WPForms How-to: Everything You Need to Make Great Conversational Forms




Standard forms are great for websites to obtain information, but sometimes you may want to have conversational forms to gather information as if you were talking face to face with someone.

These types of forms can create a more relaxed or comfortable feeling for your clients and can help you complete forms with higher conversions.

What are Conversational Forms?

Conversationa forms allow you to create a unique, conversation-like experience with your client.  It gives a more personal touch to your forms.  

Here are some ways the Conversational Forms differ from average forms:

  • Guided Experience: From when the user first lands on the page to when they submit the form, only the current step will be in focus. This helps guide the user through the form and provides a conversation-like experience.
  • Standalone Page: The form is displayed on its own page, with no distractions.
  • Navigation Options: In most forms, users will click through fields with a mouse. But in conversational forms, they can fill out the entire form just with their keyboard if they’d like (and can still use a mouse, as well).
The outcome is a friendly, engaging experience for your users.  This can result in more completed forms for you.
