Everest Forms is Built for people who want a no-code experience
Stop wrestling with shortcodes and missed submissions. Start building forms you can trust.
Visual drag-and-drop builder
Build any form by dragging fields into position. See your layout update in real time — no shortcodes, no preview step, no syntax to learn.
Built-in entry management
Every submission is saved to your WordPress database automatically. View, search, filter, and export entries — no Flamingo plugin required.
Spam protection included
Honeypot and Google reCAPTCHA v2/v3 are included on the free plan. No separate anti-spam plugin or third-party account needed.
Conditional logic
Show or hide fields based on previous answers. Build adaptive forms with a point-and-click rule editor — no JavaScript. (Pro)
Email marketing integrations
Connect to Mailchimp, ConvertKit, ActiveCampaign, and others. Route submissions directly into your lists without custom code. (Pro)
Page builder compatible
Embeds in Gutenberg, Elementor, Divi, Beaver Builder, and WPBakery via a dedicated block or widget. Works with every major theme. (Free)
A complete form system, not just a builder
Contact Form 7 needs Flamingo for storage, SMTP plugins for email, and third-party add-ons for integrations.
Everest Forms ships it all together.
Visual form building
Contact Form 7 builds forms using shortcodes and HTML-like markup. Everest Forms uses a drag-and-drop canvas where every change renders immediately — no syntax to learn, no preview step required.
- Drag-and-drop interface with real-time preview
- No shortcodes or markup required
- Easy for beginners and non-developers
- Available free — no plan required
Who is Everest Forms built for?
From solo bloggers to agencies managing dozens of client sites — any WordPress site can run beautiful, reliable forms.
Site owners and bloggers
You need a working contact form without editing markup or managing extra plugins. The visual builder handles layout; entries go straight to your WordPress dashboard.
Agencies and freelancers
Build and hand off client forms without leaving behind a plugin stack to maintain. One plugin handles forms, entries, and notifications across all sites.
Small businesses
Forms that connect to your email tool, CRM, or payment gateway. Everest Forms integrations route submissions into your existing workflow without custom code.
Developers
You still get shortcode and block embed options. But your clients get a visual interface to manage their own forms — without calling you every time a field needs updating.

From install to published form in under 10 minutes
Everest Forms is built for WordPress, not developers. No shortcodes, no PHP, no configuration files.
Install the plugin
Search "Everest Forms" in the WordPress plugin directory and activate. No account, no API keys, no setup wizard required.
Drag your fields into place
Open the visual builder and drag text, email, dropdown, file upload, and 20+ other fields into your form. The layout updates in real time.
Configure notifications
Set admin email alerts and auto-responders from the form settings panel. Entries also save to WordPress automatically — email is a notification layer, not the only record.
Publish and go live
Add the form to any page using the Gutenberg block, Elementor widget, or shortcode. Submissions land in your entries dashboard immediately — no exports needed.
Keep your forms. Keep your entries. Keep your settings.
The reason most people hesitate to switch isn't the price — it's the fear of rebuilding weeks of form work. Everest Forms imports your existing forms, field configuration, and entries so nothing gets lost in the move.
Import in one click.
The migration tool ships in every Everest Forms plan, including the free version on WordPress.org. Install Everest Forms alongside your current plugin, export your forms as JSON, and import them with full field configuration intact — in batches, so large sets don't time out.
