3 Ways How to Create a Contact Form in HTML

You can choose one of the following approaches when you create a contact form for your website:

Copy a Contact Form Code
Copying someone else’s contact form HTML code is not as easy as it sounds. If you have no experience with HTML or CSS, you won’t be able to add new fields and change the design of your form. Then, you’ll need to run a server with a database to send responses to as well as PHP scripts to manage response collection.

Code Your Own Contact Us Form in HTML
You can learn how to create a contact form from scratch using HTML. Keep in mind that you’ll still need to create a visual design for it and configure the form integration on your website with PHP commands.

Customize the Design

In the Form Editor, open Form Elements to add all the fields you need for your contact form: name, email address, phone, text areas, and more. Include a drop-down list for the contact topics to make your communication more effective. Customize texts for each field in their settings. Change the position of the added fields by dragging them up and down the form.

Expand the Form Designer to choose one of the standard themes. Add your logo as a finishing touch.

Finally, create a custom message that your visitors will see after submitting their requests.
