Hi @zebran
Thanks for sharing your thoughts about Ninja Forms.
I’m sorry you are having trouble getting started. Ninja forms is a robust form building solution that will allow you to create complex forms, but I am sure that it could seem daunting at first. However, building forms is a lot easier than you’d think. We offer several different ways to help get you started and before you know it you’ll be creating forms like a pro.
- Our documentation is available online and covers a range of topics suitable for beginners and seasoned pros alike. Many topics even include a helpful video to walk you through the process. I’d advise looking at the Getting Started section and then checking out the Using the Builder section. These two sections are full of foundational lessons for creating a form using the Ninja Forms plugin. I’d recommend creating a few simple forms first, even if you don’t plan to use them, just to get a basic understanding of how it is done. There are steps to create the forms with screenshots in the documentation so you know exactly where and when to click too.
- Another great way to get started is to use one of the templates we include in the plugin. If you go to the Ninja Forms > Add New page you’ll see a searchable list of standard forms ready for you to start from. Want to create a job application form so people can apply to work for you? We’ve got a template for that. Do you want to add the ability for users to create a post or upload a file on your website? We have templates for that too. Or maybe you just need something basic like a contact form. That’s there as well. These are meant to get you started and they are customizable so you can add fields, change the actions, or whatever else you need them to do.
- We also have support teams standing by to assist you. You can begin the process by creating a request here: https://ninjaforms.com/contact/ Make sure and include as much detail as possible so that when your request is assigned, your Ninja Support rep can begin working on a solution.
There’s an old adage that says ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’ and it kind of apllies here. Your first form probably won’t be a 20 part multi-page form packed with and/or coding. But if you use the tools and docuemtation we give you, you’ll soon gain the skills to build more robust forms with confidence. And, if you get stuck, reach out to us at https://ninjaforms.com/contact/ and we’ll help guide you to a solution.
You got this @zebran!
