We also added four pre-defined styles template that you can just select and pre-defined css will be added applied realtime. If you choose custom design then the styler will show the style elements based on your form’s available styles and you and you can design the form elements fro the style controls.
For an example, If you add net promoter score field then you can see settings for net promoter score style settings.
We have covered the following style elements and each element have all the controls that you need to customize the form.

Each style have all the css properties like: color, background color, typography, box-shadow etc.
How heavy this styles?
Short Answer: It will not slow down your page or form.
From the very fist, Speed and edge of use is our top priority and that’s the reason Fluent Forms is the fastest form builder. We want to keep it this way and we will never over-bloated this, no matter how much feature we add. As you already noticed, We only load the style controls that is available on your selected form and when you hit save button we generate only the required css for the form and cache that css serve that only when your form load in a page. Pre-defined style will load only less than ~4KB and if you choose advanced style it will load similar or less.
Net Promoter Score(Input Fields)
What is NPS? Net Promoter Score is customer loyalty and satisfaction measurement which is taken from the customer by asking about how likely they are to recommend your product or service to others on a scale of 0 to 10.
Why it is important? Net Promoter Score can be used as a predictor of business growth. When your score is high (or, at least, higher than the average), you know that you have a healthy relationship with your customers who are likely to act as evangelists for the brand, fuel word of mouth, and generate a positive growth cycle.

This is the basic design of the Net Promoter input field.
Survey Result
What and Why? Survey is a method of getting users/customers feedback to help a company to measure satisfaction and gauge expectations. Most of the users/customers don’t bother to complain, adding a survey form is an excellent way to measure their expectations regarding the service or products.
Survey Results in WP Fluent Forms:
You can easily show the survey results to the users after each submission. The survey results will be generated by the values of the checkbox, radio, and net promoter fields.
Platform.ly
What is? Platform.ly is a suite of tools for multi-channel marketing automation. From capturing and nurturing leads to turning them into customers and raving brand advocates, Platform.ly provides everything you need to build and grow a successful online business.
