Your Online Law Form
By Dennis Kennedy
Law offices run on forms. Nothing makes law firms run smoother than good form. Unfortunately, creating forms is never easy enough and often falls to the bottom of the priority list.
Infinity Box's Wufoo is an online application for helping you design and build Web and intranet forms of all kinds. Wufoo also does the heavy lifting for you. It builds the database and scripts you need to create useful forms. As a hosted application, all you need is your browser and a little imagination.
Wufoo's Web site lists a huge number of forms you can create — contacts, mailing lists, surveys, job applications, event calendars, registration forms, and even tests and quizzes. The Web site offers a large gallery of useful sample forms to get you started and inspire you.
You start with the form manager tool for publishing, analyzing, and editing forms. You create forms with a drag-and-drop form builder tool. Wufoo also offers e-mail integration and a theme builder to customize the look of your forms. Advanced users can tweak their forms using CSS and XHTML.
Once you collect data, Wufoo offers a variety of output options, including CSV and Excel. You can also generate reports and graphs, and make your form data public or private. You can have Wufoo host your forms or integrate them on your own site and intranet.
Wufoo offers a number of plans, including a free version. Monthly plans range from $9 to $199/month, based on the number of forms you use, the number of entries, storage space needed, and other factors. Learn more about Wufoo.
