What Is Bubble Style for Radio & Checkbox Elements?
Bubble Style is an eye-catching, rounded design option you can apply to any radio button or checkbox field inside GoHighLevel's Form, Survey, and Quiz builders. Instead of the traditional square checkboxes and radio buttons that have been standard across the web for decades, Bubble Style presents your options as modern, rounded bubble shapes that feel contemporary and engaging.
When you enable Bubble Style, your form fields display as smooth, rounded containers that highlight when selected. The design is fully responsive, meaning it adapts beautifully to mobile devices, tablets, and desktop screens. Best of all—and this is crucial—you don't need to write a single line of code. The toggle is built directly into the form builder's styling panel.
The bubble design typically features:
- Rounded corners for a modern, polished appearance
- Clear visual feedback when options are selected or hovered
- Responsive scaling that looks perfect on all devices
- Customizable colors to match your agency's branding
- Improved readability with larger touch targets on mobile
Why Bubble Style Matters for Your Agency Forms
Your clients trust you to build professional digital experiences. Outdated form design sends the wrong message—it makes your clients' businesses look behind the times, and it reduces form completion rates because users expect modern interfaces.
Here's why Bubble Style is worth implementing across your agency's forms:
1. Higher Engagement and Completion Rates
Modern design elements encourage user interaction. Rounded, bubble-style buttons feel clickable and inviting compared to flat, square checkboxes. Users are more likely to complete forms that feel contemporary and well-designed.
2. Stronger Brand Perception
When your clients' leads encounter a form with modern styling, they make instant judgments about professionalism. Bubble Style signals that your client's business invests in quality experiences.
3. Better Mobile Experience
Bubble Style's larger touch targets work exceptionally well on mobile devices. Mobile users benefit from easier selection, which reduces friction and improves completion rates on the devices where most conversions now happen.
4. Zero Technical Debt
You're not adding custom code or custom CSS that will break when GoHighLevel updates. The feature is built-in, maintained by the platform, and guaranteed to work reliably.
How to Enable Bubble Style: Step-by-Step Setup
The process for enabling Bubble Style is straightforward and takes less than two minutes per form. Here's exactly what you do:
Step 1: Open Your Form, Survey, or Quiz
Navigate to the GoHighLevel form builder and open the form, survey, or quiz that contains radio buttons or checkboxes you want to style. You can apply Bubble Style to any of these form types.
Step 2: Select Your Radio Button or Checkbox Field
Click on the specific radio button or checkbox field in your form that you want to apply Bubble Style to. The field will highlight, and the editing panel will open on the right side of your screen.
Step 3: Locate the Bubble Style Toggle
In the right-side panel, look for the styling options section. You'll see a toggle or checkbox option labeled "Bubble Style" or "Rounded Style." Click to enable it.
Step 4: Customize Colors (Optional)
Under the Styles section, you can adjust font color, background color, border color, and other styling properties. Your bubble-style options will inherit these colors, so match them to your client's brand guidelines.
Step 5: Preview Your Changes
Use the preview function to see how your bubbles look on desktop and mobile. Adjust styling as needed until you're satisfied with the appearance.
Step 6: Save and Publish
Save your form and publish it to your client's website or landing page. The Bubble Style will be live immediately.
💡 Pro Tip
Apply Bubble Style consistently across all form fields in a single form for a cohesive look. Mixing classic and bubble styles in the same form can feel disjointed. Choose one style per form and stick with it for visual consistency.

Toggling Between Classic and Bubble Style Instantly
One of the best features of GoHighLevel's Bubble Style implementation is how easily you can switch between styles. This flexibility lets you test different designs without rebuilding forms.
To toggle between styles:
- Select your radio or checkbox field
- Look for the Bubble Style toggle in the styling panel on the right
- Click to enable or disable (toggling on activates Bubble Style, toggling off reverts to classic square design)
- Your preview updates immediately
This instant toggle is invaluable when you're presenting options to clients. You can show them both the classic and bubble styles in real-time and let them decide which better matches their brand personality.
You can also toggle Bubble Style for individual fields, which means you can use it selectively. For instance, you might apply Bubble Style to the main call-to-action question on a survey but keep other fields in classic style. However, as mentioned in our Pro Tip above, consistency usually produces better results.
Responsive Behavior and Compatibility Considerations
Bubble Style is fully responsive by default. Here's what you need to know about how it performs across different devices:
Desktop Behavior
On desktop screens, bubbles display with full padding and spacing. Users can clearly see all options and easily click their selections. The bubble design shines on desktop because there's plenty of room for the expanded, rounded buttons.
Mobile and Tablet Behavior
Bubble Style automatically scales on mobile and tablet devices. The bubbles remain rounded and responsive, with touch-friendly sizing. This is where Bubble Style really excels—the larger touch targets reduce accidental mis-clicks and improve the mobile user experience significantly.
Browser Compatibility
Bubble Style works across all modern browsers including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and Edge. GoHighLevel handles all the backend compatibility work, so you don't need to worry about vendor prefixes or fallbacks.
Performance Impact
Enabling Bubble Style has negligible performance impact. It's a CSS styling change—not a heavy JavaScript component—so your forms will load just as quickly whether you use classic or bubble style.
Best Practices for Using Bubble Style Effectively
1. Test with Your Audience
If you're building forms for clients, run A/B tests comparing classic vs. bubble style (if the client's scale allows it). Track completion rates, time-on-form, and error rates. Let data inform your styling decisions.
2. Match Your Brand Voice
Bubble Style feels modern and playful. If your client's brand is corporate and formal, consider whether bubble style aligns with their overall design language. The best form styling matches the brand personality.
3. Limit the Number of Options
Bubble Style works best with 3-6 options. If you have more than 6 radio buttons or checkboxes, consider breaking them into multiple questions or using a different field type like a dropdown menu.
4. Use Clear, Concise Labels
With bubble-style fields, every pixel matters. Write short, clear option labels that fit comfortably within the bubble without wrapping to multiple lines on mobile.
5. Maintain Consistent Spacing
Let GoHighLevel's default spacing handle the layout. Don't try to manually adjust padding or margin—the platform's responsive behavior is optimized by default.
Bubble Style is one of those features that feels like a small change but has a disproportionately large impact on form engagement and completion rates. By investing the two minutes it takes to enable it, you're instantly improving your clients' conversion funnels.
