Forms & Registration

Church’s are using their websites for more than just a few static web pages.  You have your calendar of events, your church documents, some even have a membership database online.  For my church getting information from a user has been something they recently have wanted to do, for submitting prayer requests and being able to sign-up for the upcomming church picnic.

Obviously running on a church budget free or close to free is required also being able to use and export to an excel spreadsheet is important.  I decided to use Wufoo which makes a pretty form like this.

Five minutes of work and I gave the login information for Wufoo to the staff member who can any point of time login and download a excel spreadsheet with everybody who’s signed up information.

We’re also using this for our VBS volunteer sign-up; but, use something else for kids registration as we collect payment online which doesn’t work so well in Wufoo.

Collect information online another way?  Let me know in the comments.
