Step by Step | Embedding Google Forms on School Websites and Staying on Brand
Creating a Google Form and embedding it into your K12Press WordPress site can greatly enhance your ability to gather and display information dynamically, such as survey results. Below is a step-by-step guide based on the comprehensive tutorial provided in the video.
Step 1: Create Your Google Form
- Start by designing your Google Form to collect the data you need. Pay attention to making your form visually appealing and on-brand by utilizing the theme customization options (like changing fonts and adding a header image).
Step 2: Customize Your Form’s Appearance
- Use the theme options to match your school’s branding, ensuring a seamless integration into your website. This might include setting brand colors and uploading a relevant header image.
Step 3: Embedding the Form into Your Website
- Once your form is ready, use the ‘Send’ button in Google Forms to access the embedding option, marked by the “<>” icon.
- Adjust the width and height settings in the embed code to ensure the form fits well within your website’s design, avoiding unnecessary scrolling within the embedded form.
Step 4: Add the Embed Code to Your Website
- On your K12Press site, choose the page where you want the form to appear. Paste the embed code into a text module, making sure to switch from the ‘Visual’ to the ‘Text’ tab to ensure the code is interpreted correctly.
Step 5: Test and Adjust
- After embedding the form, preview your webpage to ensure the form displays correctly, making any necessary adjustments to the form’s height and width to fit the website’s layout.
Step 6: Utilize Data Dynamically
- The tutorial also hints at advanced uses of Google Forms data, such as integrating survey results into live-updating graphs on your website. This is achieved by linking Google Forms responses to Google Sheets and then embedding graphs created from that data onto your site.
Embedding Google Forms into your K12Press website not only enhances interaction with your audience but also maintains brand consistency across your digital platforms. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of aesthetics in form creation and strategic embedding to ensure a smooth user experience.
