You will need to install MachForm on your web server. </p> https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/can-i-install-and-create-forms-locally#post-1256 Tue, 01 Apr 2008 04:41:17 +0000 mojoesque 1256@https://www.machform.com/forums/ <p>Hello. I'm looking for a solution for easily creating html forms. i'm an experienced designer and i know my way around html and css, i just don't have time to learn php or another language to create forms. i found the MachForm product through a search, and it's got everything i'm looking for: great looking forms with a full-featured build tool, modern valid code and it creates css so i can modify for my sites, etc. i was getting ready to order when i started reading about installation. does this software need to be installed and run on a web server to work properly? what i'm really looking for is a standalone app that i can run locally to create the html/css/php etc. files and then easily integrate that code into my client's sites. this is what i do now with a program called Coffee Cup Form Builder, but that app creates the forms in Flash which i do not want. suggestions? </p>
