Say goodbye to boring, endless vertical forms and expensive recurring SaaS subscriptions. With Bucketforms Lite, you can build engaging, one-question-at-a-time forms that guide respondents smoothly through your questions with responsive 50/50 split layouts, fluid animations, and keyboard navigation. All form submission data stays 100% self-hosted on your own WordPress site, giving you complete data privacy and ownership with zero artificial submission caps or locked leads. ### ✨ Key Features * **Conversational 50/50 Split Runner:** Questions are presented one-at-a-time with intuitive keyboard shortcuts (Enter / Tab). On desktop, respondents enjoy a split layout; on mobile, it smoothly adapts to a clean fullscreen experience. * **15 Free Field Types:** Short Text, Long Text, Multiple Choice, Star Rating, Opinion Scale (1–10), Yes/No Boolean, Statement, Number, Email, Phone, Date Picker, Website URL, Legal Agreement / Terms, Document / File Upload, and Digital Signature Pad. * **Smart Conditional Logic (Branching):** Create personalized questionnaire paths by showing or jumping to specific steps based on respondent choices. * **Score & Quiz Calculations:** Real-time formula scoring, points calculation, and dynamic outcome brackets for quizzes, assessments, and lead qualification. * **Standalone Landing Pages:** Every form gets an instant, distraction-free landing page at `/bf/{slug}` with zero theme chrome or distractions. * **Page Builder Integrations:** Native Gutenberg Block (`bucketforms/form-embed`) and Elementor widget, plus standard WordPress shortcodes (`[bucketform id="123"]`). * **Submissions Viewer & CSV Export:** View detailed respondent answers, timestamps, and step completions with one-click clean UTF-8 CSV exports. Zero locked leads or submission limits. * **GDPR & Privacy Compliant:** Integrates directly with WordPress Core Privacy Tools (Export Personal Data & Erase Personal Data) with customizable data retention purge schedules. ### 🎨 Design Studio & Presets * 12 Curated Visual Presets: Ocean (default), Aurora, Sunset, Midnight, Emerald, Minimal, Citrus, Berry, Mint, Lavender, Crimson, and Cyber. * Ambient wave color animations. * Custom background images directly from your WordPress Media Library. * Light and Dark theme modes. ## Screenshots [⌊All Forms dashboard showing active forms, aggregate submissions, completion rates, and shortcode embed tools.⌉⌊All Forms dashboard showing active forms, aggregate submissions, completion rates, and shortcode embed tools.⌉[ All Forms dashboard showing active forms, aggregate submissions, completion rates, and shortcode embed tools.
