Generally speaking, using a Google Form will require your users to go to another page that isn&#8217;t part of your website. This is fine for many types of forms, but may not be ideal for frequently used forms that are higher profile. Examples might include a form to request more information about a program or to RSVP for a major alumni event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More highly styled blocks are available to collect email signups and to encourage online gifts. These blocks are specially designed for these use cases and are generally a better option than a standard Form block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need help?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Have questions?
