A
Standard
form has multiple fields on it, whereas a
Card
form has only one field per page of your form, giving your users a free-flowing experience that reduces cognitive load.
Welcome Page in Card
forms
While
Welcome Page
is a ready-to-use, built-in feature in Card forms, it is still possible to have a Welcome Page in Standard forms with a little extra effort by using the
Page Break
field to create multiple pages and the
Description
field on the first page to provide an introduction to your form.

In Card forms, since the user will only see one question per page, apart from the Previous and Next buttons to navigate, the user will also have a side panel (Quick Navigation Pane) that lets them jump between questions on the form.
The form builder for Card forms will show each field you add in a separate section unlike the Standard form builder that displays all the fields on the same page.

Rules
Themes
Make your amazingly interactive interface of Card form more attractive and visually appealing with our simplified
theme builder specifically designed for Card forms. You can customize your form and play around with custom backgrounds, fonts, effects, and more, or pick a theme from the pre-designed themes available in the
Themes Gallery.
The font size you select is dynamically adjusted for all text on your form, including the button text, resulting in a responsive form.
Animation Effects
These effects are visually appealing and are especially useful when you want to provide a visual confirmation of user action, require mandatory fields to be filled out, or highlight error messages as the user navigates through the form to get the user's attention.
