WUFOO forms

While I was preparing for my Microsoft sessions, I decided I would like to get some feedback from the students. So, I tried a new online service and I am amazed and excited about it. Wufoo is dedicated to creating online forms and surveys. It’s really easy to use and within minutes you can have everything up and running.

Even though the conference was canceled, I decided to keep my form online for the sake of demonstrating what you can do with Wufoo. The page is available online at: http://bahrain.wufoo.com/forms/heroes and fill it up while your at it!

The free version of Wufoo account allows you to create 3 forms with a limit to add up to 10 questions in each one. The paid version gives you a lot more features and the packages are at a reasonable price range.

What I loved most is how you can link each form to a CSS file from your web server, and that way you control every pixel on it! The reports generated are also very handy and neat! They can also be exported as excel or cvs. Arabic is supported!

No experience is required to use the WYSIWYG service. I highly recommend it!

To me that blueprint picture looks more interesting.. that does seem like a great service to have, it is professional and probably beats the old “quiz your friends” web services although it is somewhat the same idea.

@N, yea, I prefer to write down my own code! But some friends were asking me about something easy to use. So, for people who don’t write code, this is a great tool!

@Najeeb, yep, thanks for mentioning it just checked it out.
