Weebly websites are easy to design and customize, and they can be a practical way to launch an e-commerce business, service-based business, or other venture. While Weebly offers lots of features and options to customize your site, you can add even more functionality and value to it by adding forms.
You can use platforms like Google Forms or Jotform to create contact forms, surveys, signup forms, and more. Adding these types of forms to your site can help you make the most of your landing pages and capture contact information for your email marketing funnels.
Best of all, it’s easy to add forms to your Weebly site.
