## Description

**Bucketforms Lite** is the modern conversational form builder for WordPress. 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.
