What is a Contact Form?
A contact form is a page on a website that contains a brief questionnaire that allows users to provide information about themselves and show an interest in being contacted about your products or services. Common form fields are first name, last name, email address, and area of interest. Essential elements of a contact form are a statement confirming the user is giving you permission to make contact and a link to your privacy policy.
Example
For example, imagine you’re visiting a website for a local bakery. On the “Contact Us” page, you might see a contact form where you can enter your name, email address, subject (e.g., “Question about custom cakes”), and your message (e.g., “I’m interested in ordering a custom cake for my daughter’s birthday”). After filling out the form and clicking “Submit,” your message is sent to the bakery’s email address, allowing them to respond to your inquiry. Contact forms are a convenient way for website visitors to get in touch with businesses or website owners without using email clients or phone calls.
