The Certified Developer Program
Gravity Forms boasts an impressive ecosystem of community add-ons, and we pride ourselves on working closely with our third-party developers who, over the years, have developed useful and dynamic plugins to extend and enhance Gravity Forms.
Last year, to further support our developer community, we launched the Certified Developer Program. This program has been designed to support and promote third-party developers and their premium add-ons, which ultimately enable our customers to do even more with Gravity Forms.
Our certified developers are trusted, long-term members of the Gravity Forms community, with track records for reliability, security, and support. And their certified add-ons provide extra features and functionality not available in the Gravity Forms plugin, enabling users to further enhance forms, solve niche problems, and create unique solutions.
If you are a third-party add-on developer, interested in finding out more about our Certified Developer program, please get in contact.
The Gravity Forms Roadmap
Here at Gravity Forms, we love to learn more about how people are using our product and what we can do to further support and align the plugin with the needs of our customers.
Through the Gravity Forms Roadmap, we encourage all our customers to have a say on features that are currently under consideration, as well submit a new idea or share your thoughts on other issues that you think would help make Gravity Forms an even better and more well-rounded product.
The Roadmap also aims for more transparency between Gravity Forms and our customers, letting you know what we are working on, what our priorities are, and to keep you up to date with what has been recently launched.
If there are features you would like us to implement, or improvements you would like us to make to the form builder to further support your work, let us know via the Roadmap.
