The Bootstrap form builders
Although, creating Bootstrap based forms in your web projects is the matter of using a few built-in classes. Whether you want to add textboxes, dropdowns, textarea, checkbox or radio buttons; you may use simple HTML tags with Bootstrap frameworks’ CSS classes and form is ready to use with beautiful styles and even icons.
A few demos are shown in the Bootstrap form’s tutorial. In this post, I am going to list a few form builders based at Bootstrap framework which makes the process of creating professional looking forms even easier.
A form builder from bootsnipp
The form builder from bootsnipp.com allows creating web form by drag and drop component option. The builder has tabs format with input, Radios/Checkboxes, Select dropdowns, and button tabs.
You can simply drag and drop a component from the left side to the right side, in the form’s area. After putting a component like a textbox in the form area, you can click on it to specify different options. For example, for a textbox input field, you may set these options:
ID or Name, Label text, Placeholder, Help text, is the textbox required or not, and input size with five options.
Similarly, selecting a button component from the buttons tab allows setting these options after dropping in the form area:
Button ID/Name, button text which is visible to the users, button label and its type. The types are based at bootstrap built-in classes like danger, info, success etc.

After creating a form by using the form builder, simply click on the View HTML tab to get the form’s code.
A Bootstrap form builder from formden.com
The second form builder in the list is from the formden.com. It allows creating one form free of cost. The form builder tool generates HTML that is validated.
You may add new fields like Name, email, subject, message, single line text, select dropdowns, buttons, radio buttons etc. The edit field section allows setting the attributes like required or not, placeholder etc. for the textbox. Similarly, for a dropdown, you may set the title, id/name, and options by using the settings tab.
After creating and previewing the form, pressing the “Save and setup processing” will take you to the sign-up page. Follow the steps and get the validated code that you may use in any website.

A simple form builder with CSS option
The form builder from francescomalagrino.com is more like the first form builder in the list. In addition to drag and drop the components, it has a CSS tab as well where you may select different options.
It has tabs for adding HTML elements like input fields, radio buttons and checkboxes, select dropdowns, buttons etc.
Just drag and drop an element in the “Your Form” area and set different options/attributes for each field. The underlying code will render automatically.
After completing the form, just take the code from “Rendered” tab and paste it at your webpage where you want to use that form.
The code should be neat and clean, so if you need to change it manually at a later stage, you may do it easily.
