In our latest FileMaker DevCast, our team reviewed the latest on all things FM BetterForms, including updates, real-world projects, and why it’s become a go-to tool for modern web app development on the Claris FileMaker platform.
Real-world wins with FM BetterForms
One standout project showcased a massive online archive that initially quadrupled their network traffic. The team tackled it with layered caching strategies, cutting load times dramatically and keeping the experience lightning-fast.
FM BetterForms proved its ability to handle complex data and heavy user traffic, all while staying tightly integrated with FileMaker.

Design, security, and Figma
With FM BetterForms, great design goes hand in hand with smart development. Our team uses Figma as the source of truth for our web apps, to keep mockups and live builds perfectly aligned as projects evolve. This approach ensures that every visual detail and interaction is intentional, consistent, and well-documented.
Paired with sleek, mobile-ready layouts and a secure Authorize.net integration for PCI-compliant payments, FM BetterForms makes it easy to deliver web apps that are both beautiful and reliable.

Why it matters
FM BetterForms bridges the gap between traditional Claris FileMaker development and full-stack web design. It offers speed, flexibility, and the power to go from concept to MVP fast, helping developers and clients alike build smarter, scalable web apps that look great and perform even better.
