Contour makes creating contact forms, entry forms and questionnaires just as easy as using Word. You won't need to write a single line of code.
Instead, you can create, edit and administer your form via a user interface that is a fully integrated part of Umbraco.
Get your questions answered
Contour deals with
large questionnaires and other forms in steps so it is more
manageable and therefore easier for your visitors to answer
questions. They will only have to handle a couple of questions, on
the screen, at a time. This increases the likelihood of the
questionnaire being completed. This method therefore also makes
Contour suitable for gathering large amounts of information.

questionnaire in 3 minutes
Make your forms easily accessible
Contour follows W3C's accessibility
guidelines (WCAG). The program ensures that your forms
are easily accessible and that they function in different browsers,
completely automatically. In this way, you can live up to the
rising demands for accessibility set out by the authorities and
various organisations.
Integration with other databases and systems
Contour makes it easy to save your form
entries on other databases such as SQL Server and
Access. The program also easily integrates your data into systems
such as Microsoft CRM or Salesforce via web services.
For example, it only takes a few clicks to drag a table from
another database and take it online.

it is to go from SQL Server to online form
Further develop your forms
Contour should be able to
provide everything you need. However, if you require special field
types or need your form entries to be saved in a special format,
Contour comes with an open and fully documented API.
This will allow your developers to custom-make Contour according to
your needs. Several code examples and videos are included to assist
you.
Trust our security
Contour is completely
integrated in Umbraco's security system. You can therefore decide
exactly which users may insert, edit and export data.

secure Contour is
Export your data with one click
Contour's export
functions make it easy for you to continue work on the gathered
data. With just one click, you can for example see how many people
have completed your form; you can sort and group your data or carry
on working in other programs like Excel or Numbers.

A flexible work routine
Contour has an easy
workflow, which gives you complete control over what happens when a
form is shown, filled out and sent etc. In this way, you can send
emails, save data in databases, enter goals from Google Analytics
and much more. All this in just a few clicks.
Manage your data in many languages
Contour is able to
manage forms in many languages just as effectively as Umbraco does
on multi-language sites. You can also use Umbraco's integrated
dictionary in all the fields and value ranges, which makes the
procedure easier and familiar.

Get full XSLT integration
Contour's
XSLT Extensions allow you to show the form's data on
the Internet. The program is not limited to questionnaires and
contact forms alone. Contour can also be used for advanced web 2.0
functions and comments and ratings etc. The program automatically
saves information regarding the page and which member filled out
the form.
This is how you make a comment function
Effective protection against SPAM
Contour protects your data against spam,
which unfortunately often attacks online-forms. For example, the
program contains Captcha field types that cannot be detected by the
SPAM robots. It is also easy to implement anti
SPAM systems such as Akismet or Mollom in Contour,
which ensure that your visitors won't be bugged by Captcha
fields.
