Tips for non-designers using Zoho Forms to build forms
Let's face it, not everyone is a design guru. But that shouldn't stop you from creating professional-looking forms with Zoho Forms! Even without artistic expertise, you can leverage their pre-designed themes to craft visually appealing and user-friendly forms. Here are some detailed tips to guide you.
Understand your audience and choose a theme that aligns with your target demographic
For example, a playful theme might suit event registrations, while a sleek, minimalist theme is ideal for professional surveys.
We have an alumni registration form and we chose to have a Standard Form type with a pre-designed theme "Stripes". This theme has diagonal stripes in bold and contrasting colors. This design suggests a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere, reflecting an active and lively alumni community. It can evoke a sense of energy and excitement, encouraging alumni to engage with the registration process.
And we opted for a theme called "Timeless Neutral" for an on-site inquiry form that indicates a desire for a sleek and professional appearance with neutral colors such as whites, grays, and a muted tone, convey a timeless and sophisticated feel.
Pay attention to color psychology
Blue conveys trust, green represents growth, and orange exudes energy. Select a theme with colors that match your message and brand identity. If your message is about building trust and reliability, a theme with various shades of blue could be appropriate. If you want to convey energy and creativity, incorporating shades of orange might be more fitting. Ultimately, the goal is to create a visually appealing and coherent theme that complements your message and resonates with your audience.
Say, you have a feedback form. Using a prebuilt emoji theme in Zoho Forms can be a great option for feedback forms. Emojis are universally understood and can add a touch of fun and personality to your form, making it more engaging and inviting for respondents.
Have a local coffee shop or a cafe? You may need forms for coffee subscription services and feedback forms for coffee events or tastings. Ah, coffee – the warm hug in a mug, the fuel for countless dreams, and the one true constant across cultures and continents. Zoho Forms' "Coffee Beans" theme lets you brew up an inviting and engaging experience for your users, perfect for coffee-related businesses or anyone wanting a warm and inviting touch.
Do you have Halloween just around the corner? It's the perfect time to embrace the spooky spirit and transform your forms into spine-tingling masterpieces with hauntingly beautiful pre-built theme "Halloween Vibes" carefully designed for card forms. Zoho Forms offers a treasure trove of exclusive Halloween templates that are ready to use right out of the box.
Zoho Forms offers a plethora of themes that go far beyond just standard designs. Skip design from scratch and focus on your content with readily available options.
