Email Link or Contact Form?

There are two main ways websites allow you to contact the site owner.

1. Email form - requires programming for the form fields and email sending (all done behind the scenes when the site is built)


2. Email link - requires the use of the visitor's email program. If their email program is not configured on their computer, it will ask him to set up his email program. (Many people use email programs and have them already configured and in use daily - others use a webmail type program and don't understand how to configure their email program)

   Here's how to link an email address:
   
   

   <a href="mailto:emailaddress@isp.com">Email me</a>

Our Contact Form is a good example of an email form (see screenshot below).

There is more information available on email forms in our support manual. See the page on Formmail to see how the form fields and email functionality is programmed. And see Captcha Info to understand how those little letters and numbers in the box function to keep spambots from using your form.
