Growform Multi Step Form Builder

Feature

Mobile form builder for responsive forms

Every Growform form adapts to the screen it is opened on, so there is no separate mobile version to build. You decide how many buttons sit in a row on a phone, and ZIP code fields open the numeric keypad.

What is a mobile form builder?

A mobile form builder is a tool for building forms that work as well on a phone as they do on a desktop. Growform is a responsive form builder, which means you build each form once and it rearranges itself to fit the width available. On a narrow screen the elements shrink and stack.

How do mobile forms differ from desktop forms in Growform?

Mobile forms in Growform have their own settings in the places where a small screen needs them.

  • “Buttons per row (mobile)” puts one, two or three buttons in a row on a phone, independently of the desktop setting.
  • “Compress buttons on mobile” makes rectangle buttons smaller on a phone, so more choices fit on the screen.
  • A ZIP code field in the USA format opens the numeric keypad.

How do mobile-friendly forms behave inside a landing page?

Mobile-friendly forms that are embedded in a page take the full width of the space you give them, up to the “Form width” in your theme. The embed adjusts its own height to match the form. When the lead moves to the next step, the page scrolls back to the top of the form.

How can you check the mobile layout?

You check the mobile layout by opening the form with “View” and narrowing your browser window until the form stacks. Opening the form's share link on your own phone shows you the keypad and the button layout as a lead will meet them.

How to build a mobile form in Growform

Build the form once

Add your steps and fields in the editor. The same form is served to desktop and mobile screens.

Set the mobile button layout

Select a Buttons field and choose a value for “Buttons per row (mobile)”. Switch on “Compress buttons on mobile” when a question has many rectangle buttons.

Set the form width

Open “Theme” and enter the “Form width”. A screen narrower than that width receives the stacked layout.

Test on a phone

Open the share link on your phone and complete every step before you send paid traffic to the form.

What a mobile layout changes for your cost per lead

  • Leads from a social ad usually open your form on a phone.

    The form they meet has been laid out for that screen, with the button rows you chose for it.

  • Most questions are answered with a tap.

    A single-choice button moves the lead to the next step when it is tapped, so those questions need no keyboard.

  • You maintain one form for every device.

    A change to a question reaches desktop and mobile leads together, because both see the same form.

  • The form fits the page around it.

    The embed takes the width of its container and resizes to the height of each step, so you never set a fixed height for it.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to build a second form for mobile?

No. Every form is responsive from the moment you create it, and the mobile settings belong to that same form.

Can I apply different styling on small screens?

Yes. Custom CSS in Growform supports media queries, so your own rules can target a screen width.

Which field opens the numeric keypad on a phone?

A ZIP code field set to the USA format opens the numeric keypad on a phone.

Will the form work on mobile inside my landing page builder?

Yes. Growform has embed guides for Elementor, HighLevel, Instapage, Leadpages, Unbounce, Webflow and WordPress, and the embedded form uses the width of the space it is placed in.
