Forms
Add interactive forms to your website to collect information from visitors. Our AI-powered form builder creates custom forms based on your requirements and automatically handles response collection.
How to Create and Manage Forms
Add a Form
- Navigate to your project in the new.website dashboard
- Look for the “Form Responses” section in the left sidebar
- If you don’t have any forms yet, you’ll see a message saying “No form responses yet”
- Click the “Add a form” button to start creating your first form
Describe Your Form
- A chat interface will appear where you can describe the form you want
- Tell our AI what fields you need, for example: “Create a form with the following fields: First name, Last name, email, phone number (optional), service type (dropdown with photography options), and message”
- Be specific about field types, whether they’re required or optional, and any dropdown options you need
You can also start by typing this same request directly into the editor instead of using the “Add a form” button.

Test Your Form
- Visit your live website to see the new form
- Test the form by filling it out and submitting a test response
- Make sure all fields work as expected
- Verify that required fields show validation messages when left empty
View Responses
- Once visitors start submitting your form, responses will appear in your dashboard

Best Practices
Keep Forms Simple
Only ask for information you actually need. Shorter forms get more submissions.
Clear Labels
Use descriptive field labels so visitors know exactly what information to provide.
Mark Required Fields
Clearly indicate which fields are required vs optional to set proper expectations.
Test Before Publishing
Always test your forms before publishing to ensure they’re working correctly and submissions are being received.
Forms are available on all new.website plans. There are no limits on the number of forms you can create or responses you can collect.
Troubleshooting
Form Not Appearing
- Make sure the form was properly generated by checking your website
- Clear your browser cache and reload the page
- If the form still doesn’t appear, contact support
Not Receiving Responses
- Check the Form Responses section in your dashboard
- Test the form yourself to see if responses are being recorded
- Ensure the form submission button is working properly
Missing Form Fields
- Review the form description you provided to our AI
- You can ask our AI to modify the form by adding or removing fields
- Contact support if you need help adjusting your form
When describing your form to our AI, be as specific as possible about field types, validation requirements, and any special functionality you need.
