Build contact, survey, upload, payment, and connected WordPress forms with a drag-and-drop builder and Pro previews.

== Description ==

WordForm is a modern drag-and-drop WordPress form builder for contact forms, lead forms, booking forms, surveys, upload forms, payment forms, and connected workflows. It gives site owners a clean form-building experience inside wp-admin without requiring custom code.

The free version is designed to be useful from the first install. Build forms visually, publish them with a block or shortcode, collect submissions in WordPress, send email notifications, protect forms from spam, accept selected payments, and connect selected workflows.

WordForm also keeps important WordForm Pro tools visible as locked previews, so you can plan advanced fields, additional gateways, CRM connections, automation, reporting, and support upgrades before moving to Pro.
