This is not about how to use Google Forms. It is about how to use a Google form in your club website. Or, more accurately, with your club website.
You can embed a Google form in a website page using an iframe. I recommend that you do not do that. Instead, simply link to the form or use a button to access it (see How to Shorten Google Forms URLs).
Why not embed? All the reasons below are especially true for the demographic you serve:
- It makes the form smaller and harder to read
- It can make the form require scrolling...some users never get to the submit button
- It's hard to get the iframe sized correctly (as soon as you think you do, you'll make a change to the form and oops...)
- All the above are bad enough on a computer screen, they are much worse on a smartphone screen
- And, there can be cross-domain issues, including but not limited to episodically arousing the ire of intrusive and befuddling reCAPTCHA
We started out using an embedded Google form for lunch reservations for our monthly meetings. Our members often ran into snags which they usually could only describe as "it didn't work." When we changed to accessing the form directly, the number of cries for help plummeted.
