Webform

Webform is the module for making forms and surveys in Drupal. After a submission, users may be sent an e-mail "receipt" as well as sending a notification to administrators. Results can be exported into Excel or other spreadsheet applications. Webform also provides some basic statistical review and has an extensive API for expanding its features.

Webform has not been ported to Drupal 8, however the YAML Form module is in the process of moving to the Webform namespace. New users should consider using the core contact module in D8 for simple use cases (especially coupled with the contact_storage module) or for more complex use cases the Webform module.

Some good examples could be contests, personalized contact forms, or petitions. Each of these could have a customized form for end-users to fill out. If you need to build a lot of customized, one-off forms, Webform is a more suitable solution than creating content types and using CCK or Field module. Explanation of Webform vs. CCK (or Fields). Webform is second most popular non-utility contrib module, after Views. It is a large, rich module used by hundreds of thousands of sites.
