With Umbraco Forms, you can easily create all the types of forms you need to gather the relevant data you need.

Nothing is more important than data

This is the entire data base for your knowledge of your users, and what can help you improve your platform - and it is probably the most straight forward path to the online success that many of us dream of.

Hassle-free data collection

Once your visitors have done as desired and filled out your form, you can easily and quickly browse and search the collected data. This is done using a built-in reporting tool, which is clear and intuitive to use. However, you can also download the various data and therefore work with a more advanced treatment in eg Microsoft Excel or Google Spreadsheets. It gives you full control over your data layer, which you can subsequently use, as it makes the best sense for you, among other things. in relation to improving your website.
