A grid instead of an endless list
Rows and columns keep related fields together: first and last name side by side instead of scattered one below the other.
Forms
A form for everything that needs more than one field. And still stays easy to read.
A single contact field isn't enough, and a dialogue with twenty separate questions is too much ground to cover for a simple sign-up. A form in asksteps shows several fields per step, arranged in a grid of rows and columns. You decide what sits side by side and what gets its own step.
Creating an account is free, with one funnel in the free quota, which also covers forms. Starter includes three, Professional 15, Business unlimited.
How It Works
How a form comes together
- 01
Create the steps
A form consists of one or more steps. Long forms get split into manageable sections this way, each with its own progress indicator.
- 02
Fill the grid of rows and columns
Within a step you arrange elements in a grid: first and last name side by side in one row, the address below spanning the full width. You drag each element into place.
- 03
Choose your elements
Text, choice and contact fields, file upload, and an on-screen signature. The form builder also includes an element for custom HTML and CSS if you need to embed something of your own.
- 04
Set the appearance and embed it
In the theme editor you choose colors, fonts and shapes, or one of the 13 built-in themes. Publish it through a profile page, an embedded HTML line, the WordPress plugin, a subdomain, or your own domain.

Features
What a form in asksteps brings
Multi-step with progress
Split a long form across several steps with a visible progress indicator, instead of building one long page to scroll through.
On-screen signature
The signature element is included in every plan, even the free one. Draw it with a finger or a mouse.
File upload built in
Proof documents, photos, or files are uploaded directly inside the form, as its own element in the grid.
Custom HTML available
The form builder includes an element for custom HTML and CSS: for notices, embedded content, or layout that goes beyond the standard elements.
Leads as CSV
Every submitted entry lands in the studio's inbox and can be exported as CSV in a format German spreadsheet programs read correctly.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about forms
What's the difference between a form and a funnel?
A form shows several fields per step in a grid of rows and columns, and everyone follows the same path. A funnel shows one question per step and branches by answer. You build both in the same studio.
Can I show or hide fields within a form based on an answer?
No. In a form, every field created for a step is visible to everyone. If the path forward needs to depend on an answer, that's the job of the funnel, which branches at the question level.
How many steps can a form have?
There's no fixed upper limit. For usability's sake, it's worth splitting a form into manageable steps rather than packing everything into a single one.
Can I match the form to my brand?
Yes, through the theme editor with colors, fonts and shapes, plus 13 built-in themes. From Starter upward you can remove the "Powered by asksteps" note, and use your own domain.
How many forms are included in each plan?
Forms share the same quota as funnels: one in the free account, three in Starter, 15 in Professional, unlimited in Business. During the 14-day trial the full Professional scope applies; the trial is activated in your account and then moves to the Starter plan.
