How I Learned About JotForm

I discovered JotForm while helping a client set up a page on their website to collect resumes. My client can now easily obtain job seeker information, including a resume via file upload, and receive an email notification when it happens.

How JotForm Can Save You Money

When I discovered JotForm, my client was using Weebly as their web host. Although Weebly is great and I recommend it, in order to allow file uploads in a form, the client would have needed to pay for a more costly hosting plan.

JotForm offers a FREE Starter plan that may be able to save you money, especially if you don't want to pay a higher web hosting fee or your web host simply doesn't have the advanced form features you need.
