STEP 1
Start by creating your form with Formester’s AI form builder. Once your form is ready, open it in the builder to start styling.
STEP 2
Click on the Design tab at the top of the builder. This is where all styling options, including custom CSS, are located.
STEP 3
Scroll down to the Custom CSS section and click the CSS Selector Mode icon. This mode lets you target specific elements or the entire form for styling.
STEP 4
Full Form Container: Hover over the form to edit CSS that applies to the whole form.
Individual Elements: Hover over a specific field, title, button, or section to see two options:
Add Class Selector: Styles all elements of that type in your form.
Add Individual Selector: Styles only that specific element.
STEP 5
Once your element is selected, open the script editor. Here you can call existing CSS functions or write your own to update colors, fonts, spacing, animations, and other styling.
STEP 6
Check your form in preview mode to make sure styles look perfect on desktop and mobile. When satisfied, save and publish your form to go live.
USER TESTIMONIALS
Great software system. Very intuitive and looks absolutely great. Most importantly, I requested features… and the features were implemented within hours. Stellar support that is hands-down better than others. I highly suggest you use Formester… you’re not going to find that with the competition.
We have been in business for over thirty years and were never happy with our forms until we found Formester. Now, we have clients actually enjoying completing and submitting online forms. If you are looking for a platform to create online forms... look no further – Formester is the best. Your clients will thank you!
Formester is simple enough for non-developers and sophisticated enough for developers. I'd say being able to choose between simplicity and complexity is one of this product's strengths. In addition, the founder is available to answer questions and doubts, which does not happen every day.

Formester is really easy to use and an exceptional alternative for Typeform. We use it for call for papers, lead registrations, feedback and surveys and it cannot be simpler.

I use Formester for my form-building needs and I’m thoroughly impressed. The platform is rich with features… What really sets them apart is their exceptional customer service (responses typically within 10 minutes). The pricing is also very reasonable… Highly recommended!
Went through many form builders for my lead gen company and I will say it is by far the most affordable and customizable form I have found!! 10/10
