Contact forms are highly needed for our websites. It makes it easier for customers to reach us directly from our websites. But our websites do not come with this form, so the responsibility to build one is always on us. Good enough you do not need to learn any code to get one, it is easy and straight forward to achieve.
That is what I have set to achieve in this training, I will show you how to set up your contact form. We will not stop at that, I will show you how to get a notification every time someone sends you a message via your contact.
Before I begin, I think it is good you understand why you need a contact form.
Every one of use already has an email address. So why the need for a contact form?
You can easily insert your email address and people will see it and get in touch with you. Yes but it goes beyond that.
Relax
We will not be coding, we will engage plugins which are very easy to install.
Your Email address is not good to be pasted everywhere around your website, they are easy prey for spambots. So this will lead to you receiving a lot of spam mails.
Another good reason why filling contact form is better than emails is the time taken. It is easy and faster to fill the forms on your website than moving to email platforms to send mail. And top of it, you can get the information you need. While emails will give you email addresses, from the contact form you can get phone numbers and the likes.

Thanks for another excellent instruction. I have been trying to set this up but I haven't got the email to work yet. I tried to use my Gmail address but they blocked that for security reasons. My preferred solution would be to use the email address that is associated with my site. So on Wordpress. Does anyone know how to set that up?
Can I write to you if I have a question?
Have a great day.
