People often say that having lots of plugins is bad and this is generally true, however, if the plugins are well written and don’t do lots of external calls the speed should be fine.

Have you tested the existing form solutions?

I do think like you, but I can’t say this plugin or that plugin will be coded like a heaven, where you can read, clear comments or follow the requirements from WP.

For your question, yes I’m testing a plugin which offers everything from creating frontend submission form to handle the payment such as pay per post, and subcription, etc…

I think this plugin will be helpfull with the others somehow so I just put the name here in case of you will ask: [link to commercial plugin removed by moderator]

Thank you,
