Hey all,
Yesterday we ran our first ever live typeform tuning session. Our panel of form masters got together to revamp some of the typeforms you, the community, submitted to us for review. The idea was to provide education and inspiration to help you all build better. more successful forms.
If you missed the session, or if you'd like to watch it again you can do so in the video below. You can grab a copy of the slide deck here.
What did we cover?
Our expert panel consisted of Typeform stalwarts
The panelists shared their secrets of form-building success as they went to work on four different forms – showing you how you can get the most of Typeform's features, and highlighting some important best practices. Here's a breakdown of what got tuned, complete with before and after shots:
