• Widget Forms – These forms can be added to your website’s sidebar or any other widget area that your theme supports.
• Popup Forms – These forms automatically “pop up” into view inside a lightbox. You can set how you would like the forms to show up, for example when the user clicks on a link or tries to leave your website.
