A more polished formMill

We've been spending the last few days tightening the little things — the parts you use all the time, but probably didn't notice.

Product update · September 2026 · 3 min read

What's changed

The last few days have been less about launching one giant feature and more about making formMill feel premium. We've rebuilt parts of the workspace experience, simplified several everyday screens, introduced regional pricing in India, and started pushing the new Design Panel further.

Some of these changes are easy to notice. Others are the sort of thing you only appreciate after using the product for a while.

Workspaces, rebuilt around how teams actually work

We didn't want Workspace to feel like a place where you just view and edit forms. In formMill, workspace forms were already fully collaborative — teammates could edit forms and work with them just like individual forms.

But there was an awkward part: Pro capabilities were still guarded when a Free teammate entered a Pro workspace. That made less sense the more we thought about it. If the workspace owner has access to a feature, why should the same workspace suddenly behave differently for a teammate working on that form?

So we changed the logic. Now, when you're working with a Pro-owned workspace, teammates can use the workspace's forms with the same feature access as the Pro workspace owner — including the available analytics and Pro functionality.

We also gave the workspace itself a visual refresh. The old grey workspace pill badges have been replaced with a softer sky-blue treatment, making workspace-related UI feel lighter.

Design Panel is still getting better

The newly introduced Design Panel isn't done yet. We're continuing to expand the design system so forms can feel more like something you designed rather than something you simply filled in.

More fonts and more banners are coming soon. We're also working on a Custom Thank You Message feature, so the experience after someone submits a form can eventually be tailored to the form itself.

You might also see Banner Pages — an optional page that appears before the form, giving you a place to explain what the form is about before someone starts filling it out. You can toggle it on whenever you need it.

The Design Panel is becoming a larger part of how formMill thinks about customization, so expect this area to keep evolving and getting better.

A much simpler after-submit experience

We stripped the default thank-you page back to what actually matters: a clear success state, a short message, and one quiet next step.

The result is a cleaner ending to the form — less interface, more breathing room, and no unnecessary information competing with the confirmation itself.

And this is only the beginning. The upcoming Custom Thank You Message feature will give creators much more control over this final moment.

Regional pricing for India

formMill is also introducing regional pricing for customers in India. Instead of showing the standard global $25/month Pro price, users and customers in India will see ₹649/month.

We wanted the price to make much more sense in the local market while keeping the same feature-packed Pro experience. At ₹649/month, formMill is the most affordable feature-packed form builder for customers in India — even compared with Indian-built alternatives like Zoho.

Small details, big difference

We also bundled a bunch of smaller UI changes that don't need their own announcement, but make formMill feel noticeably better when you use it.

  • Simplified and reduced the loading spinner.
  • Made the form-not-found state cleaner and quieter.
  • Simplified the "Made with formMill" watermark.
  • Reduced visual clutter across existing screens.
  • Refined spacing, hierarchy, and empty states in places that felt heavier than they needed to.

None of these changes are huge on their own. Together, they raise the baseline of the whole product.


The idea behind this update

We're increasingly interested in the difference between a feature that works and a feature that feels finished.

💡

So this time, we didn't try to add another giant button to the dashboard. We looked at the small moments people encounter repeatedly and asked: can this be simpler?

And we're not done yet 🎋

The Design Panel is continuing to grow, with fonts and more banners on the way. Custom Thank You Messages are also underway. Meanwhile, we're continuing to refine the everyday parts of formMill so the whole product feels more cohesive with every update.

This release is about the little things. The next one might be.....IDK
