Hello,

 

This requirement can be accomplished through site.com and force.com both. The deifference between site.com and force.com sites is, in force.com sites we use visulaforce pages while on site.com there is no vf involved. For details refer:

Can see this is an old thread, but there is an alternative if you aren't familar with using APEX or force sites.
Right now we have a few of our orgs doing this who have thousands of form submissions related to contacts and leads.

https://help.salesforce.com/HTViewHelpDoc?id=siteforce_vs_sites.htm&language=en_US is now a dead link, like half of all Salesforce help articles referenced here.

For more information on creating web forms and capturing information from clients in Salesforce, you can refer to this guide: https://arrify.com/salesforce-form-guide/

It covers topics such as creating web forms with Site.com and Force.com Sites, customizing the form fields and layout, and integrating the form with Salesforce data. The guide also includes best practices and tips for designing and deploying effective web forms in Salesforce.

Apps from the AppExchange, like 123 Form Builder (https://www.123formbuilder.com/salesforce-forms/), can also address this need. Web forms are very easy to create, in a drag & drop form editor. Forms can be linked to any object in Salesforce, standard or custom, and data is pushed to your Salesforce org automatically upon submit. Forms are highly secure, with various anti-spam mechanisms, advanced SSL protocols, data encryption, DKIM email authentication, and more.
