Here at Neptune Web we always make efforts to improve our Neptune Web Edit CMS with suggestions from clients and the latest addition, although still in development, is the form builder module.
The form builder will allow to interactively create submission forms for web pages and automatically process submissions. We know from experience, developing web sites and supporting them, that one of the most frequent tasks requested by clients is creating new forms or making changes to existing forms. With the help of the form builder module, this task will be fully available in the CMS, without the need for server side programming each time a form is updated.
Additionally the module will provide SEO improvements as the forms can be used on landing pages along with calls to action used for various campaigns.
The new module will have the following features:
- standard form fields: text, textarea, select dropdown, file upload, check/radio boxes
- captcha support
- default field values, mandatory fields and email field validation
- ability to specify a page where the form will appear
- a custom thank you message on the page or redirect to another URL once the form is submitted
- generate an email notification to an administrative address containing submitted form data
- submissions will be saved in a database, with the ability to view and download submissions
- style the generated form using standard CSS programming
We plan to integrate additional functionality in the future so this list will get updated if needed.
Please stay tuned for the second part of this artcile. We'll provide more details on the module usage and specific functions.
