Using online forms to reduce paper use

It seems that web technology is ahead of the game for those of us who collect data from clients. It is common for Government institutions and Small business to ask clients to fill in a paper form with entry details or data in order to apply, order or list for all sorts of purposes. It seems that change in these institutions is hard to achieve with a reluctance to move away from the paper system of data collection.

With Cloud storage and simple online form builder software now available it is a good time to start the transition. Go green and reduce your reliance on paper and postage costs and thus reduce your Carbon Footprint.

Gravity Forms for WordPress have created the gold standard for web form builds. It is easy to use and integrates with any database application. Advanced form tools like conditional logic and dynamic population of date is a snap.

An example of Conditional Logic for can be used at Big Trousers.

About Philip

Phil started off some 35 years ago as a photographer in training and after 4 years at RMIT decided enough was enough and it was time to start working. He spent the next 15-20 years shooting and selling landscape images of Australia. With the radical change to digital systems Phil got into computers and multimedia. It seems the photographer brain adapts quite well to computer systems and before too long a new profession was born. During this time Phil spent 4 years recording a Photo Tech Podcast series that ran to 100 episodes with listeners all over the globe. PhotoGeek.TV is now in quiet retirement and tech talk has moved to Heads in the Cloud.

Heads in the Cloud all over the place
