Forms are one of the most important parts of your website. It bridges your visitor and you, there are many options for forms in frontpage, so we’ll start with the basics.

  1. Click the location where you want the form to appear.
  2. In the menu bar click insert>form>form

The form will appear with the default reset and submit button. To increase the size of the form, put your mouse anywhere inside the form and click “enter” until you get it to the size you want.

To change the text on the submit or reset button double click it, a box should pop up. Where it says value/label enter what you want to name it there and click ok.

Now, adding a text box to your form:

The text box is the centerpiece of any form, to add one click any where in the form where you want to add one. In the toolbar go to insert>form>textbox

Just as you did changing the name of the submit and reset buttons, you can double click the textbox to change its properties. Let’s do that now,
When the popup box appears, lets give it a name, initial value is optional, whatever you input there will appear automatically when the page loads.

Repeat these steps for as many text boxes as you need. Now once that is done, we can format the submit button.
