Forms

Web forms gather information from users. For most forms, we use a third-party plugin called Gravity Forms, but do use a third-party application called Qualtrics for some older forms (which we’re slowly phasing out).

Don’t build any regular HTML forms in WordPress! Use Gravity Forms instead.

*** We don’t link to Google Forms on the website if the form asks for personal information – these forms aren’t secure and don’t meet our accessibility requirements.

Gravity Forms

Gravity Forms are secure and simple to set up, and it’s easy to view submission data. The forms are accessible and fully responsive.

Styling

Gravity Forms show up as part of a normal pcc.edu webpage, and are light gray with white input fields.

How to use for Gravity Forms

If you’d like a form on your website, contact us at webteam@pcc.edu [opens in new window] and we’ll help you get started. Editors can view and manage form submissions through email and/or in WordPress.

Qualtrics forms

Some older forms are still in Qualtrics (Gravity Forms is preferred for new forms). It’s a third-party system, so forms are located on an external website rather than embedded on a pcc.edu webpage.

Styling

Qualtrics forms are clean, simple, and white, with light gray input fields.

Blackbaud forms

The PCC Foundation uses a third-party system called Blackbaud for their various donation forms.

Styling

Blackbaud forms resemble Gravity Forms and are embedded on a pcc.edu webpage. A small “loading” gif appears before the form loads.

How to use for Blackbaud forms

Use the bbox shortcode.

Other forms

There are a handful of other forms on the website, but they look the same as a Gravity Form. These are HTML forms that are part of various child themes.
