how to create a contact form

 

A Contact form is the most common website form and though it will mostly evolve programming or the hiring of a  programmer in order to add such a form to your website, there is a more economical and simple solution especially for those who have no programming skills.   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 By using a WYSIWYG email form builder an inexperienced user can create the most beautiful forms to suit his/her needs.

 

A contact form usually consists of the following fields:

First name, last name, company, title, contact purpose, telephone number, email address and of course the message. One may add or subtract fields at any time, the important thing is to make the fields you need the most mandatory (so you will not end up with a message that does not contain the person’s email/phone number to get in touch with…).

Steps for creating such a form using a form builder are:

 

  

 

1-     enter the form builder designer
2-     drag the elements on to the design area.

use the “label” element for the texts which sit next to each element.

4-     Change the caption of the element. This is the name of the element in the form and this name will later appear in the emails, data management report etc.
