Last week I covered many new features of JotForm 3.0 in screenshots. Today, I would like to talk about something different. Something I cannot capture in a screenshot. Today, I’d like to talk about our philosophy for JotForm 3.0. I think these things are what separates JotForm from the rest of the crowd.

Many people, including us, use JotForm to create surveys. But, we were lacking some serious features on that front. Our form builder was designed for short question forms and we did not have conditions and branching features. We also did not have many survey input types.

We are soon introducing many new features that makes JotForm one of the best web tools to create web based surveys.
1. Label Top Alignment option
2. Many new survey input types
3. Conditional fields and branching
4. New form share options
5. New form themes
6. New reporting and charting features

We are happy to announce WebHostingSearch.com awarded JotForm as “Best Web Tool” of 2010.

Web Hosting Search is an independent web hosting information guide. Here is what they do on their own words:

We are a group of professional webmasters who have had enough of all the lousy and half-hearted web hosting providers out there. So, we created a site that would credit the reliable web hosts and warn visitors of the lesser ones, sort the good from the bad.

Thank you WebHostingSearch.com for this great award.

JotForm servers send around 1 million emails every month. So, the second most important feature of JotForm is “sending emails reliably”.[*] Many people just come to JotForm, create a form, post it on their site and forget about it. They keep using JotForm for years without ever visiting our site since JotForm just works. It does what you need. When you have a new submission, JotForm instantly brings it to your inbox.

We are happy to announce that JotForm is awarded “Grassroots.org Tool of the Week” for non-profit organizations.

Grassroots.org is an organization that provides free web hosting and internet tools to non-profit organizations. They currently support 2,679 non-profits.

According to Scott D’Antuono, one of the volunteers at Grassroots.org team, “Many [Grassroots.org] members have used the Jotform service to create applications and forms they need to build on their websites”.

So, why should non-profits use JotForm. Scott explains in his blog post:

Like any business or organization, nonprofits need to collect information or have people to sign up for something (ex. mailing lists, fundraising drives, collecting donations, etc). Forms are an excellent way to gather that information efficiently. If you ever need to have people filling out forms online, you can create one with Jotform.

Thank you Grassroots.org for helping non-profits and recommending our product.

This is a pretty exciting week in the office. We invited several people to help us test the latest version of JotForm. It was eye opening to see how people behave on these tests. We have always done quick “what do you think about this site” or “what do you think about this feature” kind of tests with other people and since we always get feedback emails from people we thought we understood how other people use our web application. How wrong we were!
