Q. Can you make me a customized form?
A. Yes. We can make one page forms, or forms that span multiple pages, do
calculations e.g sale price + tax + shipping etc. Send emails that are
customized, e.g one to you has full details, and a summary to your customer, and
another to your assistant etc. At any point in the form filling out process
(multi page) you send an email, e.g (client started form page one, so you can
collect basic contact info and reach them if they don't complete the form), and
write it all to a log. We can give the form the same look as your website.
