Use the Contact Form widget to add a complete web form to your site. The Contact Form widget allows you to provide visitors with a variety of input areas; specific text, drop-down, radio buttons, check boxes, date, time, email, and phone numbers. You can use the form for email newsletter opt-ins, customer questions, or simply to gather feedback from your site visitors.

Note

On radio buttons and check boxes, you can add images to display for the options. The images will not appear in the email received from the form submissions, but the selected label appears (even if hidden on the site).

To add the widget:

1. In the left panel, click Widgets.
2. Click and drag the Contact Form widget into your site.
