What is a Form?
The place where your page visitors will supply information in exchange for your offer. It also shows how those visitors can convert into precious sales leads. As a best practice, only ask for information you need from your leads to follow up with and qualify them effectively. (Read this post to learn what you should and shouldn’t ask on your landing page forms.)

In this example, the form is structured into Personal Information, Education, Work Experience, and Additional Information. Each section contains fields where applicants can input information or make selections.
Once the applicant fills out all the required fields and completes the form, they can submit it by clicking the Submit button. The information provided in the form is then processed by the recipient, such as a hiring manager or human resources department, for review and consideration in the job application process.
Forms are commonly used in various contexts, including online applications, surveys, registration forms, order forms, and contact forms, to collect information from users efficiently and accurately.
