Forms are essential for almost every website, aren’t they? Their most popular application is for contact forms, but this is just a little fragment of what can be achieved with front-end forms. They can turn a simple website into a dynamic one with user-generated content. Or to make a booking or applying procedure easy and smooth. Not to mention that forms are a fantastic way to convert your visitors to leads and long-term customers.

Some of the use cases for advanced form builders

1) User registration

Of course, there are default WordPress user roles, and what you can do is allow new visitors to register via the default admin panel. But this way has many disadvantages and vulnerabilities. In case you want to create special permissions and make custom user pages, where they can add or edit their posts, receive selected materials, make payments, and so on, – you need to make them front-end pages.There are many use cases for it: multivendor marketplace websites, online schools, niche social networks, booking, renting, or membership websites; the list can go on.

2) User post submission

Whether the user is registered or not, another special form type is needed to let them submit their custom posts or files

Marketplaces, listing, booking, and membership websites are one of the many examples of when such forms are needed.

3) Appointment booking

This kind of form is crucial for many companies, be it a clinic, barbershop, or private consultancy. And the more advanced the functionality of the form plugin, the better and more user-friendly the booking toolset you offer to your clients. I’m talking about such things as conditional logic, multi-level forms, hierarchical select, and calculated forms.
