EmbedSheets turns an ordinary WordPress page into something people actually use. Build a quote calculator, a booking form, a multi-step survey or a pricing estimator in a visual drag-and-drop builder, then drop it onto any page, post or sidebar with a single shortcode. No code. No developer. No theme conflicts. Every form and calculator you make is responsive, fast, and styled to match your website. Answers, leads and orders are collected for you, and you can see them without leaving your WordPress dashboard. Start from a ready-made template instead of a blank page. Browse hundreds of free form and calculator templates and have a working version on your site in minutes. Why website owners choose EmbedSheets Most form plugins collect answers. EmbedSheets does something with them. A visitor types their roof size and sees their solar savings. They pick a service and see the price before they enquire. They answer six questions and get a personalised recommendation with their name on it. That is the difference between a contact form nobody fills in and a tool people share. Interactive results, not just a thank-you page. Show a figure, a table, a chart or a written recommendation the moment somebody answers. Multi-step forms with a progress bar. Long forms get abandoned. Six short steps do not. Real formulas, not simple sums. Percentages, tiered pricing, loan repayments, date maths and conditional logic – the kind of thing a spreadsheet does. Use your existing spreadsheet as the calculation engine. Already have the maths worked out in Excel or Google Sheets? Connect the spreadsheet instead of rebuilding it. Your answers are written into the cells you choose, your own formulas run exactly as they always have, and the results come back to the page. Years of spreadsheet work become a web calculator without rewriting a single formula. Conditional logic. Show a question, a whole step, or a result only when it is relevant. Every lead captured. Names, emails, answers and results, stored and exportable. PDF results, downloaded or emailed. Add a button and visitors save or print a PDF of their own figures. Or have it emailed automatically the moment they submit – to them, to you, or to both. Your own PDF design, from a Google Doc. Lay a quote, a report or a proposal out in Google Docs exactly as you want it, mark where each answer belongs, and connect it. Every visitor then receives that document filled in with their own details – properly branded, not a generic printout. Payments. Take a deposit or a full payment as part of the form. Exclusive features you will not find in an ordinary form plugin Live calculations as people type. Results update instantly – no page reload, no submit button needed. Charts and data tables built from the answers. Turn a repayment schedule or a cost breakdown into something readable. A formula builder for non-developers. Financial, date and logical functions, checked as you write them so a broken formula never reaches your visitors. Reusable variables. Set a tax rate or a markup once and use it everywhere. Change it in one place. Save-and-continue. Capture the lead partway through, before somebody abandons a long form. Design controls that match your brand. Colours, fonts, spacing, corners, shadows and layout – per element if you want it. Works on every screen. Choose a different layout for desktop, tablet and mobile. Unique widgets you can drop into any form These are the parts that turn a form into a tool: Google Maps – let people place a pin on their property or your service area. Google Distance – work out the distance or drive time between two addresses, and price the job from it. Google Reviews – show your real reviews inside the form, where they build trust. Payment Form – collect a deposit or a full payment. Appointment & Calendly – let people book a slot without leaving the page. Product Cards – show what you sell, with pictures and prices, and let people choose. Rating Card – collect a star rating or a satisfaction score. Image Choices & Button Choices – questions people answer by looking, not by reading a dropdown. Input Table – a small grid for quantities, rooms, or line items. File Upload – let people attach a photo, a plan or a document. Embed PDF, Video, Loom or any iframe – explain something in place, without sending anybody away. API Connector – pull a live figure from another service into your calculation. Image Slider, Address, Phone (international), Country, Date and Time – the fields a real enquiry needs. Bring the spreadsheet you already trust You do not have to choose between a spreadsheet and a website. If your pricing, quoting or eligibility logic already lives in Excel or Google Sheets, connect it and keep using it. Upload an Excel file to Google Drive, open it as a Google Sheet, and point the calculator at it. The spreadsheet stays the single source of truth: change a rate in the sheet and every calculator using it is updated, with nothing to republish. It suits the cases a simple form cannot reach – tiered pricing, lookup tables, regional rates, multi-year projections – because the work is already done and it is already correct. Send people away with something to keep An answer on screen is forgotten by the afternoon. A document is not. Let visitors download or print their results as a clean PDF, from a button you place wherever it makes sense. Email the PDF automatically when somebody submits, so the quote is in their inbox before they have closed the tab. Use your own design. Build the layout in Google Docs – your logo, your terms, your wording – and connect it as the template. Each PDF arrives personalised with that visitor’s answers and results. For a quote, an estimate or a proposal, this is the difference between an enquiry and a document somebody can take to a decision. Free calculator templates Every template below is free to use. Open one, make it yours, and put it on your website. Loan Repayment & Amortization Calculator – monthly payments with a full amortization schedule. Loan Repayment Estimator – a quick repayment figure for lenders and brokers. Solar Estimate & Lead Generation Calculator – system size, costs, incentives and 25-year savings. Roofing Cost Calculator – price a roof from area, pitch and materials. Paint Coverage Calculator – how much paint a room needs, and what it costs. Savings and ROI Calculator – show a customer what they get back. See all calculator templates Popular free form templates Contact Us Form Template – a short, clean contact form that works anywhere.

Blood Donor Screening Form – a four-step health screening questionnaire. Football Team Registration Form – sign players up for a season. Dance Class Registration Form – classes, times and partner details. Guest List Signup Form – collect names for an event. Guest List Form with Image Layout – the same, with a photo beside it. See all form templates Who it is for Trades and home services – roofers, solar installers, painters, builders: quote a job before the phone call. Finance and property – brokers, lenders, agents: repayments, affordability and returns. Clinics and practices – bookings, intake forms and screening questionnaires. Agencies and consultants – pricing estimators that qualify a lead while it is still warm. Schools, clubs and events – registrations, surveys and guest lists. Online shops – configurators, delivery pricing and made-to-measure quotes. How it works 1. Build it. Open the visual builder, start from a template or a blank page, and drag in the questions and results you want. 2. Make it yours. Change the wording, the colours and the maths. See exactly what a visitor will see as you work. 3. Add it to WordPress. Copy the shortcode and paste it into any page, post or widget area. That is the whole installation. Need a hand at any point?
