This checklist will help you check that your Databank forms are being used effectively on your website. While there are several different kinds of forms which can be used on your website the most commonly used ones are donation and sign up forms.
Donation Forms
- Do you have a big Donate button on your home page? Make sure you have more than just a text link or a tiny Donate button that isn’t quickly noticeable.
- Does it link directly to your Donation Page? With the Form Builder tool, you can easily make as many custom donation forms as you need, and they will all put the information directly into your Databank. Make sure you have a Payment Gateway Partner set up as well.
- Is this Donation Page branded for your organization? There are two different ways to brand your pages: thedatabank Support Staff can “skin” or create an HTML template for you or you can upload your form into an iframe. For either of these options, you can contact clientsupport@thedatabank.com for help branding your forms.
