IvyForms 2025 Recap: From First Form to Pro Power

2025 was a year of firsts, discoveries, and growth for IvyForms and what a journey it has been.

It all began with a simple idea: to create a WordPress form builder that was intuitive, powerful, and fun to use. Back in June, we released our first MVP, and from that moment on, the plugin started finding its place in the hands of users who needed forms that just work without endless complications.

Over the months, we learned, iterated, and listened and we can honestly say that this year’s journey is more than a list of updates or features. It’s about the stories behind each form created, the trust our early adopters placed in us, and the excitement of seeing a small idea grow into something that can truly make a difference in the WordPress ecosystem.

Let’s look back at everything that made 2025 unforgettable for IvyForms and see what lies ahead in 2026.

Building IvyForms: From MVP to Pro

Every product has a beginning, and IvyForms started with a small but ambitious goal: to make form creation simple, intuitive, and flexible without sacrificing the power that WordPress professionals need.

In June 2025, we released our first MVP. It was lean, focused, and a little rough around the edges, but it had heart. From that moment, we began a conversation with our users. Every bug report, every feature request, every “wow, this actually works!” helped shape the next step.

Over the months, our IvyForms Lite version got 10 updates, each one refining the experience, improving stability, and making the plugin easier to use. And then came a major milestone: the first Pro version, which added advanced features like:

• Conditional logic – letting forms respond intelligently to user input
• Pro templates – ready-to-use forms for different scenarios
• Password & signature fields – for secure data capture and legal compliance

In 2025, we listened, learned, and grew together with our early users, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

First Users & Early Success

One of the most exciting moments of 2025 was welcoming our first IvyForms Pro users. There’s nothing quite like seeing someone put your product to work for their own business, website, or project—it’s a mix of pride, curiosity, and motivation all at once.

We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined us on this early journey. Not only did your trust, feedback, and enthusiasm help IvyForms grow, but they also reminded our team why we started this product in the first place: to empower creators, developers, and businesses to do more with less friction.

Seeing forms go live, submissions come in, and workflows get smoother are the moments that make all the late nights and iterations worthwhile. And for that, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who’s been part of the story so far.

Key Features We’ve Delivered in 2025

As IvyForms grew throughout 2025, our focus was always on making form building easier, faster, and smarter for every type of user. Every feature we added was inspired by real needs, whether from our team’s own experience or from early feedback from users just like you.

Here’s what we’ve built so far:

• Drag & drop: Because creating forms shouldn’t feel like coding. Just drag, drop, and go.
• Ready-to-use form templates: To help you jumpstart your project with templates designed for common use cases.
• 10+ form fields: From simple text to advanced fields, giving you full flexibility.
• Conditional logic: Make your forms smarter and easier to use.
• Embedded forms: Seamlessly integrate forms into your site, wherever you need them.
• Form submission confirmation & notifications: Keep users informed and stay on top of submissions.
• Spam protection: Protect your forms from unwanted entries without extra hassle.
• Entry management & easy form filtering: Organize, view, and manage submissions effortlessly.
• Mobile-friendly forms: Forms that look great and work flawlessly on any device.
• Dark/light mode: Match your site’s style while keeping the backend sleek and easy to use.
• Live form preview: See changes in real-time before publishing.

Each of IvyForm features represents a solution to a challenge we’ve seen users face. Together, they turn IvyForms from a simple form builder into a tool that can handle everything from basic contact forms to complex workflows for agencies, businesses, and developers.

Integrations: Expanding the Ecosystem

From the very beginning, we knew IvyForms wouldn’t exist in isolation. Forms are just the start and real value comes when they connect to the tools you already use every day.

In 2025, we launched the first key integrations:

• wpDataTables integration – Automatically turn form submissions into interactive tables. No more manual imports; your data is ready to analyze and display instantly.
• Mailchimp integration – Collect subscribers, automate campaigns, and keep your email marketing in sync with form submissions.

These integrations are just the start. We’re building IvyForms to be part of a seamless workflow, giving users the flexibility to connect with other tools without extra effort.

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re planning even more integrations:

• Amelia integration – Sync bookings and registrations with forms effortlessly
• Slack, Google Sheets, and Square – Bring submissions into your team chat, spreadsheets, or payment workflows

Our goal is simple: yes, IvyForms should capture data. But it should also make that data actionable across every system you rely on.

Templates

One of the things we’re most proud of in 2025 is our growing library of ready-to-use templates. They make our forms quick and easy to implement, no matter the user’s experience level.

Our templates cover a variety of use cases, helping different types of users get started faster:

• Small business owners creating contact forms, surveys, or registrations
• Agencies and developers building client websites with pre-designed, customizable forms
• Service-based businesses managing bookings, event registrations, and consent forms

Each IvyForms template reflects real-world scenarios, making it easier for people to create professional, functional forms without starting from scratch.

And this is just the beginning. As IvyForms grows, we’re expanding the library to reach new industries, use cases, and audiences, giving everyone the tools to create forms that work for them.

The Bigger Picture: Melograno & Our Vision

2025 wasn’t just about launching IvyForms; it was also a year of growth and transformation for our team. This year, TMS rebranded to Melograno, marking a new chapter for the company and our products.

Melograno, Italian for pomegranate, symbolizes exactly what we strive to do: take small seeds of ideas and nurture them into products that grow, evolve, and spread far beyond their origin. And IvyForms is a perfect reflection of that vision. What started as a simple, intuitive form builder is quickly growing into a powerful tool for creators, agencies, and businesses alike.

The rebrand also reflects the values that guide everything we do:

• Integrity – staying transparent, thoughtful, and aligned with our promises
• Progress – constantly learning, iterating, and improving
• Dedication – committing to delivering real value for our users
• Support – building a community where collaboration leads to success
• Quality – raising the standard in every detail
• Freedom – empowering our team and our users to take ownership and innovate

For IvyForms, this means that we’re creating a product that supports people, solves real problems, and grows with them.

Looking Ahead: IvyForms in 2026

As we close out 2025, the IvyForms team is already dreaming big for the year ahead. 2026 promises to take IvyForms further, faster, and smarter, with new features and integrations designed to make form creation easier, more powerful, and more connected than ever.

Some of the highlights we’re working on include:

• Extended & specialized fields – For more complex forms and unique use cases
• Advanced templates – Helping users build forms they need in no time
• Multi-page forms – Split long forms and improve completion rates and UX
• Conversational forms – Making forms more engaging and user-friendly
• Form customization – Our forms and your brand and style
• Multiple payment methods – Streamlining transactions directly through forms
• Zapier, Rest API & Webhooks – Expanding automation possibilities and integration with other tools
• Advanced integrations – Giving users seamless workflow connections

2026 will be about growth, possibilities, and turning ideas into action and we can’t wait to continue this journey with our community.
