How do I put a form on my website, and start capturing leads?
You can use EBSuite's Form Builder to create a Web Form, for example a [ Contact Us ] form, or a [ Special Promo ] form, and put it on your website, so that when a visitor fills it out ,
he / she is created as a new Lead or Contact in your database.
