Performance

WS Form was built with enterprise level performance in mind. WS Form does not interfere with the loading of other page or post content on your website and isolates submission records to ensure as your website grows your page load speed is not affected.

All form code is HTML 5 compliant and if your website theme uses a framework such as Bootstrap or Foundation WS Form automatically outputs code to suit that framework. This means your form loads as fast as possible without any unnecessary overhead typically found in other form plugins for WordPress.

The Best Form Builder for WordPress

By WikidCool on November 21, 2025

I recently required assistance with WS Form, and Mark was incredibly prompt and helpful in resolving the issue.

Having used numerous WordPress form builders over the years, I can confidently say WS Form stands out as the best. The styling capabilities are exceptional, particularly the ability to use CSS variables (like var(--primary)) instead of fixed hex codes, which makes customization effortless.

The responsive design tools are equally impressive, offering full control over how forms appear across different viewports. It is a powerful, flexible, and well-supported solution that I highly recommend.

Fulfills every form requirement you can think of

By mbarthel (mbartehl) on October 14, 2025

Time and again I am faced with complex form requirements. And boy, WS Form never lets me down. Beyond the amazing product you benefit from an outstanding knowledge base and first class support via e-mail. What more could you wish for?

It truly is second to none

By mihaicircea on October 11, 2025

We've been using WS Form for years, and we're confident it will remain our go-to forms plugin for as long as it exists. We've also recommended it to all of our partner agencies.

It is by far the most high-quality, powerful, flexible, accessible, and reliable forms plugin we've ever come across. It's also highly modular, with tons of add-ons that let you build advanced automations and integrations with ease.

Big props to Mark Westguard, who's always responsive and helpful with support.

By far the most powerful WordPress form plugin

By technoogies on October 3, 2025

I've used nearly every form plugin created, but none of them are as customizable af WS Form. Some of them can build a form faster than WS Form, but you lose that gain trying to make it match the appearance of you site. WS Form has it's own styling tool with usable variables for custom CSS if needed.

The Pro version is affordable . . . No, really.

The best thing about WS Form? Mark answers support questions.

Worth every penny

By justingallant1988 on October 1, 2025

WS Form is hands down the the best form option in the game. It can handle just about anything you you'd need. What truly sets it apart though, is the incredible customer service and care about the product. Mark is genuinely dedicated to his users, and his support is second to none. A rare combination of powerful features and outstanding personal support—highly recommended.

Excellent plugin

By dannarmer on September 18, 2025

I don’t usually write reviews, but this plugin deserves an exception.

In the past, I’ve created forms for projects that required several WordPress integrations (user registration, redirects, user meta, etc.) plus connections to external systems. While those solutions worked, they always took a lot of time to build, test, and deploy.

WS Form is the first plugin I’ve found that lets me achieve everything I need in half the time. On top of that, their support is incredibly quick and right on point.

Highly recommended!

When it comes to WordPress forms, your final stop is WS Form — a super-powerful plugin packed with unending features and endlessly flexible

Absolutely the best form plugin out there

By stelifiedltd on September 4, 2025

Tried them all and this is the best pro form plugin by a mile, everything just works. It's difficult to find something that it doesnt do, plus support is great and super fast!

Awesome Plugin- Even Better Support

By prthnon on August 3, 2025

We were looking for a professional, yet easy to use form solution that would provide us with extensive interactions and options based on our users choices. We purchased the PRO version because WS Forms has almost unlimited options and branching with an abundant of ready made solutions that are easily customizable, and is by far one of the best WP plugins we have encountered. But what really makes it top notch is the incredible quick support received from Mark. Highly recommended.

Cette déclinaison gratuite offre déjà tout ce qu'il faut pour démarrer un site avec un formulaire puissant pour répondre aux premiers besoins d'un site vitrine et notamment proposer un formulaire de contact avec mécanisme anti-robot.
