Who this template is for

Simple Sign-Up Form is built for sales teams, agencies and independent consultants who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call.

  • Sales teams, agencies and independent consultants working in lead generation & sales.
  • Teams who need to qualify inbound demand before anyone spends time on a call without writing code or paying for a custom build.
  • Anyone replacing unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline with one structured record per enquiry.
  • Respondents are prospects arriving from ads, search and referrals — the form asks them 8 questions across 1 screen.
  • Mobile-heavy audiences, thanks to the one-question-per-screen card layout.

Why this form is useful

It removes the cost of unqualified enquiries clogging the pipeline and turns each submission into a record your team can act on immediately.

  • 4 questions are required, so submissions arrive complete instead of needing a follow-up email.
  • It collects a verified email address so replies and confirmations land.
  • It pins the request to a specific date.
  • Conditional logic hides 4 questions until they are relevant — shorter forms convert better than long ones.
  • Every response is stored, searchable and exportable, so nothing depends on one person's inbox.

Logic and conditions blueprint

Exactly how this form behaves as it is answered — 4 conditional rules ship with it.

  • Features advanced show logic: if “What are you signing up for?” is Class or workshop, the form dynamically exposes “Which date would you like?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “What are you signing up for?” is Event, the form dynamically exposes “Which date would you like?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “What are you signing up for?” is Waitlist, the form dynamically exposes “How soon would you like to be contacted?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • Features advanced show logic: if “How did you hear about us?” is Someone recommended us, the form dynamically exposes “Who should we thank?”. Otherwise that question never appears.
  • All 4 rules are editable in the Logic tab, and the built-in checker warns about rules that contradict each other.

About this template

A sign-up form should ask for the least it can get away with, and still be defensible under data-protection rules. This one is deliberately short. It asks for a name and an email, what the person is signing up for — a list, a class, a waitlist or an event — and where they heard about it, which is the one extra question that pays for itself when you decide where to spend next month. Choosing a class or an event reveals a preferred-date question, and choosing a waitlist reveals a field for how soon they would like to be contacted, so the same short form covers four different jobs without becoming long. Consent is explicit and unbundled: a separate opt-in for marketing email that is not a condition of signing up, with the wording written as a positive action rather than a pre-ticked box. Because it defaults to the card layout, it feels like a single question at a time on a phone, which is where most sign-ups actually happen. Confirmations can be turned on so the person immediately has proof they signed up.

What this form asks

Every question is editable — rename it, make it optional, or delete it entirely.

Set it up step by step

  1. 1

    Keep it to one screen

    Resist adding a phone number or company field unless you will genuinely use them; each one measurably lowers completion.

  2. 2

    Turn on the confirmation email

    A confirmation is both a courtesy and your record that consent was given at a specific time.

  3. 3

    Use the source answer

    Export it monthly. It is the cheapest attribution you will ever get and it takes one question.

  4. 4

    Embed it where people already are

    Drop the embed into the page that motivated the sign-up rather than sending people to a separate landing page.

Mistakes to avoid

  • Pre-ticking the marketing opt-in, which is not valid consent in most jurisdictions.
  • Making the marketing opt-in a condition of signing up for the class itself.
  • Adding five optional fields "just in case" and losing a third of sign-ups.

What it pairs with

Most teams don't run this form on its own. These are the forms and systems it sits next to.

Works in both layouts

These pages cover the same subject ground as the simple sign-up form, matched on the words people actually search for.

Frequently asked questions

Is this GDPR-friendly?

The consent question is unbundled and unticked by default, which is the important part. Add your privacy-notice link to the form footer and set a retention period.

Can I use it as a waitlist?

Yes — choose Waitlist and the timing question appears; export by signup date to work through the queue in order.

Can I connect it to my email tool?

Send submissions onward with a webhook, or export the list; only send people who chose Yes to the marketing question.

Can I limit the number of sign-ups?

Set a submission limit in the form settings; once it is reached the form shows a closed message instead of accepting entries.
