Your website comes with standard functionality that allows for a contact form that lets visitors send messages that include their name, email address, message subject, and message text.  The email arrives in the inbox of the person on staff designated to receive that communication and they can follow up as appropriate.  Pretty snazzy.

What if you're looking for more than that, though?  What if you're wanting to pose some specific questions to your visitors?  Maybe wishing you had a survey tool to get their feedback on a series of topics?  Or an online application form for a new job you just posted?  Or a way to sell a widget in association with a fundraising campaign you just launched?

And what if you wanted to collect all of these responses in a single spot so you could view them all at once rather than opening individual emails?

Wouldn't it be great if there were a service that fit seamlessly into your website that allowed you to do all of that - and more?

Funny you should be thinking all of these things because they've been on our minds as well.  As it turns out, there is just a service that exists and we're big fans, having included it on our own Non-Profit Soapbox site.

The functionality is through the good folks at WuFoo, an online service that allows you to quickly and easily build and customize forms and then copy and paste the code for those forms into your website by editing the HTML code for a given page.  Their interface is intuitive, their feature set robust, and their options numerous.

Even better, they dig non-profits.  How do we know this?  They told us - and they put their money where their mouth is with a 50% discount on their pricing for any organization that signs up with them and fills out their non-profit discount form.
