This tutorial will cover all the basic steps for creating custom forms using Piotnet forms. We will cover everything from installing and activating the plugin and adding your license key, to creating and styling the forms.
About Piotnet Forms
Before learning about Piotnet Forms myself, I was quite happy with what I was using at the time, that being WPForms. I’ve been using WPForms since around 2014 and for the most part, it was OK for what I needed it for.
WPForms is very powerful and incredibly popular. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a much simpler solution for creating web forms, although the ability to customize the forms is another issue entirely.
The other issue with WPForms is that it can get very expensive if you’re thinking about using the plugin on more than one website long-term. I bought into Piotnet Forms LTD at a low price back in 2022, but even now, with its current price structure, it makes it very appealing when compared to the competition.
For example, the Pro License of WPForms only lets you use the plugin on 5 websites. But you have to pay a whopping $399 each year unless you’re lucky to get a deal. But then wait till the renewal fees kick in.
Piotnet Forms, on the other hand, granted it’s not as popular, but equally just as powerful and highly customizable, the Expert License lets you use the plugin on 100 websites at a well-priced $99.
Yes, I know it’s not always about costs. But in this present climate, I would say value plays a pretty important role.
