Quask Launches Free Edition of FormArtist

London, UK, 26th July 2004

Quask, a leading provider of web-based forms and survey software, announced today the launch of a Free version of its award winning web forms and survey software. FormArtist is a desktop software package that enables users to rapidly create and publish web and e-mail based forms, surveys, e-brochures and opinion polls, without any technical knowledge or programming abilities. The new Free version is a fully functional product with no limitations, and used to be the FormArtist Presto edition which retailed for $49.

The FormArtist range of products comprises FormArtist Free Edition, FormArtist Standard ($199), FormArtist Professional ($899), with an Enterprise version available. The Free Edition is perfect for designing forms and simple surveys that can pop-up or be embedded into web pages. It allows users to create powerful and attractive online forms and surveys in minutes, saving hours of development time. Full validation and scripting capabilities are incorporated, and response data is collected by email. For users who require data to be collected in a database for analysis or export, the Standard, Professional and Enterprise versions offer full database functionality.

Freddy May, CEO of Quask, explains “With the launch of the Free Edition, users will be able to see for themselves just how easy it is to design their own online forms and surveys, and how good the results can be, without having to make any financial investment. We believe that they will like what they see so much that they'll want to upgrade and benefit from the added functionality offered by the more advanced products.”

About FormArtist
FormArtist offers a unique way of collecting data both online and offline. Creating forms with FormArtist is extremely straightforward due to its powerpoint like WYSIWYG and drag-and-drop interface, and its pre-defined style sheets. This enables forms and surveys to be created in a matter of minutes, allowing users to benefit from hugely reduced production times. FormArtist incorporates a comprehensive library of data collection objects, picture grids and form design features allowing users to create highly attractive, visually rich forms that encourage high response rates.

Online forms and surveys can be published to any web server, and are deployed by email, link to a ‘pop-up' window or embedded in a company's web page. In addition, forms and surveys can be completed without an Internet connection, with FormArtist's ‘Offline Form Manager' module. With this capability, forms can be distributed via email, on CD, or as a file for completion offline. Intelligence can be built into surveys and forms using either a simple dialog-driven script manager or by writing JavaScript to interact directly with the form, allowing page-skipping, custom validations and other logic to be incorporated. FormArtist supports Excel, HTML, CSV, SPSS, Snap, ODBC, and other formats for data analysis.
