Using the Contact Form Builder

Below is the contact form builder.

• Make sure to add your email address in the upper left.
• Create your form instructions in the box below the email address field. This can be as simple as "Fill out your info below" or something more specific like "Use this form to contact me and I'll send you an exclusive free track"
• Use the options under form elements to ask your visitors specific questions and give them options for their response.
• Once added, you can drag and drop the form elements in the order you want. For obvious reasons, the name and email fields are required.

• Recipient Email Address - Put in your Email address here! This represents the address that completed forms get sent to.
• Form Instructions - This will appear at the top of your form. So enter in instructions like "Hey, thanks for signing up! Fill this out, and click submit" or something to that effect.
• Add Textbox - This will make a 1 line field available for people to enter in an answer of some kind. An example would be Name, Email, City, etc--anything that would hold 1 line of text.
• Add Comments -For those longer responses like "comments", this option will make a small box for guests to leave longer comments for you.
• Add Dropdown Reponse - This creates a dropdown option people can choose from. For example, you can make a dropdown response for "favorite food" with "pizza, hotdogs, candy" as responses they can chose from. Keep in mind, they can only select ONE option here.
• Add Multiple Choice Response - This option is similar to the dropdown response, in that multiple answer are available. However, this entry will have check-boxes instead of a dropdown menu. Guests can also select multiple or all the answers they can choose from.
• Add Single Option Response - Much like the previous option, but users can only select one answer here.

When you have finished your form, click "Save" and then publish your site. Voila!
