The Custom Contact Form: By Popular Demand

The ContactMe contact form has been a huge hit with our users, but there was one feature missing that you, the users, wanted: the ability to customize the fields in your contact form. So, at the risk of making you drunk with power, the ContactMe engineers have given you complete control over the form’s fields. Now you can easily:

• Change the names of existing fields
• Add new fields, including textboxes, checkboxes, dropdown menus, radio buttons, date/time options, and more
• Delete fields
• Reorder the fields
• Mark a field as required

Why Customize?

Most contact forms only contain fields for collecting a person’s name, email address, phone number, and message. But with the new ContactMe contact form, you can collect the precise information you need by adding, adjusting, or deleting fields. Think of all the details your business would benefit from gathering: your lead’s Twitter address, mailing address, Skype ID, job title, alternate phone number, company name, URL, referrer, gender, birthday, date and time of submission, and more. Better info means better follow-up messaging and more lead conversions!

A Simple Form Builder

We purposely designed the contact form builder so that you can edit form fields on the left side of the screen while seeing a preview of the form on the right. This setup must be working because we’ve received a lot of positive feedback about how easy it is to make a great contact form with our builder.

Here’s an example of the new customization: by clicking on the pencil next to the “Message” field, I am changing its name from “Message” to “What’s on your mind?”:

And, by clicking “Add another field,” I am now adding Checkboxes to the form. I named this field “Your Favorite Genre”:

Intuitive Form Management

Once you’ve built out your form, you may want to adjust it. Doing so couldn’t be simpler:

• Drag the fields or down to reorder them
• Click the pencil to edit
• Click the X to delete

Easy Contact Management

Automating your lead generation process saves you a ton of time and effort. The information that comes in through the contact form is automatically added to your ContactMe account. Simply login to ContactMe.com to see your contact list.

Build out your contact form with the fields you want and you’ll never go back. A customized form is a like flat screen TV with a DVR—robust, automated, intelligent, easy to use, and snazzy-looking—whereas the standard contact form is more like a 21” TV with VCR.

Happy customizing!
