Integrate seemlessly into your current site

Since you create the HTML page that the form is placed into, you have complete control over the layout and design of the webpage. You can easily control the size and color of the section headers, question text and answer options during the form creation process. If this control is not enough for your needs, you can manipulate the CSS on the HTML page to have more complete control over the form elements as well. You also have complete control over the success page and can have the user redirected to any page you like after completing the form submission.

Ease of use

Create and edit forms using a simple wizard like process that walks you through the steps sequentially with ease.

URL address masking

By using the web server's built in redirecting capabilities, quixForms allows you to build your HTML page as you normally do, have quixForms place the form within it where you choose, and still link directly to your HTML page. Behind the scenes, the form is being processed and displayed by quixForms but the user has no way of knowing this.

International language support

quixForms is written using UTF8 encoding. This allows quixForms to handle almost all international languages. The form content (sections, questions, answers and labels) as well as the user input, can all be written in any language. This gives you the ability to create multiple versions of the same form for each language that your website supports.

Flexibility in data access

After user submission, you have the choice of receiving a detailed email containing all of the form data, a simple email notification or no notification. You might want to view each response as it is submitted for a Contact Us form or you might want to wait for a month to view the results of your Customer Satisfaction Survey. With quixForms you decide. All data is stored in your online database and can be viewed online or downloaded as a spreadsheet at any time.

Reporting flexibility

quixForms contains a reporting tool that allows you to access your data the way you want to. For any date range, you can view or download all of the data, include only the questions you’d like and even do a crosstab comparision between questions. This allows you to see the breakdown of, for example, “Telephone Support Satisfaction” by “Gender”, or for more complicated statistical analysis you can always download a comma separated file and import it into the data management tool of your choice.

Email security

Since quixForms stores all information regarding email notification in the database, it is protected from hackers and spammers using your forms to send mass emails. Other simple form processors have you place the subject, to email and from email in hidden fields within your form. Hackers and spammers then post their own data to your form and have it send out spam emails to thousands of emails. This puts your web server at risk of being listed on a spam blacklist. Using quixForms you will NOT have this problem.

Reduce development cost

Without the need for a programmer, quixForms will pay for itself after creating a single form.

Multiple administrative user levels

While you might want some users to have access to the form data and reporting, you might not want them to be able to create or edit existing forms. You can create multiple users and grant them administrator access or just access to the reporting section.
