Ok, I looked what it means in terms of technology, it's all pretty
simple on the UI side (even drawing your signature with the mouse is
easy: https://codepen.io/dus7/pen/qGQbVP)

But it's more complicated on the digital signature side:

It looks like for the form you cannot simply use an HTML page over
HTTPs, you have to display a PDF. In the open source world I found
https://www.signserver.org and http://isafepdf.eurekaa.org, there are
probably others too, it looks like a lot of companies are into this
business. Anyhow I don't think it'd be particularly complicated to
find out how to achieve online digital signatures, but sure it's an
investment of time & effort.
