Get PZPlusForms Try It Free

PeakZebra gives you fields for building forms. The forms send you data from your visitors, or you can store it in business-oriented tables that PZPlusForms builds for you.

Who can use it? Anyone you say can use it.
No per-seat cost spirals.

And no platform risk. It runs on
your WordPress site.

Sound like an revenue opportunity for your agency? Well, yeah. It is.

A "basic information" form for "Hugh Person"

We start with some basic forms…

PZForms comes with block components that let you build sophisticated forms. These forms work like other forms in the WordPress ecosystem–the data from each form submission is forwarded to the email destination of your choice.

Oh, and each form is a WordPress “block,” so you can insert copies of this form wherever you need them on your site.

PZPlusForms, the premium version, gives you far more power…

With the “Plus” version of the package, you get access to an underlying business database–and suddenly you can tie each field in a form to a table and field inside PeakZebra.

Customize your website visitor experiences based on segmentation

One great use of PZPlusForms is asking users specific questions that indicate what subgroup of your users they best fit into.

Once you’ve got a segment assigned for a given user, you can use the pzIfThen blocks to display variations on any page’s content based on the current user’s segment.

Coming in late April ’25: Display your data in modern, interactive data grids…

Lightning fast refresh as you scroll through your data. Sort by clicking column headers. Drag columns into the order of your choice. You can even edit rows in place.

Starting to sound like we’re building applications?

Not exactly. No, you’re building applications.

If all you need are forms and grids, then you’ve got “Airtable-style” applications without AirTable’s per-user pricing gotcha.

Need more complex interactions? Remember you can easily customize what happens when forms are submitted with only a little PHP code (we provide lots of samples).

Answers for your questions…

PeakZebra is the company behind PZPlusForms (and the free version PZForms). While PZPlusForms is new, PeakZebra has been churning out custom-coded WordPress blocks since 2020. PeakZebra is based just outside Philadelphia and is proud to be well dug in to the Open Source Software world. The company is run by founder Robert Richardson.

With many of the web-based tools that let you cobble together internal applications, you are trapped if they make changes (big price jumps, going out of business) you can’t live with. Maybe you can download the data, but the application is lost. With PeakZebra, you’re running on your own WordPress system and whatever you build is yours to keep. If you let your license with PeakZebra lapse, you’ll no longer have access to our tools and interface, but the setup is such that any reasonably skilled WordPress developer should have no trouble making further modifications. With PeakZebra, we have to continue earning your support because, ultimately, you’ve got other options.

WordPress is by far the most-used software for running websites across the internet, with some 40% of the global share of sites. And it’s free. And you can learn lots more about it at WordPress.org.

There is a free version of just the form building blocks, call PZForms. You can download it here or, one of these days when the volunteers catch up with their backlog, on the WordPress.org repository (we’re stranded midway through the approval process).

Not just tables, no. This is part of what differentiates it from options like Google Sheets or Airtable (or, to a lesser degree, Notion). PeakZebra has form pages that look like real applications. It can enforce specific workflows if you want. And you can get it customized to do just about anything you might need.

Glad you asked. PeakZebra software is secure as long as the WordPress installation you’re running your site on is secure. PeakZebra does all the right things when it comes to verifying and cleaning up user input so that it can’t do malicious things. We do smart things to provide guardrails for site owners who decide to write code to process their form data in customized ways. And interactions between fields, forms, and the server all use WordPress “nonces” to ensure that only the current user and session can submit a form.

Straight out of the box, WordPress is fairly secure, but there are lots of things that can be done to really harden a site. It’s outside the scope of this FAQ, but there are lots of guides online for this.

Hi, I’m Robert…

PeakZebra is dedicated to helping you build cool, React-based applications on WordPress systems. And you can customize the application’s performance on the front end using server-based PHP. Because, yes, it’s done using blocks, the key part of the “new era” of WordPress. Blocks make sense for a lot of reasons, including that:

  • They fit seamlessly into the normal content creation workflow
  • They are inherently “drag-and-drop” — for a no-code experience
  • They are the native WordPress editor and working with blocks makes you “future proof.”

I highly recommend!

The approach PeakZebra takes to website development is quite innovative. I chose a template that had general characteristics that appealed to me, and then PeakZebra
tailored that site specifically to my business, based upon my input. The process was very efficient – I’ve never had such a simple, smooth experience with the development of my website. The cost was quite reasonable, and the time it took PeakZebra to have me up and running was quicker than any other site I have ever had developed.

The result was a very creative, professional site. I highly recommend PeakZebra for your website needs
