I'd like to show you how to create a Contact Form, survey or a questionnaire using Google Docs Forms, as I've found them to be perfect for my own websites and my client websites.

There are many benefits - one of which is that every form filled in sends data into a spreadsheet in a Gmail account (previously set up for your website name), so that you can use the spreadsheet to sort the data, or use it in other ways.

Video: 14 minutes - please allow time for the video to load (buffer). This is the first time I'm testing a longer video, and I'd appreciate your feedback about your viewing experience - thanks!

Steps outlined in the video

1. create a Gmail account for your business, for example I set up one called buildawebsitetonight.demo@gmail.com
2. in the Gmail account select Documents
3. select Form
4. edit the first 2 fields, then add more as required
5. to create a Survey or Questionnaire, add as many questions as you like, remembering to specify the TYPE of field (checkbox, multiple etc)
6. set the Thank You Message
7. set up the Notification - be advised as soon as a form has been filled in
8. view email Notification, click link to view all data
9. copy/paste data into an email to respond, if required.

I do hope you've enjoyed this video, please do let me know what you think.
