MVC forms

With Sitefinity CMS version 14.1 onwards, you have the option to use MVC forms or .NET Core forms. The following section summarizes the MVC forms option. For information about using .NET Core forms, see Create forms.

MVC forms are part of ASP.NET MVC framework and are the recommended way to work with forms in Sitefinity CMS. MVC technology provides a modern, convention-based, mobile-first UI framework to quick and easy setup and design of forms and applications. Thanks to the MVC pattern, you can separate development into views, logic, and processing. For more information, see Develop with Sitefinity CMS and ASP.NET MVC.

• Customize the out-of-the-box form fields and elements by following the Feather conventions

With MVC forms, you can work with the API for RAPID development of custom form fields and elements by benefiting from the Sitefinity CMS MVC framework to build mobile-ready sites using frameworks of your choice.
