Create forms
Create forms on your website using Perch. From a simple contact form to a booking form Perch allows the creation of templated forms to use around your site.
Perch implements all of the HTML5 form fields, if you choose to use them, giving you browser based validation in supporting browsers. Whether you choose HTML5 or HTML4 or XHTML however, Perch will validate the fields for format as well as whether they are required – fully implementing the HTML5 input types on the serverside.
With the addition of the Forms app you can choose to send your forms as an email and store the data for download as a CSV file – which can be imported into Excel or Access or used for mail merge. We have also implemented the Akismet API to allow for industry standard spam checking if you require it.
Take a look at our using forms in Perch tutorial video to see this in action.
