Welcome to WebFormDesigner's FREE form to email service

Many users of WebFormDesigner have commented that they have had some difficulty in setting up a suitable processing script for their forms, or their host doesn't support such set-ups. Therefore, I've decided to offer our own basic form to email service, initially free, to users of WebFormDesigner.

How it works
Firstly, you will need to sign up for an account. The information you provide enables us to send your forms to the correct person (you!) You should also ensure you have read the Terms & Conditions regarding the scope of the service.

Once you have signed up and activated your account, you will be given a unique User ID code.

Next, you should make sure you have the latest version of WebFormDesigner. This has an additional feature that allows you to embed your User ID in your forms, which in turn enables us to send the form to the right person.

That's pretty much it! Forms created with WebFormDesigner and containing your ID will automatically use our form-to-email service - there is no need to install anything else on your website. Forms submitted will be emailed to you at the address you specified when signing up.

Restrictions

Number of forms
At this time, there is no restriction on the number of forms you can use on your website, nor the number that may be submitted via the service in any one period. This may change over time, but for the moment...enjoy!

Security
As the information is sent to you via email, it is not suitable for sensitive information any more than regular email is. In particular, you should not use this service for capturing and transmitting credit card numbers or other such financial information. Any user found knowingly doing so will have their account immediately terminated.

Link to WebFormDesigner
As WebFormDesigner and this form-to-email service is provided free of charge, I hope you will agree that requiring a small link back to us is reasonable and fair. When producing forms with WebFormDesigner, a small link is automatically placed in the bottom right corner of the form. All I require is that this is left in place.

In addition to these summaries, please ensure you have read our Terms & Conditions

Questions?

How quick is it?
All incoming forms are processed and emailed to you at the time they are recieved. However, please bear in mind that email messages do vary in the time taken to reach their destination, depending on server loads, geographical locations and other circumstances beyond our control. The time can vary between almost instantaneous and several hours.

Will I get bombarded with adverts?
No! Both WebFormDesigner and the form-to-email service is ad-free. The only time we would contact you would be if there was a problem with your account, or to advise you of changes or improvements to the service.

Do you keep copies of the form info?
No, your form is processed immediately on receipt and forwarded to you via email. We don't keep any of the form data. The only log we maintain is the time and date that the form was submitted, so we can evaluate usage of the system.

What if my email doesn't come through?
Like most mail systems, our server will try several times to send your email before it gives up.

Will I get spammed?
It's difficult to see how. Because you are identified only by your ID number, people looking at your web page form have no direct access to your email address (unless, of course, you have inserted it elsewhere on the site) The system is certainly more secure than "mailto:" links.

Why do I need a password as well?
Your password is only required to log in to your account. This would be needed to amend your details or change email addresses, etc. You should ensure your password is kept safe and not given to anyone else.

Will it always be free?
Good question! Certainly for the time being, the service will be free to use. I may introduce additional paid services later on.

How do I cancel my account?
Just stop using it! Of course, a courtesy email to us advising that you no longer require it would be appreciated.
