Rapid form development with Ajax: JotForms, FormBuilder, and Wufoo

…

I agree with everything you are saying, except one part. You have given the surveymonkey homepage example, and some others also said similar things. But during last week I thought about this and decided that JotForm homepage is probably the best thing happened to it. If I just put a marketing talk and ask people to sign up just to try it out, I don’t think it would have received this much of attention. Here is why:

1. JOTFORM.COM IS THE APPLICATION. If you are a web designer and would like to just design a form, I want you to type “jotform.com” instead of firing up DreamWeaver or FrontPage. Or if you are like me vim.

2. JOTFORM.COM IS THE DEMO. If you are interested in finding a form builder/processor, I want you to have a chance to try it before committing. I don’t want to waste your time with registration. Last couple of days I am trying to submit JotForm on some webmaster sites. It is a big pain. All of them first want me to create an account. Then want me to verify my email to go to my gmail account and clicking on a link. And couple of them actually did not even work. I have spent like 10 minutes on a site and was unsuccessful at signing up and gave up. Come-on, all I am trying to do is to submit a listing to your database so that you can better serve your visitors and earn money from banners.

3. GOOGLE EFFECT: Google did not put a gazillion links on their homepage like all other search engines at the time and users loved it. Google’s homepage keeps the attention at the task. Google respects the users and not try to trick them into doing something else. I just like that attitude.

I’m not a spelling nazi, but I cringed at “carer” in a bold headline in the article. (it’s “career”) You may want to just quickly run your blog through a spell checker, just to add to your professional image. Jotform is really cool, and I’d hate for you to lose your audience due to the misspellings.

For a business model, I suggest you remove the “free for beta”, and make it free for all. You want market share, huge, fast. You want to be the de facto form collector on the web. Provide people with the “link” to their specialty form (you may already do this, but it wasn’t obvious to me, in a quick click through). In other words, say I want to put a quick survey or data collection item on my blog or web page. I need the link to go straight to my custom-created form. I’m sure that’s your plan, and maybe you need to let dummies like me know how to do it.

Then you can make your money off of the LARGER downloads or businesses. (or ads?) but you want the little guy to know that they can ALWAYS use your product for free, so you can get the masses to use it.

This reminds me a lot of “surveymonkey” – another form builder, which has “skins” and a custom form builder and a way to capture / download the data (with graphs?). You may want to check out that site. As I recall, they figured out a business model.

Notee how their home page gives you MUCH more info that yours curently does. But your interface for creating the simple form ROCKS.

Good luck to you. I may be back, looking to license your technology! (Start thinking about licensing pricing for someone who wants to integrate it into their own product…..)

Thank you!!

I’m afraid I’m going to use it very much!
