Form Validation: Building the trust with Accurate Data

When it comes to your cost calculator, precise information from users is key to generating dependable estimates. The Cost Calculator Builder offers a helpful feature called form validation. It allows you to set guidelines for how users enter their information. This ensures they provide data in the right format, preventing errors and keeping your calculations on point. Let's explore the different validation options available for common fields like name, email, website URL, and phone number. By using these tools, you can build a cost calculator that not only delivers reliable estimates but also fosters user confidence by ensuring a smooth experience.

Validation Types for Common Fields

The Cost Calculator Builder offers a range of validation options to suit different field types. Here's how you can leverage them for some commonly used form fields:

Name Field Validation

For the Name field, users are supposed to consider using a text input with validation to ensure only alphabetical characters are entered.

To integrate the validated form into your webpage, simply use the drag-and-drop feature to move the form element to the desired location.
