AnyForm: Customize Google Forms for your brand

Hey everyone

I'm looking for beta testers for AnyForm, a tool which lets you customize a Google Forms embed to match your brand.

You'll be gifted a 30% discount after the official launch :).

    Hey Alex, that's a good idea. I customized Google Forms to match with the brand on my websites a few times. I can see how this could be useful.

    I think it will be great if you can show some screenshots to help users understand how forms can be customized. If possible, putting a few buttons and letting users try customizations may convince them to signup. Just a thought, good luck.

      Hey, thanks so much for the feedback!

      That's a really great idea. Right now it's probably a little unclear that the product requires you to code up a form manually - the value is in connecting a Google Form to that form 'as a backend'.

      Could you tell me about your experience customizing Google Forms in the past? Was it tedious / convenient to do initially? Was it difficult to maintain and update?

        'as a backend' may be too scary for folks that are not tech-savvy. if this is more for developers to easily customize the look & feel of a google form, you can then maybe provide code snippets to show off how easy it is to customize it and publish it on a website.

        It took an hour or so the first time I did it. I think I found a solution on StackOverflow and implemented it. Next time, it only took a few minutes because I knew how to do it.

          Right now it is indeed more targeted at developers, but even so I think you're right that 'as a backend' isn't the most appropriate way of putting it. Perhaps "server-free" or something instead.

          Hmm, your experience mirrors mine, except that it became tedious to manage my forms when I'd used that trick for 3+ landing pages. Also became messy when adding anything more than simple text inputs.

          However, it sounds like you felt quite happy with that trick at the end of the day — so I'm curious to hear why AnyForm sounds useful from your side.

          Thanks a lot for all the input so far!

            Yea, I can imagine it being a problem if you need to do it over and over in a short period. However, I can't justify paying a subscription for something that would take a few mins of my time. Maybe I am on the too-technical side of your target market spectrum, not sure.

              Makes sense - thanks!
