Hi Everyone,

I’ve been scouring the web for different form builder plugins but have  
found few that are currently maintained or have good documentation.  
I’ve tried everything out there but nothing seems to work really well  
or be flexible. The more I try to find one, the more I think that  
writing my own or even hard coding my forms to get the look I want,  
will be faster.

I’ve always been curious if everyone in the community just builds  
their own form builders or even hard codes their forms to get them  
perfect. So I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions or can shed  
some light on the subject.

Thanks!
