The customer is king. This universal mantra holds true even today. Customers are the backbone of a company—and for that reason, your services and products should always be accessible to them. Today, having a website is an essential part of providing this support.
Additionally, because the customer is king (or queen), he or she might want be able to contact your company directly with questions and comments. You should be prepared for this because if you don’t treat your customers accordingly, they may leave your site and never return.
That is why you need to have a contact form for your website.
In this post, I’m going to discuss 3 of the best contact form plugins for WordPress. I’ve given all of them my stamp of approval, so test them out for yourself and see which one suits you best!
Contact Form 7
This is one of the most commonly used plugins to develop contact forms. The best advantage of this plugin is its flexibility and customizable abilities. Contact Form 7 supports CAPTCHA and Ajax submission. If you’re familiar with HTML, you can easily customize this plugin to suit your needs by using a simple markup.
This plugin also facilitates the use of Akismet filtering, which minimizes your chances of getting spam.
Contact Form Maker
This is one of the easiest contact form plugins for WordPress. It’s based on a simple, yet efficient backend interface, and provides unlimited tools to use within the contact form. By using this plugin, you can develop both simple and complicated contact forms. You can also create various fields that will be incorporated into emails—including date, time, email, and text area.
One of the best advantages of this plugin is that you can make code-level changes in the program with relative ease—thus adding extended customization to the interface.
It also supports standard CAPTCHA and ReCAPTCHA functions.
Contact Form
Contact Form is a very user-friendly plugin, with a straightforward setup. To get the plugin up and running, simply activate the plugin, and insert the simple shortcode: bestwebsoft_contact_form.
By using this plugin, you can choose where you want to send incoming messages, without defined user or email restrictions. You can also give the option of attaching a file within the form.
There is a pro version of this plugin available, which allows you to make further customization and behavioral changes to the contact form. I recommend this if you have complex requirements when it comes to customer feedback.
