Hi there. Here’s the plan:
Folks go to the home page, there is a small form they fill out: name, email, address, etc
After they fill this out, it take them to a separate page that is hidden on the site.
There then is another form they can fill out, 4 different forms actually, because they have 4 different things to choose from.
The name, email, address, etc is already automatically filled in from their first answer on the home page.
How can I do this? Will this work?
Yes. You can do that. There would be multiple approaches you could take. Setup one or more databases. Have the first form submit button redirect to the hidden page and grab the recently posted information when you arrive at that page.
How do you set up one or more databases?
Go into the editor for your site and add (click the “+”) and select Database. Once you have done that will will add all of the database features to your site. If you are new to databases, you may want to get someone to help you do it. The learning curve on setting up databases can be steep. But, if you are familiar with other database technologies, the Wix database system is pretty easy to use and figure out.
For creating a form then just follow this tutorial.
