Web Forms
Web forms are used to collect information from website visitors, such as a survey, an application or simply a contact method. Several web form options are available to incorporate on your site.
MailTo Forms
MailTo forms use a script to send submissions from an HTML form you create to a Carnegie Mellon email address. To use MailTo forms, you must have an intermediate or advanced level of HTML authoring.
Google Forms
A Google form collects data into a spreadsheet. Create the form using Google's form tools then embed the form onto your site. Use your university Google account for this service rather than a personal Google account.
Wufoo
Create web forms using the Wufoo form designer (create a CMU Wufoo theme), then embed the form or link to it from your site. A limited number of forms are free, or you may subscribe to the service for a cost.
