I am excited to announce that we have finally released Jotform 2.0. Since its first release more than a year ago, we have been constantly getting great feedback from hundreds of users. It seamed that Jotform really solved a need for webmasters: Creating web forms easily.
Jotform user base has been growing with an increasing rate and we now have about 28,000 users. More than 500,000 form submissions has been made and about 100,000 forms have been created. When I developed first version of Jotform, I had no idea it would be this popular. Basically, I developed it for our other product Profile Manager. Releasing it as a separate web based product was an afterthought. It was a lot of fun though. We even have made the final design on a ski trip in Killington, Vermont. We were skiing and snowboarding in the morning, and making the graphics and final design on the afternoon to the night. It was tiring like hell. But we had lots of fun.
Jotform 2.0 wasn’t that easy. My plan was to introduce a paid Premium version. However, I didn’t want to do this the easy way by restricting existing free features. Instead I preferred to develop an improved free version and create additional great features that would be worth paying for. I have been also too much occupied with other projects and customer support, and I couldn’t spend a great deal of time on this. So, the new version has been developed mainly by our talented developer Serkan. He has been very creative. He has come up with a web based Wizard UI that made things much easier for users to perform tasks without leaving the form builder. I don’t think anything like that has been done before. He also has developed a special JavaScript debugger called Tracer that makes JavaScript development easier and faster.

Brian, unfortunately no, currently Jotform does not have a quantity option for payments.

Aytekin,
Does the current form builder allow for variable numbers to adjust the total at the end? For instance, if I have registrants signing up for a conference and there is an option to order 0-30 shirts at $5.00/shirt, is there a way for this form builder to total the amount, regardless of how many shirts each registrant may order, so that the paypal button will bill that totaled amount? Thank you!

I just wanted to express my admiration for the product you are offering here. I will definitely be using your services for all future web projects, in fact it will be something I will offer to all new clients. I will also be signing up for the monthly subscription HOWEVER, I was wondering, could you charge an annual fee so that people who do not wish to pay per month can pay per year?

Experienced a few error messges, especially when trying to add my url (thank you) for the submission. IT seems that how ever I try, it does not work. ALso, the pages seem to be very slow loading. I upgraded to the premium services and still experience this problem.
Other then that, the forms are easy to create!

Jonathan, please post your questions on the support forum. I took a look at your form and you enabled the "Send post data" option which means the user submission details were being posted into your Thank You page. But since your server does not allow HTTP POSTs on the html pages, it was not working. I disabled this feature for you on your form.

Dear Sir
My users report they get this error
HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed
They then return and submit a form again and again!
It happens when they are re-directed to a thankyou page.
This error (HTTP 405 Method Not Allowed) means that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but the site has a programming error.
My form is on
The thankyou.html page is at
thankyou.html
However the form doesn't redirect to the thankyou page.
Any help would be appreciated and thank YOU for the service!
Jonathan

This is truly one of the neatest tools I have seen in years -- honestly! Incredible interface and ease of use, hats off to you.

We added that option couple of weeks ago, so you might have missed it if you haven't looked at it recently.
Yes, it can send email to multiple addresses. If you separate the addresses with commas it will send them in a single email. Or you can use semi colons to have it send the emails separately.

@Aytekin,
Thanks for the help. I am just wondering how I missed that option.
Moreover, it is sending mail to multiple email addresses (comma separated email addresses in settings).

Rupesh,
Please post the support questions/problems on the Jotform support forum. That would be more appropriate for this. Thanks.

1. You can receive plain text emails. Just go to "Account" page and disable the HTML emails.
2. You should probably copy both your form and the Statcounter code into your site. This way, you would have more control over it.
More than a year ago
one more thing.., When I inserted Statcounter code in my form to get visitor details, on loading the form displays a message "code is corrupted.. reinstall...."
Can you please checkout these issues and give some solution?

I am using it to get SMS on my mobile. Previously, It was sending message as text. but now, the new jotform sends the message as html which is blank. Only "&nbsb" is received as SMS.
I suggest it should let us to receive the message as plain text (that too the specific field entries only) not in form of "question-answer" html format?
Also, it should send the message to multiple emails at a time.

Hi Connor,
Thank you for the nice words and the suggestions for the adwords. I will certainly give it a try. :)
More than a year ago
Thank you very much for your application! After searching on the web for a form wizard, I was getting discouraged that all of your competitors are offering the same service for well over $300. Some were $250/month!!
Once I found Jotform, I had no hesitation paying the $9/month. Way worth it!
The way I found Jotform was searching for "Free Web Survey Form Wizard" and I came across your Adwords link. Since the majority of your competitors are exorbitantly priced, I think you might be able to get better conversion on the above keywords (except for the "free" part) by stating right in your ad that your service is only $9/month. Maybe try split testing the two ads and see how they convert. Most services offer a free "demo", it's hard to find their actual price, and their actual price is ridiculously high. Click, I've lost interest and I exit the site. Since your price is so low, I say just state it up front and if your prospects even check out one other service, you will quickly become their first choice.
Hopefully it works out for you! If you try it, let me know how it turns out! :)
Best,
Connor Ferster

i am still a newbie in html but just manage to launch our brand new Ads online website for the community last week ,thanks to Jotform , we now have used over 40 forms in our site and they are so easy to create , unlike other web form hostings , their forms are very complicated , nesting round and round, and they don't deliver their promise ( you don't get this and that because of fine prints every where).
Well , all the best to Jotform , we have placed a link to Jotform in our website to support it.

Bill: On the Form Editor or on My Forms, click on "Share". You will see a "Copy Your Permalink: " link. Click on the lock icon there to get the secure form URL. Or you can simply change "http://" to "https://" on your form URL to make it secure.

Terri, that should be opening up a wizard window as shown on the screenshot tour above. Can you let us know what type of browser and you are using it and its version? Currently Jotform only supports IE and Firefox. Thanks.

Do you mean how to delete the submission data? You can do it from Reports section. You will see a cross X on each row. You can click on that to delete that submission.
