As you fill out the forms the different sections and individual questions will fade out and slide to the next content block you added. Creating forms are super simple when using Typeform, just name a new form, build it and publish it. Once you have named your form and you are in the form builder, drag and drop a new welcome screen. Your welcome screen will be the first page your users will see and is best used for a branding effect. The other editing screens and tools will work just as good and almost the same way the welcome screen editor works. After you are all finished building your form content you can now go into the step of designing the form. There are three simple options of design: color, font and background image. You can tweak your form further by customizing the color of all the different content types like questions, titles, answers and backgrounds. You can even choose from color palettes that the people over at Typeform prepared nicely for us. With Typeform, you can also customize your fonts and your backgrounds. Choose from pre-made background images or upload your own with the background uploader.
