# Quick Start

This guide walks you through creating your first form with Forms Plugin. By the end, you'll have a working form component placed on your Framer canvas, ready to customize.

## The Home Screen

When you open Forms Plugin, you land on the **home screen**. This is your starting point for everything in the plugin.

## Option A: Create a Form from Scratch

1. On the home screen, click **Create New Form**
2. A `single-step-form` component is inserted directly onto your Framer canvas
3. The form is now selected in the canvas - you can resize and reposition it like any other Framer element
4. Use the **Fields** section in the plugin to browse and add field types to your form

<Tip>
  Start with a blank form when you need full control over every field and layout. This is the best option for custom designs.
</Tip>

## Option B: Start from a Template

Templates let you skip the setup and launch with a professionally designed form:

1. On the home screen, click **Templates**
2. Browse the form template library - use the search bar to filter by name
3. Click a template card to see a preview
4. Click **Insert Template** to add it directly to your canvas

Some templates are marked with a **Pro** or **Scale** badge, which means they require a paid plan to insert. See [Plans & Pricing](/plans/overview) for details.

## Add Fields to Your Form

Once a form is on the canvas:

1. Click **Fields** on the home screen (or from the plugin navigation)
2. Browse the **Basic**, **Advanced**, or **CAPTCHA** tabs
3. Click a field to add it to your form

See [Form Fields](/creating-forms/form-fields) for a full overview of the Fields page.
