New Web form validator protects websites without difficult submission process
Website owners now have access to advanced spam-blocking validation without sacrificing user experience. Hook Forms has launched a backend Web form validation service which identifies and blocks spam submissions that often contain dangerous links to malware.
The solution analyzes user and content attributes during the Web form submission process in order to determine which submissions are legitimate. This process has potential to displace the current standard of CAPTCHA, which requires users to transcribe text from an image or select images from a set based on common elements.
“We spend an incredible amount of time and resources on the Internet today; and yet we still require visitors to go the extra mile in proving who they say they are, just to contact us,” said Hook Forms Founder Logan Thompson on the solution. “Hook Forms revisits one of the basic Internet components to make it more human and effective."
Thompson and his brother, Bryan Thompson, developed Hook Forms after identifying the need for a more user-friendly experience when using one of the Internet’s most rudimentary tools. The two are experienced Web and software developers who designed Hook Forms to easily fit any design and site type.
“We designed the integration process to be as simple as possible for everyone involved – the designer, the tech team and, most importantly, the person submitting the form,” added Thompson.
While user experience is the most immediately recognizable feature in Hook Forms, perhaps the most valuable lies in security. Spam form submissions are often riddled with links to malware, which can infiltrate a company’s systems and leave sensitive data such as customer or payment information vulnerable. Hook Forms prevents these links from submission and keeps its mix of security layers hidden from plain sight, making it difficult for spammers to find workarounds.
Hook Forms has completed a beta user period and is now openly available for website owners to use, with pricing options for independent developers, Web development agencies and site owners. Hook Forms also offers enterprise-level packages for larger submission volumes. For more information, visit https://hookforms.com.
