This article will walk you through the process of adding and setting up a basic site form. We have more specific articles on the following:

Step 1 | Add a form to your site

Before you can begin using Wix Forms on your site, you'll need to add it in your editor. You can choose from different templates, each made to show off your form and collect your user data in the best way possible.

You can display your form on every page of your site with a single click. To set your form to appear on all pages, right-click the relevant form and select Show on All Pages. You can disable this option at any time, which will remove the form from other pages.

Step 2 | Add your form fields

Once you have added the form to your site, you can use form fields to gather targeted data, tailored to your needs. You can add or remove fields at any time, customizing your form to meet ever changing needs.
