Getting started with NodumForms takes just a few clicks. Here's how to create your first form from scratch.
Step 1: Open the new form dialog
From the dashboard, click the "New form" button in the top-right corner (or tap the "+" floating button on mobile). This opens the creation wizard.
Step 2: Choose a layout
You'll be asked to pick a layout:
- - Standard Form — All questions appear on a single scrollable page. Best for short forms like contact forms or signups.
- - One Per Page — Each question gets its own page with navigation buttons. Best for surveys, quizzes, and longer forms where you want to reduce cognitive load.
Step 3: Pick a template or start blank
Choose from 15 pre-built templates across 5 categories (Business, Education, Marketing, Events, Research), or select Blank to start from scratch. Templates come pre-loaded with relevant questions you can customise.
Step 4: Choose a theme
Pick one of the 30 built-in themes to set the look and feel of your form — colours, button styles, and cover. You can skip this step and customise later, or choose "None" for the default look.
Step 5: Start building
You'll land in the drag-and-drop builder where you can add, edit, reorder, and style your questions. Your changes are saved automatically.
