Forms people finish.

Your free forms report
Tell us who you are and we'll check your public forms for free. Here's what you can ask for:
-
How your forms rank.
For councils: where your forms place against the other New Zealand councils we've checked, for filling in online and accessibility.
-
What's stopping people finishing them.
The problems we found, such as print-only forms and unlabelled fields, explained in plain words.
-
Which PDFs screen readers can't follow.
A list of your PDFs that blind and low-vision people can't fill in, and why.
-
One of your forms, rebuilt as a demo.
We rebuild one of your forms in FormCraft as a working demo, so you can see what your new forms could look like. Try it on your computer and your phone, and see it as a fillable PDF and on paper, in your brand.
Free, with no obligation.

We looked at 6,054 public forms from 74 New Zealand councils so far (November 2026).
-
43% have to be printed. Staff type every answer in again.
-
36% are PDFs you type into, then save and email. Still not a web form.
-
85% of the PDFs we could open fail basic screen-reader checks, so blind and low-vision people can't fill them in.
A web form, a typeable PDF and a printed form, from one build.
Write it once. FormCraft publishes it online, as a fillable PDF and as a paper form for the front counter. Change a question and all three change, so the wording never drifts.

Your forms aren't for you. They're for the people filling them in.
Most forms follow the database behind them: name, email, phone, in the order the system stores them. So people stall halfway, ring you instead, or print the PDF and post it. FormCraft asks the way people think: one thing at a time, and only what you need.
- Name, email, phone, address
- "What's the best way to reach you?" Then only that one.
- One long page for everyone
- One question at a time, or all on one page. They choose.
- Gone if the browser closes
- Saved, with a link to finish later
Sample only. Nothing is sent.
Let people make it work for them.
Anyone filling in your form can change the text size, contrast, spacing and font, or turn off motion, and FormCraft remembers next time. Every form works by keyboard, screen reader and phone.
We test every update against WCAG 2.2 AA rules before it reaches you, so your forms stay accessible long after launch.
