Make an online form
It's a breeze to make an online form (or contact form) when you make a free website or a pro website with doomby - it's the ideal way to let your visitors contact you by e-mail or provide feedback. It only takes a few moments to personalize the form to adapt it to your needs or public, making it perfect to make a registration form, make a feedback form or a customer service form for your online store etc.
Why make a contact form?
These days, it's almost impossible to publish an e-mail address online without it being almost instantly subjected to thousands of spam e-mails.
Making an online contact form ensures your visitors can contact you easily, without you then being swamped by spam. You can quickly adapt and personalize en HTML form to suit your needs.
Obviously, if you are running a business, the kind of information you'll need to add to a customer feedback form is very different to what you need to add to a membership form, a registration form or a simple information form or contact form.
Not only do the titles of each field need to match your particular information needs, they also need to be meaningful to the kind of visitor likely to use them, which will be different for a club website, an online store or a regional news site, for example.
