How to Create Survey Forms with Webflow

Set Up Your Webflow Account
Begin by signing up for a Webflow account if you haven’t already. Head to the Webflow website and click on the Sign Up button. Fill in your information and create a new project. You can start with a blank project or choose a template that matches your needs.

Create a New Page for Your Survey
Once your project is ready, navigate to the Pages panel on the left sidebar. Click on the plus icon to add a new page, and name it something like "Survey" or "Feedback Form" to clearly communicate its purpose to visitors.

Add a Form Block
With the new page selected, go to the Add panel marked by a plus icon. Find the Forms section and drag the Form Block into your page layout. This block will be the foundation of your survey form.

Customize Form Fields
The Form Block comes with a few fields by default. You can add or remove fields depending on the information you want to gather from respondents. To add a new field, drag a Form Field element from the Add panel into the Form Block. Consider including:

- Text Field for open-ended responses
- Radio Buttons for multiple-choice questions
- Checkboxes for questions allowing multiple answers
- Dropdown for selecting options from a list
- Text Area for more detailed answers

Customize each field in the Settings panel by renaming the field labels, setting required fields, and adding placeholder text for respondent guidance.

Design the Form
Webflow offers customization options for the form’s appearance. Click on a field, and in the Style panel, adjust properties like color, font, size, border, and spacing. You can also add hover effects and animations to enhance user interaction. Ensure that the form design aligns with your overall website design for consistency.

Set Up Form Submission Settings
After designing the form, configure how responses will be collected. Click on the Form Block and open the Settings panel to define the form action, which usually decides how to handle responses.

Choose to receive responses via email or integrate with services like Google Sheets, Zapier, or Mailchimp. To collect responses directly in your Webflow project, connect it with the Webflow CMS.

Add a Success Message or Redirect
Determine what happens when someone submits the form. You can opt to display a success message or redirect users to another page. In the Form Settings panel, customize the success message or redirect options to thank users for their feedback or guide them to additional resources.

Preview Your Form
Before publishing, preview your form by clicking the Preview button at the top of the Webflow Designer. This allows you to see how the form appears and functions. Test all fields to ensure they work correctly and provide a smooth user experience.

Publish Your Site
Once satisfied with the form, publish your site. Click the Publish button and select the domains to go live. After publishing, your survey form will be accessible to visitors.

Analyze Responses
As responses come in, view collected data from your Webflow dashboard. If set to email responses, check your connected email for notifications. For third-party service integrations, log in to those platforms to analyze survey results.

By following these steps, you can create a user-friendly and visually appealing survey form with Webflow. Gathering feedback will help you gain valuable insights and improve your services or products. Don’t forget to promote your survey through various channels to maximize response rates. Good luck with your survey creation.
