I've used a few different extensions for creating forms on a Joomla! website, but honestly none compare to this one. After installation I didn't have any trouble creating my first custom form, and I love all the choice it gives you. Effortless forms that are created to fit in with the rest of your Joomla! template. I love it!
I wouldn't recommend anything else for anyone looking for a form extension. This one beats the others hands down!

I work with Joomla about 2 years, and I must to quickly create a simple form for ordering goods. Among the extensions I had to choose a long time, because Many of the designers forms are sufficiently consistent with my requirements.
I stopped my choice on the designer of Diom, and for good reason.
-very usable and easy to configure and manage the Form Designer.
- it's very simple but at the same time, sufficiently functional dynamical interface will work with the forms easier and enjoyable.
- competently composed video tutorial allows even novice users to solve its task within a few minutes.
Confused a little trouble in adapting to non-English language. I knew how to deal with such matters.

I needed a simple form that was easy to build and this fits the bill exactly.
I installed a different extension first that came well recommended, but I just could not work out how to use it and instructions were poor.
So I tried the Dione Form Wizard instead. The trial version gives just enough of a trial to know whether it's for you or not. It definitely fitted the bill for me and I had my form designed and online in no time at all.
Very happy with it and well worth $19. It has saved me heaps of time and I have a smart professional looking form on my website now.
I'm no coder but quite experienced at finding my way round Joomla. This extension is so intuitive that after I watched the video demos, I did not need to refer to any further instructions.

I'm running Joomla 1.6 & found this to be one of the better form creators & would be simple enough for my customers to use. I tested the demo & it installed okay, created the form with 3 elements, then two disappeared for no reason. Saved the form then went back to the admin to try and rework it again, only to find there is no link or no way you can re-edit any forms created. I can preview it, delete it but can't edit it again.
I sent an email to support about this, I even filled in a ticket at their web site...but as of yet there has been no reply...pity as this would have been idiot proof for a customer to use

Dear customer.
Thanks for your review.
We understand your frustration. This delay was related with technical problems on our server provider's side. We didn't receive any notification about your requests.
A big piece of your problems is related with limitations of the trial version. In this limited mode you cannot edit a form or form's customizations. This trial version can be used only to illustrate the work of this extension. On your other requests we will answer very shortly.
We apologize for this inconvenience.
Best regards,
DioneSoft
I think Dione have come a long way reading back on these reviews. I recently purchased this extension to implement on a clients website and couldnt believe how easy it is to create a form.
I ran into one or two issues and got in contact with the Support team which were just as INCREDIBLE as their product.
Very responsive, very professional and informative in assisting me. They even customized some of the options / coding for me which will now be updated in their frequent updates.
I can go on and on about this product and especially their support Team, Anatoly and Team well done, Dione form's will be the only forms used for iWebFolio's websites, thank you!

Thought it would be ideal for my website. I installed and got it running fast. But when I started making a fairly big form, the app would delete fields. The form it makes is still buggy and email support is not working. The most annoying thing is that when you add a new field it stacks to the top, so you end up making your form backwards. Try to contact support and I haven't received feedback so far.

Dear customer.
Thanks for your review. Apparently you didn't receive our letter with an information about a next release of this extension, that will be able to correct your problems. This release will be ready during one-two days. Now it is in pilot testing. We created a necessary ticket to know, why you didn't receive this information. But we guess, that this problem occured on our provider's side. We apologize for this inconvience.
Best regards,
DioneSoft

The first thing to notice I got another component (Sexy gallery) after buying the form wizard. Having said that I eventually got it (pretty fast - within a minute after mentioning), but what is it that you get. Nothing, you get the ability to design a form, but not the corresponding php on the background that actually does something with the form when submitting. So great I can make a form to do.... nothing with it. Furter on you cannot edit nor delete a form and finally after making one form I could not make a second. I don't think it can be worse, total waste of money. It's sooooooooooooooooo BAD.

Hello Peter. Thanks for your feedback.
We refunded your order immediately, when was received your letter. Any opinion of each user on our product is very important for us. Really, our component is intended more for creation of forms, instead of on creation of the form handler in the view of the PHP-code. But such possibility will be added in the next version of the product. Concerning your problems with creation only one form and impossibility of its removal, we think that this problem specific only for your environment. We are afflicted that you have not given the chance to us to help you with its solution.
Best regards,
Dione Soft Company
