Firstly, welcome to the Form Tools community!
Form Tools is designed to act as a backend tool to collect and manage the data collected by your EXISTING web form. It provides your website with a backend database and a user-friendly interface to manage the form submission data, plus a wealth of tools for managing and manipulating your form data.
You need to create your form in your existing Web Design Software package (or in code) then point the destination of the form to your Form Tools installation. You will need to have already created a new 'External' form within your installation, and added all the fields you have on your website.
I understand that Ben (the founder and main developer) plans to release a Form Builder module in the near future. This will automatically generate the HTML code to insert into your website.
Many thanks,

Mark,
Thanks for your feedback, I think I understand it a little better now.
I created a very basic contact form in Dreamweaver and uploaded it to the website. However, the submit button is not working. I'm wondering if there is an issue with how I have the "action" set up. Can you (or anyone else here) please take a look and let me know if I am doing something incorrectly?

Thanks!
---EDIT---
I got the submit button to work, but now I receive the error message "Sorry, this doesn't appear to be a valid form ID.". Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks again!
---YET ANOTHER EDIT---
I got it working! The problem was that I had a form ID of "1" in my code, but the form was actually ID 2 (I had created and deleted a form before creating my current form).
