This is a big step in the right direction. Thank you!
Is there a way to make the page more mobile responsive? I'm noticing in particular that the five button wide page requires either being zoomed out so far that the text boxes are teensy, or you can't see many of the suggested donation amounts. Thanks.
Thanks for the feedback, Aviva.
Glad you like the new form, we will take a look at your comments and see what can be done to fine tune the usability of the form.
Hi Aviva,
I looked into this further and it looks like the problem isn't the form, it's one of the templates being used. The template you have applied to that form does not include any of the responsive design elements.
I've created a new template for you and will be following up over email.
Cheers!
Hi Marcos! We're running into a similar issue on mobile devices as Aviva with our new Big Button form and I'm guessing the template is to blame. Which would be the best one to use for both mobile and desktop interface? Thank you!
Hi Stephanie,
I have not seen anything on your form which immediately identified itself as a problem. If you have specific requests or needs, please submit a support request and we will look into it further.
Thanks!
Marcos—thank you! That did the trick, and our new form is bea-u-ty-full. Thanks for the top on applying the new template to our other forms. It will make a big difference for us and our members.
Any possibility of including thank you gifts / premiums on the simple donate form?
I realize this might make the thank you gift area have to go through some redesign in how its handled...
but the simplicity of just having to just choose 1 segment for every donation option is easier to manage.
the current method of managing thank you gifts (at least in our case) can be somewhat time consuming.
