Want to create beautiful and interactive conversational forms but don't want the
Hefty price tag or feature limitations of Typeform? Well, in this video, we're
going to look at how you can use Paperform's guided mode to create conversational forms
that not only look amazing but help keep your audience engaged. Let's take a look.
G'day everyone Alex from Paperform here. Now often, I get questions from the community asking
how I can keep my audience engaged and of course, how I can increase conversions on my forms. My
answer? Conversational forms. Now conversational forms offer respondents a one question at
a time experience which is more intimate and conversational, hence the name. Each question
appears on its own page meaning the submitter will focus on the current question before advancing to
the next. So, no need to scroll or navigate long web pages. These forms include progress bars
which help guide users as they advance through the form. Now these types of forms are visually
beautiful and work incredibly well for short surveys or forms that are primarily filled out
on mobile devices, and did you know that you can create these types of forms with Paperform? It's a
feature that is offered to all users on all plans and even better it's incredibly easy to set up.
Paperform's intuitive and easy to use form builder offers both a Standard mode and Guided mode. Now
standard mode is the default form experience that you're used to while guided mode can transform any
form into the conversational one question at a time experience now the process of doing this
is a breeze from your Paperform dashboard select the big button create a form and you can't miss
it there we go you can then choose from over 500 beautifully designed templates or start your form
with a blank canvas so let us start from scratch now while conversational forms are engaging keep
in mind that this form experience is better suited for short forms or surveys imagine a long form
needing to be filled out Page by Page by page one question at a time so for this example I'm going
to build a short survey for a Pottery Studio firstly I'll add a text field by navigating to
a blank line and selecting the add question icon to the left hand side of the form editor now add
a title what is your name and add a description here here if you feel it necessary now at an email
field this time we'll use the slash command again navigate to a blank line type a forward
slash followed by email and select the email field nice next I'll add a phone number field
and finally a rating field now the rating field will ask my submitter to rate their Pottery
Studio experience now from the form editor navigate to the theme editor by selecting the
water drop icon in the top right corner here and it is from the theme editor you have the
ability to customize the design look and feel of your forms theme settings which is the tab
we're currently in provides a quick access to commonly used theme defaults it is here that
you can set your forms fonts colors as well as configure the form experience so let us quickly
enhance the look of our form with some gorgeous colors there we go I'll quickly change that
once we're happy with the form and colors lovely now it's time for the form experience now it's
here that we can toggle between standard mode and guided mode and you can switch between the two
at any time there's no restriction so oscillate guided mode then of course work your way through
the rest of the theme editor sections to ensure that you're happy with your form design you can
add a background image alter specific text and even translate your form once you're happy exit
the theme editor there we go and select the eye icon to the top right corner of your form
Editor to view the form in live mode and voila there we have it a beautiful form with the one
question at a time conversational experience if we work through this form we'll see how seamless
the experience is as I'm answering questions it is automatically navigating me to the next
and we'll hit submit and that's it now make sure to check out paper forms help
