Create your first form and start collecting responses in just a few minutes.

<Note>
  **Before you begin**

  You have an OrbitForms account. [Sign up for free](https://orbitforms.ai/signup) if you don't.
</Note>

<Steps>
  <Step title="Create a new form">
    After signing in, navigate to the **Forms** page from the sidebar. Click the **Create Form** button to get started.

    ```
    Forms → Create Form
    ```

    You'll be prompted to choose between a **Standard Form** (all fields visible at once) or an **Orbit Flow** (one question at a time). You can always switch between these modes later.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add your fields">
    In the form editor, click **Add Field** to add questions to your form. OrbitForms supports many field types:

    * Text Input
    * Email
    * Phone
    * Number
    * Textarea
    * Select
    * Radio
    * Checkbox
    * Date
    * URL

    Each field can be customized with labels, placeholders, help text, and validation rules. Toggle the **Required** switch to make a field mandatory.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Customize your form">
    Click on **Settings** in the editor to customize your form's appearance:

    * **Primary Color** — Change the accent color to match your brand
    * **Logo** — Upload your company logo
    * **Background** — Choose from presets or use a custom color
    * **Thank You Message** — Customize what users see after submitting
  </Step>

  <Step title="Publish and share">
    When you're happy with your form, click **Publish** in the top right corner. Your form will be live at its unique URL:

    ```
    https://orbitforms.ai/r/{team-id}/your-form-slug
    ```

    You can also embed the form on your website using the embed code from the **Share** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="You're all set!">
    Congratulations! Your form is now live. As users submit responses, you'll see them in the **Submissions** tab on your form's dashboard.
  </Step>
</Steps>
