I can remember those early days of my web designing when I just started experimenting on how to make websites. Those days my knowledge was limited and the most important thing I wanted to add to my site was a contact us form. At that time I was not familiar with php and cms etc. When I learned somehow about adding a simple form, I discovered that it was not working because the hosting which I was using being a free hosting was not giving sendmail facility. Few days back I came to know about JotForm which is the first online form generator site. Based on AJAX the whole website looks like a software running inside browser window! It’s slick interface enables anyone to create a custom form of any type for his/her website and even host it on its server, after the form is created, it provides the html code which can be easily added to web page using any html editor. Even advanced function like captcha, payment processor can also be added. Since the form is hosted on jotform’s own server, you can use this service for website hosted on free hosting as well. So what’s the catch? The catch is simple and necessary that they put a limit of 100 emails per month, it’s necessary because without any limit, the service is prone to get abused. Overall this service is best for personal sites or small (very small indeed) business sites. They have premium service also which does not have any limit.
