Overview
A contact form is essential for capturing leads and assisting customers.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to:
  • Add a contact form to your page
  • Configure email delivery
  • Customise form fields and layout
  • Style the form to match your website
  • Optimise for mobile devices
1. Add the Form Element
Prepare Your Layout
  • Remove any unused elements by right-clicking and selecting Remove.
  • (Optional) Add a Text element to create a heading for your contact section.
Insert the Form
  • Locate the Form element in the main toolbar.
  • Drag and drop it into your layout.
  • Choose a form composition that suits your design (e.g., layouts with images or different field arrangements).
2. Customise the Design
  • Change Image (if included):
    Click the image → select the pen (edit) icon → upload or choose a new image.
  • Edit Text:
    Double-click any text to update headings or instructions.
    Use alignment options (e.g., center text) for a cleaner look.
3. Configure Email Delivery
To receive messages submitted through your form:
  • Recipient Email:
    Enter the email address where form submissions should be sent.
  • Sender Email:
    Enter the email address that will appear as the sender.
Make sure both email addresses are valid to avoid delivery issues.
4. Manage Form Fields
To customise what information you collect:
  1. Click the form and open Edit Form in the right-hand panel.
  • Reorder Fields:
    Drag and drop fields to change their position.
  • Change Field Type:
    Use the dropdown menu to select different input types (e.g., text, email, dropdown).
  • Edit Labels & Placeholders:
    • Name: Field label (e.g., “Email Address”)
    • Placeholder: Instruction inside the field (e.g., “Enter your email”)
  • Set Required Fields:
    Enable the Required option for mandatory fields.
5. Style the Submit Button
Make your call-to-action clear and visually appealing:
  • Change Colours:
    Use the Background option for button colour and Color for text.
  • Adjust Alignment:
    Use the Align settings to position the button (centering is often best for mobile).
6. Preview on Mobile
Contact forms are frequently used on mobile devices, so testing is essential:
  • Click Preview at the top of the editor.
  • Switch to mobile view and check:
    • Fields are easy to tap
    • Text is readable
    • Layout is clean and well-spaced
