The "Pages Form" block lets you capture information from visitors who land on your page. Once the "Pages Form" block is added to your page layout, you can adjust its width, add form fields, adjust the form theme, adjust button styles, and more.
Like other blocks, you can add, edit, duplicate, and remove a "Form" block to any page or page template.
