No matter how good you think your security is.

I haven't actually tested this yet, but I'm pretty sure it will. You may need to add some additional CSS to style your form fields properly for the mobile version of your site.

I have to honestly say that whenever someone is promoting something and is also an affiliate it greatly diminishes the value of the testimonial. I've used cForms for several years. The developer is incredibly responsive and cForms is free although donations are gratefully accepted by the developer.I've made several donations since cForms has been so valuable to me. Now when I look at Gravity Forms and some of the limitations you've mentioned, such as lack of multi-page forms, I immediately ask myself why I would pay $199 for a developer license when I can use cForms for free. cForms is amazingly powerful, even more so than Gravity Forms. cForms may not have quite as slick an interface but that does not bother me in the least. Does Gravity Forms let you put a form in a sidebar using a widget? cForms does. Can Gravity Froms send you a non-html formatted email? cForms can. Can Gravity Forms allow you to set multiple styles for different forms? cForms can. Look, I'm not saying Gravity Forms isn't a good tool, but the price is ridiculous. Seriously. $199 for a plugin that is a one-trick pony? I've got full-blown applications that cost way less than the GF plugin. I develop websites and for my money, cForms is a far better deal. Yes, I'm entitled to my opinion and I recognize that there are many people who will disagree with me... especially affiliates of Gravity Forms. Check out cForms guys before you plunk down your hard-earned money for GF. And then donate some money to the developer of cForms once you discover how much it does... for free.
