WordPress Contact Form Test Success

The next custom web design option being added to the WPRoadTest.com website and tested is a standard contact form. I chose the Fast Secure Contact Form 5-star rated plugin by the same author who created SI CAPTCHA which is used to eliminate spam comments on blog posts.

Installation and setup took about 10 minutes for this basic website contact form using the default fields for the visitor’s name – first and last, email, subject, and a message. The message section is a large text area box. The number of optional settings was impressive, too.

Summary: The WordPress contact form test was a success! The test email arrived instantly in my email inbox and besides the completed fields had additional visitor data including IP, date/time, referer, and their browser.

In addition to default fields used on our test form, site owners have web design options for creating up to 4 different forms for your website and there are 8 optional custom fields you can select and set up on each form.

Upon submit the visitor instantly receives a confirmation stating “Your message has been sent, thank you.” In the past my web design method for creating a custom xhtml form in NotePad took hours to write, debug, and tweak. In addition, the contact form has similar spam protection as the SI CAPTCHA plugin, so submitting a message requires solving a CAPTCHA image.

Finally, the contact form created with the Fast Secure Contact Form plugin took minutes and meets xhtml code standards to W3c, the worldwide authority for site code. Fast, easy, and high quality custom cms web design meant the difference in our WordPress contact form test success.
