I always wanted to build a website, but thought it would be too complicated. So I decided to hire a contractor to build it for me, and let me just say, that ended in disaster. I got nothing for the price I paid to have it done, and today, the site does not exist.
After having this experience, I decided that if I was going to have a website, I was going to build it myself…so I did! Once I got started building my first site, I spent a great deal of time learning about the WordPress tool, the plugins, themes, and even some php. While the tool was pretty easy to navigate, there were often things that I needed to do, but had no idea of how to do them. As I researched further, I learned that there were plugins that provided the exact functionality that I was looking for.
One plugin that became a fast favorite of mine was Visual Form Builder Pro (VFB). This plugin is really affordable, and allows you to create easy, beautiful WordPress forms. The interface is so easy to use, and gives you a variety of fields to choose from, making your form creation a snap. One of my favorite things about it is that all the fields line up just right, and there is a bordered background that encloses all the fields, giving the form a much neater look.
Another great thing about it is the support you get from VFB when there’s a problem. I recall an incident where the reCaptcha part of VFB was not behaving properly, and I contacted support, and in no time, literally minutes, there was a new version of the plugin released.
That kind of support made me very happy, because I didn’t have to waste a lot of time waiting around for back and forth email communication. I was able to move forward with my site creation, and stay on track with my deadline.
Now I’m not saying all support works out that quickly, but the idea of knowing that the author of the plugin understands the urgency of getting your site up and running quickly, puts my mind at ease.
So with that kind of reassurance in mind, I completed my first site and took everything I learned and poured it into creating my second site. And of course one of the first plugins that I installed–among many–was VFB, and in no time, I was able to create all the necessary forms I needed.
VFB is a great plugin, and I definitely recommend it if you are creating your first website, and you are just beginning to use the WordPress tool. There are so many great features in this plugin, you won’t have any problems creating forms just the way you want them.
