Web-based Forms Creation Tool FormSpring Gets Significant Upgrade

Monday, July 30 2007

 

I've just discovered FormSpring, an online Web application that allows small businesses to create, manage, and host online forms without having to know HTML or other code. FormSpring is positioning this application as one that "is perfect for small businesses who want to capture customer/client information without investing in expensive coding/development time."

FormSpring pushed through a significant upgrade today. New features include:

Form and Template lists consolidated to central view for easier administration
