Below you will find the answers to a few freqently asked questions. If you need more information, please contact us by e-mail or toll-free at 1-888-995-1199.
What are response forms?
Response forms are simply a set of questions embedded in a Web page that let visitors interact directly with your site. One of the most common uses is, of course, to respond to the owner of the site, so that the information is forwarded to the appropriate e-mail address. These type of forms – which can be made up of text boxes (the user can type in these), drop-down menus (offering a number of pre-selected choices), radio buttons (one option out of several can be clicked), and checkboxes (which can be clicked on and off) – can also be used for a wide variety of other purposes, from filling out a survey and voting on several choices, to selecting preferences, making calculations, and helping visitors move around from page to page on your site. Some of the capabilities of response forms are listed on our function page.
What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is a "client-side" programming language, which means it is run by the visitor's Web browser, rather than the server on which the site is hosted (a "server-side" language). Because it is run by a browser, it is uniquely suited to interacting directly with viewers through response forms – it can process input and perform tasks without having to refer to the server and jump to addtional pages. Some examples of JavaScript working with forms can be found on our function page, but there are also many uses beyond its use with forms – such as "lighting up" buttons when the mouse is moved over them, or displaying one of several images based on a user's preferences.
Can you customize our forms?
Yes, we can create any kind of form you need, with as many questions as you want (see our pricing page for information on cost for advanced response forms). In addition, you can specify the look, color, and style needed for your forms – we can also add your logo or other images. See our function page for more details on the kind of advanced features that can be included with your form.
How long will it take to complete our work?
Once we have everything we need to begin the work (details on the type of form you need, as well as any images that might be required), it will take three business days. If it takes longer than this, you pay only 50%!
Do you set up e-commerce sites? Can we have secure transactions?
Although we can provide forms and other features that can be made to work in an e-commerce site (such as a form validation script that checks for valid credit card numbers), we do not provide shopping carts, secure certificates, or other e-commerce related software. There are many ways to set up a system that enables your site to handle secure transactions, but not all of them work on all servers, or with the software and database applications that you may already be using. If you need e-commerce capability, the first step would be to discuss your needs with your hosting company or ISP.
