In this article, we’ll show you how to create a landing page in WordPress with a form.

### Benefits of a WordPress Landing Page

First, let’s look at some of the reasons to create a landing page.

Having a custom form landing page has many benefits. Not to be confused with a standalone webpage, a form landing page is a page (not your homepage) that your site visitors land on from either internal or external links.

![A form landing page created with WPForms](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/form-page.png)Take a look at some of the best reasons to have a form landing page on your WordPress site:

- **[Increase Conversions](https://wpforms.com/research-based-tips-to-improve-contact-form-conversions/):** A lot of times people don’t finish filling out online forms because there are too many distractions and no direct CTA (call to action). Multiple offers pull site visitors away from becoming subscribers to your email list. But if there is nothing on the page except your online form, people are more likely to sign up.
- **Spread Brand Awareness:** Since WPForms lets you create a custom form landing page, complete with a company logo and customized color schemes, you build more brand awareness and recognition among site visitors, which in turn will help you grow your small business.
- **Better Customization:** When you have a dedicated landing page, you are in control of customizing how it looks. This is much different than traditional web form layouts, which are controlled by your WordPress theme and may prevent you from customizing your form the way you want. Plus, it works great with all the best [WordPress page builder plugins](https://wpforms.com/best-drag-and-drop-wordpress-page-builders/).
- **No Need for Separate Webpages:** There will be times when you have a form for people to fill out but don’t want to create an entirely separate WordPress page that shows up in your navigation menu. With a dedicated form landing page, you create a custom landing page with your form on it without having to build separate web pages. For example, you can create a [webinar landing page](https://wpforms.com/how-to-webinar-landing-page-wordpress/) for a special event without building a whole new website for it.

Whether your main goal is [lead generation](https://wpforms.com/lead-generation-forms-examples/), creating a membership site, giving people an easy way to RSVP or register for events, or gauging customer loyalty with survey forms, creating a distraction-free landing page for your online forms is a great idea. And it doesn’t hurt SEO, either!

Stuck without any ideas? Check out these [landing page form examples](https://wpforms.com/landing-page-forms-examples/) for some designs you can steal.

Now, let’s see how to create a dedicated landing form page in WordPress.

## How to Create a Landing Page in WordPress With WPForms

Follow these steps to get a high-converting landing page on your website with a form.

### Step 1: Create a New Form in WordPress

The first thing you’ll need to do is install and activate the [WPForms plugin](https://wpforms.com/pricing/). For more details, see this step by step guide on [how to install a plugin in WordPress](http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/step-by-step-guide-to-install-a-wordpress-plugin-for-beginners/ "Step by step guide on How to Install a WordPress Plugin").

Next, you’ll need to create a new form. Just go to **WPForms » Add New** and enter a name for your form.

![The Setup section of the form builder](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/form-builder-setup.png)Then, you can create any number of online forms using the [hundreds of templates](https://wpforms.com/templates) WPForms provides.

For instance, you can create:

- [Online race registration forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-an-online-race-registration-form-in-wordpress/) for your nonprofit organization
- [Event feedback forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-an-event-feedback-form-in-wordpress/) to find out how people felt about an event went
- [Contest entry forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-contest-entry-form-in-wordpress-step-by-step/) to boost user engagement and increase brand awareness
- [Client booking forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-client-booking-form-in-wordpress/) so people can schedule appointments with you or your team
- [Alumni](https://wpforms.com/ways-to-connect-with-alumni-after-graduation/) donation forms to raise money
- [Job application forms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-job-application-form-in-wordpress/) so you can encourage people to apply for open positions within your company
- And so much more

For our example, we’ll create a [simple contact form.](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-a-simple-contact-form-in-wordpress/)

Once you’re in the drag-and-drop builder, you can add additional fields to your form by dragging them from the lefthand panel to the righthand panel.

![The WPForms Simple Contact Form](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/simple-contact-form.png)Then, click on the field to make any changes. You can also click on a form field and drag it up or down in the preview area to rearrange the order of your online form.

And what’s fantastic is that no matter which type of online form you create, you can turn it into a dedicated form landing page.

Make sure to click **Save** when your form looks the way you want it to.

### Step 2: Install and Activate the Form Pages Addon

Once your WordPress form is ready, you’ll need to install and activate the WPForms [Form Pages addon](https://wpforms.com/addons/form-pages-addon/).

This addon is how you’ll be able to turn your newly created WordPress form into a custom form landing page.

To start, go to **WPForms** » **Addons** and find the one labeled **Form Pages Addon**.

Click **Install Addon** and then **Activate**.

![Add your webinar form to a landing page in WordPress](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/form-pages-addon.png)The Form Pages addon is now ready to use. But first, let’s take a quick look at the general form settings you should configure before creating your custom form landing page.

### Step 3: Configure Your Form Settings

There are many settings to configure once you’ve customized your form to look the way you want it to.

#### General Settings

To start, go to **Settings** » **General**.

![Accessing a form's general settings](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/general-settings.png)Here you can change things like your form’s name, description, and submit button copy. There are also advanced settings to [make your form GDPR compliant](https://wpforms.com/how-to-add-a-gdpr-agreement-field-to-your-sites-forms/) and more.

#### Spam Protection and Security Settings

![Opening the form spam and security settings](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/spam-protection-security-settings.png)On this page you can [enable additional spam prevention features](https://wpforms.com/how-to-build-spam-free-wordpress-contact-forms-the-ultimate-guide/) to [keep your website secure](https://www.wpbeginner.com/wordpress-security/) from unwanted form submissions.

For more details, see our [complete guide to all the anti-spam features in WPForms](https://wpforms.com/how-to-build-spam-free-wordpress-contact-forms-the-ultimate-guide/).

#### Form Notifications

Notifications are a great way to send an email whenever a form is submitted on your website.

![Accessing a form's notifications settings](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/notifications-settings.png)Unless you disable this feature, whenever someone submits a form on your site, you’ll get a notification about it.

For help with this step, check out our documentation on [how to set up form notifications in WordPress](https://wpforms.com/docs/setup-form-notification-wpforms/).

If you need to send more than one notification, for example to yourself, a team member, and your site visitor, check out our step-by-step tutorial on [how to send multiple form notifications in WordPress](https://wpforms.com/how-to-create-multiple-form-notifications-in-wordpress-forms/).

In addition, if you want to keep branding across your emails consistent, you can check out this guide on [adding a custom header to your email template](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-add-custom-header-image-in-your-wpforms-email-template/).

![An email notification with a custom header image](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/Email-Header-in-Notification.png)#### Form Confirmations

Form confirmations are messages that display to site visitors once they submit a form on your website. They let people know that their form has been processed and offer you the chance to let them know what the next steps are.

![Contact form confirmation message](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/form-confirmation-message.png)WPForms has 3 confirmation types:

1. **Message.** A simple message that displays once someone submits a form on your website thanking them and letting them know what the next steps are.
2. **Show Page.** Redirects users to another page on your website, such as a thank you page.
3. **Go to URL (Redirect).** Sends site visitors to a different website.

If you want to display different confirmations to site visitors based on their behavior, be sure to read up on [how to create conditional form confirmations](https://wpforms.com/docs/how-to-create-conditional-form-confirmations/).

Click **Save** when you’re done.

### Step 4: Customize Form Pages Settings

Now that you have your form’s general settings configured it’s time to configure your form landing page settings.

To do this, go to **Settings** » **Form Pages** in the form builder and toggle on the **Enable Form Page Mode** setting.

![Enabling Form Page Mode](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/enable-form-page-mode.png)When you do this, you’ll see a bunch of settings that you can customize to set up your landing page design. Plus, they’ll be built from landing page templates, so it’ll be nice and easy. No HTML and CSS knowledge required!

#### Form Title and Message

To start, give your form a title that will display for your site visitors. This is good for letting people know what your landing page is all about. It also lets them know what action you want them to take while there.

![Customizing the form page title and message](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/form-page-title-message.png)Next, you can add a short message for your site visitors to see. This gives you a chance to add some additional information so people know what to expect when they fill out your form.

#### Permalink

Whenever you enable form page mode, the Form Pages addon automatically creates a unique permalink for you.

![Setting the form page permalink](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/form-page-permalink-1.png)You can change this permalink if you want, or leave it.

This is the URL you’ll use in email marketing campaigns, internal linking, and even social media posts when you want people to visit your custom form landing page and convert.

#### Header Logo

The next thing you can do to customize your dedicated form landing page is add a logo. Click on **Upload Image** and choose the image you want to add to your form landing page.

![Setting the form page header logo](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/form-page-header-logo.png)#### Footer Text and Branding

You have the option of adding some footer text to the bottom of your form landing page. Change the default text by either deleting it and leaving it blank, or adding your own text.

![Customizing the form page footer text](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/form-page-footer-text.png)You can also remove any WPForms branding by toggling on the **Hide WPForms Branding** setting.

#### Color Schemes and Style

One of the best things about the WPForms Form Pages addon is that you can customize your form landing page to have a color scheme that matches your company’s branding.

The color scheme you choose will determine the background color of your form landing page, and the form’s submit button.

To make things easy on you, we’ve given you several great color schemes to choose from that we know will look good no matter what. If you don’t like any of the pre-set colors, you can use the color picker and choose a custom color.

![Selecting a form page color scheme](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/form-page-color-scheme.png)You also have 2 styles to pick from:

1. **Classic Design:** displays a narrower form with square corners. The lower portion of your page’s background will be lighter than the color you choose for your color scheme.
2. **Modern Design:** displays a wider form with rounded corners. The lower portion of your page’s background will be darker than the color you choose for your color scheme.

![Choosing a form page style](https://wpforms.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/01/form-page-style.png)Once you’ve configured all your custom form landing page’s settings, you can click the **Preview Form Page** button near the top to see how your form will look once it’s live.

When everything is how you want it to be, click **Save**.
