Uknown Property Error adding custom controller to VF page

The property and method are public so not sure why I'm getting this error:

User-added image

My Custom Controller:
  
public class MeritusSignupController {


 public Form__c form {get;set;}
 public String formId {get;set;}
 public Account a {get;set;}
 public Contact c {get;set;}
 public String is_new {get;set;}


 public MeritusSignupController()
    {
    
     form= new Form__c();
     form.Applicant_First_Name__c = UserInfo.getFirstName();
     form.Applicant_Last_Name__c = UserInfo.getLastName();
     form.Email__c = UserInfo.getUserEmail();
     a= new account();
     is_new = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('newform');
     formId = ApexPages.CurrentPage().getParameters().get('formid');
     String userId= UserInfo.getUserId();
     c= new contact();
      
     List<Form__c> formList = new List<form__c>();
        if (is_new == 'true')  
        {
            form = new form__c();
            form.Applicant_First_Name__c = UserInfo.getFirstName();
            form.Applicant_Last_Name__c = UserInfo.getLastName();
            form.Email__c = UserInfo.getUserEmail();
        }
    
        else if (formId != null)
        {
            formList = [Select id, Student__r.Name, Student__c, Applicant_First_Name__c,Applicant_Last_Name__c,Email__c from form__c where id =: formid];
        }
    
     upsert form; 
     upsert c;
    }

My VisualForce :
  
<apex:page Controller="SignupController" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" >
<apex:stylesheet value="{!URLFOR($Resource.AppCss)}" />

<body>

<apex:form>

    <div>
      <apex:inputtext value="{!Form__c.Applicant_First_Name__c}" />
    </div>  

    <div>
      <apex:inputtext value="{!Form__c.Applicant_Last_Name__c}" />
    </div>  
    
<apex:commandButton value="Save" action="{!save}" />
 

</apex:form>
</body> 
  
</apex:page>

Hello Jonathan,

This error is coming because on you page you are trying to access Form__c.Applicant_First_Name__c and Form__c.Applicant_Last_Name__c, but you should use 'form' instead of 'Form__c'. As, you have declared in the Controller in the 1st line:
public Form__c form {get;set;}

Also, the controller name on the page should be 'MeritusSignupController' instead of 'SignupController' in the below line:
<apex:page Controller="SignupController" showHeader="false" sidebar="false" >
Please ensure the controller name match.

Please let me know if this helps.
If yes, please mark the question as Solved.

Thanks and Regards,
Anirudh Singh
