Step 12: Create Contact Page

Your Contact page lets customers reach you right from your website. We’re going to create a contact form, put it on your Contact page, and test it.

1. Add Your Contact Info

Open your Contact page. If WPForms shows a tip at the top, click the x to close it.

Type a sentence or two at the top of the page:

• ☐ Your phone number
• ☐ Your hours
• ☐ Your address or the area you serve
• ☐ When you’ll reply, like within one business day

Click Update.

2. Create the Form

Go to: WPForms → Add New Form

1. ☐ Type a name for your form, like Contact Form.
2. ☐ Find Simple Contact Form and click Use Template.

The form already has Name, Email and Message. That’s all most businesses need.

3. Check the Settings

Click Settings on the left.

General

• ☐ Change the button text if you like, such as Send Message.

• ☐ Site Administrator Email is the address you used to install WordPress. Not one you check every day? Click the x and type the right one.

1. ☐ Click Save.
