decision, but my personal recommendation is that once you have the ability to create forms whenever you want, than you will find so many uses for them that you will wonder how you possibly lived without them before.
