Think about it: your contact page is what many prospective clients will be looking as they debate whether or not to get in touch with you. It may be your last chance to make a good impression!
But contact pages are where things can get a little sloppy sometimes–especially if you use a contact form. A poorly designed or generic-looking contact form can create a negative impression, especially if the form look clashes with your carefully constructed design.
Contact form design may be as simple or as elaborate as you like, in keeping with the style of your site. Just make sure the form is seamlessly integrated, both visually and textually, with everything else.
Here are 30 examples of contact forms done right. There is something to be learned from each these about creative messaging and elegant design.
